This last episode made me cry... maybe because I'm flashing forward to having to say goodbye to so many of my friends when they graduate college this year.
Good solid series. I have to give it a 7 if only for the overall quality and slow/nonmoving patches in the art.

An excellent slice of life!

I enjoyed the humor and the atmosphere was great. Also, hair brushing.

Just finished watching this, I enjoyed it a lot more than Yuru Yuri, it's sad that this won't get another season it was really entertaining and I don't dislike a single character at all ;_;


I agree so much with that! >.< I thought all the characters were really cool and unique, and it would have been cool to see more of their personalities revealed. T_T

Just finished watching this show and was amazed at just how the whole series felt. There was such a relaxing feel throughout coupled with a genuinely enjoyable MC, I loved every episode.

I just wish this show could have gone on for longer, they passed a whole year in the space of a few episode while still somehow making me feel like I was saying goodbye to friends during the graduation ceremony. I would hate to know how I would feel if this show lasted 24.

'Tis a common mistake non-slice of life fans have when it comes to shows like this. The point isn't to make you laugh; otherwise, they'd suck so much ass.

They're meant to simply be relaxing and easy to watch. Kind of like a wind-down before you go to bed or something.

Let me rephrase my line,
For a SoL+comedy combo, this is one of..(what i said earlier)

Ah, I see.

I'd argue that this partgicular show isn't trying to be a comedy/slice of life combination. Yes, It does have comedic elements, but I don't feel it's trying to go for that approach as its style.

It would seem that you have not watched Hidamari Sketch, but that show is almost exactly like this one (except more toned down and slice of life-y). It's made me laugh a number of occasions, but I still don't classify it as comedy show.

It just seems wrong to me to group Gj-Bu with something like Nichijou, Lucky Star, or School Rumble which are constantly throwing gag after gag at you.

Also, a 6 is a disappointing score for you? I rated this a 5 and that's still pretty good to me.

This depends on how the person wants to grade animes I'm a generous grader, I easily give 10/10 to lots of animes. By looking at your list, you seems to be a harsh grader when you don't even want to give 10/10 to your favorite animes.

Indeed, ratings do vary widely, I see.

My scores are based on possible rewatch value as well as my overall assessment of it (in the future if I don't remember much of a show, I use those numbers to give me an idea of what shows I would most like to rewatch as well as a quick little reason).

As much as I'd like to give my favorites perfect scores, I still don't consider them perfectly rewatchable or the best thing ever made or anything like that. I just have this connection to something like Chuunibyou (Season II Baby!!!) moreso than to something some may consider objectively better like Swort Art Online or Guilty Crown Steins;Gate.

But to each his own, I'd say. Either way, I fucking love Gj-Bu.

this show did really turn out better then I thought even after starting it I had my doubts but it was worth it. sadly I read it was really close to the novel which ended so there probably will be no sequel to it. the ending was pretty good only disappointed that Kyouya or Mao didn't confess even if I was not hoping for them to get together it was obvious so I expected at least the confession but still 8/10.

Fun anime to watch. It's pretty relaxing watching it too.

Though I'd actually like a little romance involved....like maybe Mao or Megumi get together with Kyouya. That would have been sweet.

Any other anime that had this type, I would stop watching halfway through, but for some reason this anime kept calling me back to watch it. I don't know if its the Kawaii art style or the funny moments but I will remember this. I would of loved it if they added a tiny bit of romance between Megumi and Kyoro, even if it would be at the very last episodes final minutes. But hey, material for season 2 right here. =)

Also Kyoro is by far one of my most favorite MC`s. =)

Ahh that was a nice cute series which I did enjoy at the moments.

I decided to watch this series after seeing a Megumi meme labeled I will kill you so hard you will die to death. but her voice was not what I expected thats for sure.

Also that OP got me everything lol.

7/10 from me.

Heartwarming and calm funny series, I had good times watching it. The ending left me asking for more but wasn't bad, overall. I like those characters, I really do. Hopefully, this spring we get second season.
(though it's shame Kirara, Shion and Mao left - Shion was the best girl)

Sad to see this show end. All of the characters were very likable. Show was surprisingly funny. It was a good thing I picked this up again after dropping it half way through the first episode last year.
The ending graduation was excellent, I could feel what Kyolo felt. :( Reminded me of the graduation episode in Sakurasou.
Episode is 5/5. Overall was very good! 8/10

Looking forward to the sequel, too bad it was announced to be a special rather than another season. But I'll get to see these awesome characters again.

To be honest, this was the first anime of its kind that I've survived all the way through. I was surprised by how much it reeled me in, especially the second half of the series. Loved all the characters in their own way. Glad to see those spins in the last episode. ;)

Pretty great ending I must say, quite loved this whole series as it had a really lovely set of characters and a great pacing! Together with some really nice atmosphere and hilarious moments this sure made it a great anime to marathon this night! So let's see what the special has to offer but as far as this series goes a solid 9/10 for me!

I'm so sad to see this show go. It seriously tugged on my heartstrings the whole way through and reminded me heavily of my own experiences in highschool and early on in college. Which made this last episode extra tough for me because it echoed my own graduation from highschool... I'm barely holding back the tears.
9/10 because a little more character development would have been nice.

Another great show that ended way too soon. At first I thought this was going to be another moeblob high school comedy with the same recycled archetypes, but instead every character on the show was unique, refreshing and fun to watch. It a nice relaxing atmosphere, the pacing was also very good, and none of the jokes fell flat, which is quite rare for me.

This anime didn't really do anything too groundbreaking, but overall it was a fun slice of life. The characters were fairly likable for the most part, and this ending felt satisfying to conclude the club's final days. Really had me laughing pretty hard at some parts.

Exactly, even though it has one of worst MC ever, his voice actor was terrible, it felt like he didnt want to do it at all. Like he was bored all the time. Even though it was nice change from normal MC's when they are energetic or complete opposite, this guy was something 3rd, and that is not in the middle. Idk how to explain.

It was alright but it could've been better. It kinda reminds me of Seitokai no ichizon with the exception of the MC and the story. The MC in this one is quite annoying with his bland and dull personality but then again this is common in anime. 6/10

Wow, this anime was amazing. They absolutely nailed school-club comedy. The art direction, man... the best moe I've ever seen. The saturated colours, the characters designs, the faces, the eyes, the closeups on the faces and eyes. The pouts, the mischievous looks. The art direction and character design is at the absolute top of what I appreciate in an anime. The character interactions and even small developments were fantastic and on-point.

For me, this is an easy 10/10. Enjoying an anime is one thing, but it's something special when an anime can make you feel so at peace and happy, laughing out loud to the jokes and gags, and moving side-to-side with the OP and ED. This anime is incredible!

I've actually never heard of this SoL Anime. Which is quite a shame - I enjoyed pretty much every second of it. The character designs were cute as well, which is always a plus in these type of shows.

Kind of bummed out, it is already over. I don't seem to be able to find the OVA anywhere (not even some kind of DVD) - which is a shame. Probably speaks for itself, that the anime didn't sell well apparently.

There seems to be the fully subbed episode in spanish on youtube of all places, but nothing else.

Well it was a fun ride and I really enjoyed this show for what it is.

From a strange start, because it did not include the real beginning of Kyoro's arrest (first joined to the club), it ended with a very touching scenes, the ceremonial graduation. I can't believed, this twelve episodes full of meaning, from weird start, til touchable moment in the end, how can this show never exist before. Maube im just too dumb for not seeing this show before, but well, now im proud to myself wathing this in the end. This is the uniqueness of the GJ-club. SoL with a very spectacular variety of seasonings, a very unique one. With so many cute girls appear, with so much personality they had, it was very surprising when they managed to keep all the relationships clean and clear, without any significant movement, in the end.

Yeah, i know, a hot temptation must be refer explicit somewhere, but thats not the true meaning of this show right? This is GJ, yes, so GJ. Now they need to move their fucking mind, cause the show really end, and ofc my heart shall be move on from this entire piece of miracle. Keeping all of that random thing still random and no conclusion really get a miracle, i smile. Even all that random really got my attention, thats not mean they actually forgot the main dished. Kyoro, still the shine star of this show. He make this show a differ, compare to another SoL general type of show. His act really be the strength, not even mention to the maid and the little sisters too, but, his appearance really changed all of my judgement.

Like i said in the start, the strongest point becomes a real challenge for continuations. So what can i expect in the next? I guessed not much, i believed this twelved episodes shall be known as finished story. Like other amazing story of the show, the happy ending one really suit this show as well. Im glad, i dont get wrong decision. Since the sequel still there, i may come to see it when i had enough time and the video to watch it. Its pretty hard to get it in my country here, so no need to rushing time. In the end, like every comment in the previous show, my stats point here really be my personal justification. It all depends on your characteristic. Since i love this type of the show, and i really like the explicit romance content that sometime appear, and how cute all girls there, i must show my gratitude point to 10.

However, i shall say my dislike too. In this point, i dislike how ignorant and silly the main lead male feeling to a certain girl. And my rage come to no explanations toward some mystery part which is until now still unclear for me, weell, its okaay! This show really need to pointed out every side plot to the explicit resolution, eh? Okay, i get it. SoL-Comedy ftw, right?

Thats all. I may called myself as a dumb jealous cunt. Whatever, this show jad a great moment while it last, and i very gratitude for seeing all of this. So, my final thought, 9 for overall, and 10 points for other aspect section such as story, and else.

GJ!
