GJ-bu (Anime) add (All reviews)
Feb 7, 2014
How does a story with no plot feel like it has a beginning and an end? It's like a pie with no filling satisfying your appetite, an achievement without challenge leaving you fulfilled. I'd say it's is not for those who cannot forgo a deep plot, but I can't say I'm normally a fan of slice of life either, so why not give it a shot.

This anime, in my opinion, was nearly flawless with it's delivery. I give it an 8 because it did feel a little too slow at times, but the beauty of it is that the show never stopped moving forward. It never crow barred in needless romance or drama, stopping what little pacing these type of shows normally have. It put several people in a room together and let the them collide. For twelve episodes you see the GJ club live out there high school days together. Just living, the humor coming off of where these characters come together. They act, react, and grow, and every new episode leaves you wanting to see what they might do next, what new collision will occur. And by far my favorite part was it's ending. A conclusion came, and it came because it was not a farce I watched, a fantasy played out. It was people's lives, viewed through the eyes of this club.

It was a pie that left me more than satisfied, grinning the whole way through, excited for their victories, and deeply saddened when it ended. I couldn't have asked for more, and recommend it wholeheartedly.
