GJbu isnt the best slice of life show in the world and you could have probably guessed that from the fact that nobody remembers it. Its okay in all fronts nothing to hate about it but you wouldnt call it innovative in any significant way either. It features a guy and four girls they sit around in a club room and talk for 24 minutes at a time while screaming at each other and making the viewer laugh. Theres a few little sisters theres a maid and a secret 6th member that joins later as if this was a super sentai show. Its jokes arent particularly hilarious in the moment just mildly funny. its visuals are fine the concept is standard. Is there anything to highlight about it? Well there is. Somehow. By the time i finished it my review of it quite literally said anyway GJ Club is a show that exists. And yet now that its been year since then I cant help but look back on it fondly. Despite being a show that i defined with a 72/100 at the time i felt that it was more memorable than that. Suddenly out of nowhere I remembered that the show had a TV Special. I looked it up wondering if it was one of those several 5 minute skits specials that many other shows had. To my surprise something with a name as stupid as GJbu was actually an hour long episode taking place right after the show. Something about the prospect of GJbu: The Movie filled me with excitement and I decided to watch it. Hearing that opening theme again after a year was... nostalgic I guess? It filled me with an indescribable happiness. All the stupid running gags came back to me as I watched a compilation of silly skits featuring every joke i remembered from the show and a few that Id forgotten about. If that was all I would have been satisfied. Ive seen plenty of OVAs out there that did this same format. Just a fun extra for the people who liked the show. Nothing more than that. But then it changed tone. The second half of the special acts as a sendoff to the characters that I didnt actually care much about. And yet I felt compelled anyway. You dont often get to see a slice of life show with an episodic format have an emotional climax like this. Especially not one as forgotten as GJbu is. It was actually beautiful watching these characters one more time. I dont even know how to put it into words really. It just gave me an indescribable happiness that i wasnt really expecting. This is the second time I said that within this review. indescribable happiness. And I think thats what my feelings towards this TV special are. It made me appreciate a show that I dont think I would have remembered that fondly otherwise. I think thats meaningful. In general Ive always really treasured the stories that make me feel emotions. This somehow is one of them. And its the highest praise I can give it. This score is subjective obviously. Perhaps you watched this and you think this review Im writing is pure nonsense and thats fine. I just wanted to put these emotions into words. Those words being indescribable happiness
