Premise: Shinomiya Kyouya is the only guy in the GJ Club, which doesnt have any particular focus. The unique personalities of the four girl members always keeps things interesting.

The Good: There are lots of anime about being in a club, and usually the selling point is whatever specific thing that club does. GJ Club instead takes the aesthetic of being in a club but isnt really about anything. The characters are all archetypes that can be found in other anime, but its still fun watching them hang out and seeing what gags emerge. I liked Mao the best, shes kind of a tsundere but shes allergic to love (or claims she is), and seeing her bite the main dude whenever she gets flustered is funny.

The Bad: There isnt anything wrong with GJ Club, but thats because it never really does anything. The whole premise is that these five characters hang out in a room and jokes develop from there. Some jokes are better than others, but very few are outright hilarious or outright duds. This is just a comedy anime about being in a club boiled down to its most basic form.

Overall: GJ Club is a funny club anime, but in my opinion it suffers from not really being about anything. Asteroid in Love, for example, wasn't as good as this, buy at least it taught me about stars and rocks. Anyway, the thing I remember most about GJ Club is that whoever made it clearly has a hair fetish. The main dude combed his way through the entire female cast over the course of the season. Nothing wrong with that, Im just struggling to find anything else to say about GJ Club.

COMING UP TOMORROW:
173: This anime is self-conscious about missing a year.
172: This anime has lost all of its money.
171: Having been defeated here, this anime will now go back in time and try to do things differently.
