First Impressions: Good Job Club

GJ_title

Alternate Titles: GJ-bu, GJ-bu Chuutou-bu
Light novel adaptation by Dogakobo
Currently Unlicensed

Premise: A loli tsundere, a quiet genius, a tea serving yandere, and a domesticated cat girl are in a club with a brow beaten, average guy. As the Good Job Club (I’m assuming it’s called that from the title of the series), they… I don’t know what they’re supposed to do actually, they never explain that either.

I guess Taiga is into manga now

Jel’s Verdict: Staring Into the Void

I’ve seen my fair share of anime about nothing, but this may be the most about nothing out of all of them. Good Job Club is so devoid of content they resort to jokes like “I’m too short to change this light bulb!”, “san is an honorific that also means three!”, and at one point they sit down our male lead and make him say the girls names 100 times and they kind of get off on it. It’s all super slow and boring and if I did not do my research and see it was a light novel I would have been certain it was originally a 4koma.

The only slightly redeemable quality of the show

The only somewhat amusing bit is the cat girl, who literally just sits in one spot eating meat the entire episode with no context or explanation as to why they have a cat girl. Not explaining that was kind of funny, but leaving us in the dark about the rest of the club and what they do made it even harder to sit through the lame jokes. Looking at the next episode preview it looks like they may get into that, but there’s no way I’m sticking around to find out more.

  1. Fun fact: GJ-bu bills itself as the world’s first 4-koma light novel, where every scene is four pages long (counting illustrations, apparently).
