Yessss, it's back even if it's just briefly!

The OP song is awesome and I like the new setting. New York~
I want to go there someday. Hamburger~

But seriously, it was great seeing the Gj-Club girls again and Kyouya too. The maid outfit and the American-style outfits were cute.

That the highlight of their trip to NY was the hamburgers has me somewhat depressed.

I mean, at least they could have gotten some local specialty bagels.

I was prepared for this episode to feel off after the ending of the original, but love how they still managed to touch my heart on the second half.
Mao was as cute as always, and really wanted softly glomp and pet her when she was crying.
The rest of the girls were as nice as always as well.
Mao x Kyoro better happen in-universe, the 2 go so well together.
I thought the ending for the original was perfect, but this was just as great. A big GJ to the studio!!
Thankyu for bringing this relaxing and beautiful series known as GJ-bu!

They should have just made this as an added ep of the mother anime.

GJ-Bu is baaaack!

Aww yis, Welcome to NYC, aka the Big Apple! Love the Statue of Liberty ^^

Also, I love how at the beginning Megumi was humming the 4th ED from the last season. It was my favorite one too <3 I was kinda hoping for a new OP song, but I'm alright with it since it brings back memories!

I already knew this from the first season but this show LOVES. IT's. FOOD. - Lol @ Tama and the Toy chips.
Omg, I am so craving a hamburger right about now, but it's not good to eat junk food so early in the morning, especially since I jog xD

I lol'd at Mao's falcon Kick - Kyoro should really learn keep his mouth shut around Prez ^_^

I really like how the episode was laid out. It actually felt real, as in they were naive tourists wandering around everywhere!

And of course, you know it wouldn't be a GJ-Bu episode if the Prez didn't leave a mark on you.

Overall it was a fantastic episode and I'm really happy to see the cast again. Would really love to see another new season in the works if possible!

First half was the graduation trip to New York with the entire cast complete with imoutos too and maid twirls! :D Hamburgers! I'm gonna think of GJ-bu every time I eat hamburgers, lol. :F

The second half was so awesome. It was pure gold... The Good Job club will never die and even if they graduate, their bonds are eternal! Wonderful! The last bit while Hashiridashou was playing on the background were everyone was having fun together as a club outside of their school was too awesome to watch that it brought a tear to my eye. :')

This special was so fantastic and it's really worth watching it! Thank you! \(*T▽T*)/ Long live the GJ Club!

It was okay. A bit better than the TV anime.

Didn't disappoint. My goodness, we got the opening adjusted to the New York theme, Kyoroko, and of course,

Mori-san's maid twirling!

This should definitely get a season 2, I think Kyoro and Tamaki can totally lead it, with new members and also including the 3 sisters!

I wasn't so keen on the ending of the actual series but I really liked the ending of this special. It felt appropriate. Overall I thought it was humorous and heart-warming, especially the first half. =)

I'm only disappointed in the fact that we didn't see Kyoya's alias, Oreman.

It was great to see the girls and Kyouya again.^^



I noticed that too. I'm glad I wasn't the only one. =)

In my humble and very biased opinion, NYC is a much better place to visit than LA anyway :3

At first I thought it was going to be like the K-On movie in London though, and I do wish the GJ club had partaken in local fare.

The America part was o.o really GJ-bu like... but it was great how they didn't go sightseeing much.
Mao crying got me a little, but really glad everyone is back again.

I was excited for this, I liked this show and it's been a while since it ended.

It didn't disappoint, it was really good. I liked the outfits they wore, the costumes were funny, and the clothes they wore after that were pretty. Then the graduates putting the uniforms back on at the end was a nice touch.

That part at the end was really nice with them playing around at the school at night, I liked that a lot. That made a nice end to this. Even if another season of this comes out it wouldn't be the same without Shion, Mao, and Kirara. If that happens I hope they will show up a lot despite what Mao said, or maybe it could be outside of the clubroom.

Anyway, this special was good, as the rest of this series was.

Though most of it wasn't even in New York, no engrish as well.
Some nice emotional moments.

I was a tad disapointed that they didn't tour New York, also it would of been fun to see them trick or treat :3 I loved Megumi and Kirara's American outfits thoigh ;) Kirara's sister sure knows how to eat a hamberger though :P

The second half was so good and it was the first time seeing them outside of the clubroom XD

Anyways, awesome special!

Haha, yep. I soaked everything up in this special. It's been too long since I've seen GJ-Bu. Did you see the way they ate the hamburgers? I almost wanted to classify it as food ecchi xD

Wow Megu was GLORIOUS!!

The first part in NY was rather boring but the 2nd half really made up for it. It seems that Kyoro and Mao is canon now although I don't mind a harem ending for this. Megu and Shion are just too good to pass up.

Welp, time to order some McD burgers now.
