GJ-BU@ is essentially two episodes packaged together. The first episode deals with them in new york. I enjoyed it, but it sort of felt like a waste considering they contained themselves to the classroom. I know it's not like this is the first time it's happened (remember the school festival they didn't actually show?), but I still sort of wish it showed them going out and sightseeing. The second is both funny and a bit more serious. It showed the potential GJ-BU had as a non-comedy series. This makes me wonder something; why didn't they expand the story or characters more in the parent series? They'veshown they are capable of making a series which can seamlessly transition from funny to serious. Keeping it all contained to a single room feels like a waste of potential. Perhaps they just wanted to play it safe. Ah well. The ending wraps up the series nicely enough.

Anyways, GJ-Bu@ is an enjoyable addition to its parent series. It gives you one more chance to see the characters you love and provides a reasonable amount of closure to the series while also making you want more. It's a shame this series didn't get a season 2. Between the junior GJ club and the original one, there's a lot that could go on.

I'd recommend this to anyone who liked GJ-BU.
