It didn’t feel like that long ago when I first started watching this series. 3 months and 12 episodes later we’re already at the end of the series. I expected a good episode to finish it all off and I pretty much got what I wanted. They stuck with the comedy for the entire duration and there was no hint of drama like some of the other episodes. The introduction looked like a parody of “The Drifters”, which I thought they did okay with. If I’m not mistaken about this parody then I would have liked to see them do a variation of theme song for “The Drifters”. This episode has its fair share of fan service along with its signature style of humour. The scene that really stuck with me was when Yuma wasn’t able to continue giving massages. I couldn’t help but laugh when Eriko took a hold of Yuma’s bloody hand. We don’t exactly get a real conclusion to the series, but rather we see the end of a chapter and the beginning of a new one. On the whole, I thought this was a pretty solid episode and a satisfactory way to wrap up a series like this. There’s definately room for another season, but whether or not we will get another season remains to be seen.

When I watched the first episode of this series, I thought this was going to be one unforgettable series. To a certain extent it did live up to some of my expectations, but on the other hand I also got a taste of the unexpected. The humour they used in the series was quite different from the other comedy series in recent memory. This was what caught my attention right away. I had really high hopes for the series after watching the first two episodes. Unfortunately, they were not able to keep up with the humour I had come to love from this series. They go as far as adding in some drama, which was neither expected nor desired. The character development wasn’t all that great, but that’s something I’m willing to overlook considering it was only 12 episodes long. It would have been nice if we got to know some of the characters better though. One of the biggest annoyance I had with this series was the fairly inconsistent art. It may seem like I didn’t really like this series, but that’s not true. It is true that this series wasn’t as good as I had expected it to be based on the preliminary episodes. That’s not to say I didn’t have a good time watching this series. Not every episode was a winner, but it had enough good episodes to make me think this series was well worth watching. For people who want a comedy series that’s a little different from the usual then this may be a good candidate. It is because of some of the humour they use in this series that I cannot recommend this series to everyone that wants to watch a comedy series. I think it’s definately only appropriate for an older audience. Hopefully this won’t be the last time we’ll get to see the antics of the “Baka-Gundan”.

If there was ever going to be an episode devoted to Eriko, then this was the one. Wanting to impress her crush from elementary, she gets the help of the other girls. In true “GIRL’S-HIGH” fashion they end up doing some pretty hilarious things. I swear it must be all those supplements that’s stunting Ikue’s growth. The only part I didn’t like was seeing Eriko chase after the scarf she made. I thought that scene was extremly boring. Many parts during the reunion were predictable, yet they still managed to be funny. Sometimes the things Akari does end up not being that funny, but she manages to turn that around and do a hilarious bit in this episode. It’s kind of too bad that the next episode is already the finale.

Due to this episode being centered around Ayano and Shimotakatani Takanori, the other characters had smaller roles than usual. We get our first and probably only look at Ayano’s family. It’s a bit unfortunate this episode is most likely the only chance we get to see Ayano’s sister. I thought she was awesome in this episode. We learn that Takanori has a fetish for glasses, which explains a lot. It solves the question of why he was so interested in Ayano when they first met. It was hilarious to see Akari figure out Takanori’s fetish. As one would expect, it turns out that Takanori has come to love Ayano for who she is and not for her glasses. For an episode that didn’t focus on the better characters of the series, I found myself enjoying this episode.

This was one of those classic episodes that involves misunderstanding that leads to hilarity.  I thought the writers did a good job with this episode by being able to keep the misunderstanding flowing from the beginning until the end.   As soon as we found out what Akari had been worried about things really took off from there.  It was pretty funny to see the characters trying to cheer her up when we knew what was really going on.  Of course, as much as I liked this episode I still had one issue with it.  I would have liked to see them realize it was all a misunderstanding because that would have provided a perfect opportunity for comedic gold.  Regardless, I still had a lot of fun watching this episode.

The series is slowly recovering from the slump two episodes ago.  In this episode we get to see what the girls were like back in junior high.  There were some scenes that I thought were funny.  For really no logical reason at all, Yuma states that she dislikes Eriko which leads to an entertaining feud between the two.  In particular, I really liked the scene that took place at the ramen shop.  Afterwards they showed us why Eriko didn’t eat much of the ramen, which I thought worked really well.  All of the girls haven’t changed much besides their hair styles.  At least for all the girls except Kyoko.  I would never have guessed that Kyoko used to be fat.  I didn’t see this one coming at all.  With 4 episodes left I hope the remaining episodes will be of similar quality as the first few episodes.

The episode turned out to be quite different than what I had expected. Overall, I thought this episode was a bit too silly. For instance, I thought the way Eriko and Odagiri won the challenge was cliché and didn’t really work for the series. If it wasn’t for some memorable scenes this episode would have been very disappointing. Yuma’s water slide scene was pretty funny in my opinion. During Akari’s superhero performance they played a song from “Gravion”, which totally caught me by surprise. Eriko screaming that she would get pregnant while Odagiri was carrying her was hilarious. They could have done a lot more if they had actually gone on some actual amusement park rides instead of the couples challenge. In the next episode we’ll get to see what the girls were like back in junior high so that should be fun to watch.

This is a continuation from last week’s episode. Instead of the usual humour-filled episode I have come to love, this episode is mostly drama. There was some humour in it, but it was really limited and not all that great. I probably enjoyed this episode the least out of the first 6 episodes. It wasn’t a bad episode, but if I wanted to see drama I would watch something else. I’ve come to expect humour from this episode so when they only include a minimal amount it’s a little disappointing. Eriko and Akari make a great duo with their similar interests. Although they really need to work on their comedy act, they definately have potential. I just know that by the end of the series they’ll be able to pull off something in their act to make me laugh. Towards the end we see a bit of progress between Yuma and Momoka. They may still not get along, but it looks better than before. Now that Momoka’s story is finished, it may be a while before we see her again. I just don’t see her as much of a common recurring character.

This is the first time where an episode did not conclude after one episode. The episode had an atmosphere that was more serious than the previous episodes. Of course, this wouldn’t be the same series without its signature humour. Although there weren’t a lot of scenes with funny moments, it still managed to provide a few laughs. Probably the most humourous scene was when Eriko was being taught how to swim. Seeing her scream out of disgust was hilarious. We’re introduced to a new character in this episode as well. We learn that Momoka is Yuma’s younger sister. Pretending to be a good person, Momoka ends up stirring up some trouble. It’s not a scenario we’ve never seen in other series before. I didn’t think this series would actually incorporate a bit of drama. For now I’m enjoying it, even though what I really like about the series is its humour.

The intro scenes are random and don’t relate to the following episode in any way, but they have been pretty funny. Although this episode wasn’t my favourite, it was still hilarious. One of the best lines in this episode was in a scene between Kyoko and Akari while they were trying to throw balls into a basket. The line came so naturally from Akari that it made it funnier than if it had been said by any of the other characters. As much as I like Akari, her costume gags are beginning to feel a bit overused. If the costumes had some actual relation to the context it may be funny, but for now they’ve been quite out of place in my opinion. Ayano acts no different than before, but she had some pretty hilarious scenes. Due to her period, Yuma was pretty much left out of this episode. Since she’s supposed to be more of the sporty type I thought we would get to learn more about her this week. For now the girls seem to complement each other really nicely, but I would still like to get to know the more neglected girls such as Yuma, Kyoko, and Ikue.

This was yet another hilarious episode. It wasn’t as funny as the previous two episodes, but it was still great. One of my favourite parts was when Ayano looked all impressed by her friends’ eargerness to help Ikue only to find out the real reason why they wanted to “save” Ikue. I wanted to learn about the other girls besides Eriko and Akari and we got just that. We now have a better idea of what Ikue and Kyoko are like after this episode. I was wondering what had happened with Eriko and the others when the ending credits started rolling. Luckily there was an epilogue after the ending credits. I should have seen this coming based on what they’ve shown in the first two episodes, but I was still surprised to see them wave around a dildo like that. I thought the way Eriko, Yuma, and Akari reacted to it was hilarious.
