First Impressions: Gokujyo

Gokujyo is a show with short episodes about a girl named Minami and her friends. This show is not intended for younger audiences.

In the first episode of Gokujyo, the main character Minami is getting ready for school when she is distracted and forgets to put on her panties. This leads to people finding her panties, trying to get panties from a friend, and other hijinks.

In the second episode of Gokujyo, Minami has the hiccups. They spend the whole episode trying to cure the hiccups with strange remedies.

Gokujyo is a short comedy show, so I was not expecting it to be really deep or the best thing I have ever seen. I was not surprised by this series. The whole two episodes I saw revolved around the main character freaking out about a situation. I can understand being upset about having no panties on, but why did she need to beat someone up over the hiccups? The two incidents were no where near on the same scale, but she reacted the same to both.

The character in this show appear to be one trick ponies. The main character Minami always has something going on and freaks out which is the structure of the show. Konatsu is always doing things that will piss Minami off like calling her the wrong thing and then she gets beat up. Ai is the level headed one who tries to be helpful when whatever the situation is happens.

It shouldn’t be very surprising that with a setting of an all girls school that the group appears to be lesbians. The show is not very subtle about it either like when Konatsu talks about how nice Minami’s vagina looks. I don’t care if the cast is lesbians, but I think it could have been handled better.

Overall this show does not have much going for it with a repetitive storyline and flat characters. If you really just want to watch any show with lesbians in it this might be the show for you.

Status: Not Watching

 

Gokujyo fail

A lot of the comedy for this show comes from sight gags like this.
