It was funny. Simple as that, it's funny. If it were laugh out loud funny I'd have liked it more, but that's a tough sell. Still, I kept grinning through the whole thing. It took a while to get going but some of the gags actually really got me. You can breeze through it in 45 minutes, so it's not a huge investment nor a big loss if you dislike it. It took a while for me to get on board (considering the length "a while" might have been 12 minutes, and as long as we don't want to be called out on our concerningly decreasing attention span it's not actually much) but after it did it was a pretty relaxing and enjoyable experience. It doesn't reach the highs of its big brother, Cromartie High School -it falls short on every level compared to that-, but it's still worth watching.
I had fun, and…

While it feels a little generous to call Double-J an anime, it's still a pretty good time, and succeeds in being the kind of comedy it set out to be. Beginning with the story, there really isn't much of one. A traditional arts club gets up to a variety of antics, providing casual examples of traditional arts, wreathed in frantic, upbeat comedy.
As for the art, while it makes for an admirable display of multimedia experimentation, it feels more like an old-school flash animation than anything else. Like I said, it would be generous to call this an anime due to the general lack of any serious animation going on. Though, I don't really hold this against Double-J, as it pulls off a very funny, lighthearted experience even with this primitive technique. To take this point even further, the fl…

Double-J is a comedic mini-series focusing on cultural heritages; it had an average/good art style and the ED was really catchy and fun, the jokes were hilarious and were superbly executed. The characters were very enjoyable and I really enjoyed the show. On the other hand it is still a mini series, and mini series lack story, though it can be overlooked as Double-J is meant to be funny and does not really require a story. Overall, it really was a good anime. I recommend you watch it if you don't mind wasting two episodes of that anime you're watching as the whole Double-J anime only runs for about 25 minutes(without OP and ED) or so.

I will clarify a few things.
I am a TERRIBLE reviewer and I have tried it before with my own hands.
Ever since I improved my English and grammar (Or claimed that I have) I realized looking back at them that just… Wow, how can you call those reviews?
I sounded like some kind of foreigner or caveman talking.
The writing and grammar were so bad that I practically gave myself several face-palms.
I’m freaking American and I can’t even master my own 1st language.
So this is going to be my first PROPER review that has been reviewed with time put into it.
*Note* My grammar is still terrible despite fair improvements so there may be quite a few mistakes in my review. However, all I hope for is that any of you who are planning to read this review will find it helpful for even a minuscule amount.…

It hurts me to see how many people just outright dislike Double-J because it wasn´t what they wanted or were used to.
Double-J, for me, was exactly what I had expected and looked forward to.
Flash animation, atmospheric live-action pan shots and Cromartie-ish nonsense with sometimes not-so-typical High School girls.
The ED is fun, the characters are amusing and I don´t see why you shouldn´t give this a go, with its 22 minutes(minus the OPs and EDs).
This show was my weekly source of peace for 4 minutes and deserves a lot better IMO.

What exactly a comedy mini-series about a club that preserves traditional Japanese arts can offer? That's what draws me to watching Double-J.
I have a mix feeling with the story; the first couple of episodes are really funny as it is centered to the main theme of the series - a couple of girls who accidentally discovered this one unique club about preserving traditional arts. What are hilarious about it actually are the arts that the people of the club are trying to preserve and I laughed really hard when the characters together with their very unique arts are introduced one by one. The last few episodes though are a hit-or-miss in terms of comedic value seeing how the series headed into completely random topics that may or may not be connected with preserving traditional arts, I still h…
