I love the concept but I'm not a fan of the live action part with the old man. I want to see more of Kaede, the gyaru.

The first half of the episode is pretty great.

The second half was unsettling...

Lmao that cliffhanger. I hope Mieharu will be okay.
Will probably continue this. It's fun and wacky.

That... was interesting I guess :)
We can clearly see the same gimmicks with Poputepipikku.
The nonsense, the short corners, a french gekijou....AND AOI SHOUTA IS BACK ??!?!?
Only the liveaction later half was a bit of a pain.

This is probably aimed at kids. That or it is making the same mistake as Poptepepeku where it is a ''shitposting'' anime.
Anyone knows what the last part of the ending song said? Google didn't really help.

I enjoyed both the first and second part and like both Kaede and Mieharu-san they're both cute, but unfortunately Meiharu-san lives alone until now and what's more he got food poisoned. Next episode will probably be Mieharu-san transported to another world.

I wonder if the Shouta Aoi of Gal to Kyouryuu has something to do with Shouta Aoi Pop Team Epic both also have the same outfit.

This was.. interesting lol. I liked how they mixed different animation styles and live action. Not sure if it'll hold up with such concept for 12 full-length episodes, though. Might get boring very quickly.

I thought this was gonna be different. I was expecting a weird but still cute ANIMATED show.

Unfortunately it suffers from the Pop Team Epic problem: they didn't have enough content for an entire episode so they basically repeated the same thing twice, only this time the second half is an out-of-place live action section starring an old dude instead of the cute girl! Also it was a weird mishmash of animation styles all broken up and I didn't really get any of it.

I'm sure other people will find the charm in this, but it's not worth my time

From the same team of Pop Team Epic, comes a weird and wacky story that's like said series mixing in similar situations with the half-anime, half-live action...only instead it's not half as good...or soon I thought.

The dinosaur...is that you Foster?

The anime, the gal...the live-action, Mieharu. Weirdly enough I liked the live-action part more than the cartoonish anime part. And Japan STILL uses flip phones...plus all those sound effects.

What a weird premiere...wondering if this route's the way going forward.

I feel a lot of people are giving this bad rep just because it didn't fit their "taste" but for how wacky and out there this show is it's pretty wholesome and funny (as well as meme-worthy lol)

Reminded me of Alf, you know, that old tv show. I think it was pretty watchable and cute at times but the live action part was unnecessary, especially the way it repeated everything so much. The shorter episode length could be beneficial for this kind of show too. I probably won't watch it, maybe 1 more episode just to see if they'll keep it up this way.

I'm...at a loss for words actually. I've never seen anything quite like this, but since I champion originality, I guess that's a good thing? Maybe? I dunno, just felt like I was trippin the whole time or somethin'.

Well, at least there's a cute gal!

Well... so that happened.

I thought the anime component was all right, a bit of humour to it... the clay animation was super boring and the LA was weird and horrible.

Well, this was... weird?

The mix of fun, failed and uneffective jokes and cute moments suffered from length and repetition. This should be made into (more varied) short-length episodes.

3/5 Dropped. I love dinosaurs, I love "gals" but this recipe proves too strong even for me.

The landlord in the live action part could start singing A Cruel Angel's Thesis any moment lol. It's the singer, Takahashi Youko. She also sings the ED here as Takahashi Ryuuko (高橋竜子). The kanji for ryuu in the name means dinosaur.

AOI SHOUTA IS BACK?! Didn't expect this until I saw this is made by the same studio as Pop Team Epic, and King Records is behind this too.

Funny you should say that, since Shoutan is in this one too! Does he plan to take over anime in live-action? xD

Hitoribotchan said:
Muse Asia also airing this one. So i try watching this show.

Looks random like Pop Team Epic but in calm tone.

Just wanted to say that Muse only has the anime portion, not the live-action portion. I personally liked the live action portion too (even a little more than the anime part, to be honest), but it's up to you if you want to watch it.

Seems like it to me. Feels like he'll pull some time travelling shenanigans again since the old man was in trouble. Guess we'll find out in the next episode.

By the way, Shoutan (and Mieharu) took pictures with the dino on the official Instagram account, if anyone's interested.

Anime is short for animation. Sadly half of this show wasn't Anime. I liked the different kinds of animation they had but live action doesn't belong in anime. It felt like they were just padding out time. I would of been fine if this anime was well done shorts instead of this. Let's just see where this goes. If the next episode keeps on with this it's a drop for me.

+1, I've read the manga and from how short each chapter is they should've just done a 3min episode series.

I was interested by the previews, and at the beginning it seemed like what I expected, just a cute slice of life. Then the episode kept going into the second half.

I'll wait and see what the second episode does, and I'll stick to just watching the first half if needed.

The live action bit was extremely wholesome, like we reached peak comfy. I think I liked that portion way more than I should've. The ED was cute too.

I wonder if they'll do a bait and switch and give us PTE instead.

honestly i really enjoyed this one, it really seems like a lot of effort was put into the animations, specially the in between bits. they feel like those short clips cartoon tv channels would play in between actual shows back in the day

yea the fact that half of this is a live action is kinda weird, but honestly i dont mind it, i mean its not animated but some lad had to wear that costume in public the whole day, gotta give him credit for that lmao. plus since its half and half its super easy to skip

Omg this was cute and funny as heck!! This exceeded my expectations!! It's so charming! Ahhh! <333

Except I see that MAL is already like 'Ohhh unknown duration time' probably because they don't want to include the on-animated parts as a part of the episodes which is still disrespectful in my opinion.

Personally, I think this is great. It's sort of an expansion on Pop Team Epic's formula - where the episode was the same two episodes, one with male seiyuus and one with female seiyuus. I think this format - one animated with the gyaru and one live action with the old man - is an interesting concept. It will allow them to do more skits with their 30-minute block rather than show the same episode twice with different voice actors. Whether or not these skits will wear out their welcome is what we have to find out later on.

I also ADORE that they are continuing to use alternative forms of media. Whether it's 2D, 3DCG, felt puppetry, live action, these interesting uses of media are definitely something I want to keep my eye on. I hope in the future more 3D-exclusive anime take a note from these Gal and Dino shorts, being highly stylized and cartoonish, I think that would work wonderfully for a kid's show.

Um...

so this series is pretty much, 10 mins of actual 2-part 4-koma anime

and 14 mins reenact of the anime as live action with a dude instead of actual Gal...

TBH... think I am gonna just skip this series. (I am here to watch anime, not live-action)

Now, if they had it as 20 mins of anime and 4 min of live-action, that I can live with.


___ ___ ___

Was wondering why some anime stream sites didn't have this series uploaded... since apparently some anime sites counts this as mostly live-action, so they don't upload it as anime.

Lol why people gave low ratings on this one? It's not like it's a story important anime, what did they expect?

And the anime kinda elevates some stuff from the manga which I like.
