Oh my god wtf was that, it's so random and lot of live action, it looks more like a huge prank or shitpost than an anime, it was hilarious

That was interesting to say the least. I wonder if they will keep it up like that? Not sure if this can actually entertain me for multiple episodes if they do. I definitely felt pranked but I did like it.

Well, it's not that surprising after I found out that the studio behind it is the one who bring us Pop Team Epic. But I found it interesting though, I don't know why.

Weird, it looks like the la is the concept piece, the man having replace the gyaru/gal seems to have been done for comedic use.

I found it wholesome but also kind of bad for the repetitive story. The anime/cuter parts of the episode is 7/10. The LA is 6/10 with a feeling like its making fun of the anime girl character type.

I found the hair strands gross, that was probably to much immersion. Overall the show, I think it could be a 7/10 or 6/10 at the moment it could go to a 8 but depending in how this goes it could go to a 5 for me. I wont rate this show till I have seen 3 episodes.

I dunno what to say tbh... but as for now it was pretty fun and adorable + 1 extra point for being so unconventional xD all the positivity was in regards to the first half of the episode

Thought it would be a short, but I take it.

Maybe if the live action had a gal, otherwise this should be called Dinosaur and old man <_<

Pop Team Epic was the first thing I thought of when watching this and yeah looks like I barely made it through one episode of both.

I had fun! Not sure if this show can keep my interest for 12 episodes (maybe it would've been better as a short, like 12 minutes per ep at most) but I'll keep watching for now. The dinosaur is really quite charming.

Nice that the setup is vaguely like Kobayashi-san chi no Maid Dragon, but seriously warped.

The Dino looks like something taken right out of Foster's home for Imaginary Friends.

That was absolutely wacky. Very Japanese early 80’s material.

I liked it BECAUSE it used multiple media styles. Drama, stop motion, traditional 3DCG. Pretty decent for almost no real plot. Well I guess they were essentially shorts.

Animation looks super cheap, but nonetheless it was mildly interesting.
The live action half is probably skippable.
I mean, knowing MAL's record it won't even be put into consideration in the episodes lenght.

yeah honestly i was interested in the art but decided to not look into it till the anime airs, but i couldn't get through the first episode. personally i think it would be more funny/entertaining if Dino didn't have emotions and he was just going through life with Kaede. looking at him react to things is a bit weird and i don't find it funny. the art in the manga is nice to look at, but the anime is really colorful and it's bothersome (also it looks cheaply made most of the time). honestly looking at this first episode i feel like the manga is the best option to experience this

Why is Kyouryuu so relatable? Is it just me?? I hope they up the randomness and it doesn't just become some slice of life skit-type show. With a premise like this it would do alot better trying to be excessive.

I liked the first 10minutes... then the boredom came...

This is like a Poop Team Epic....

Is sad, cause i had a few hopes in this "anime"...but maybe in the 2nd ep i will end dropping it.

It would have been a normal slice of life comedy with an dinosaur and show to prove this studio can do normal stuff too. But the director said nope it have to be random like Pop Team Epic which works with that show because it's already random and bizarre.

it is because of stuff like this that people think that the Japanese are kind of weird.
it is boring but it is charming in a weird way...
anyway, the best way of enjoying this is by watching it at 1.25 speed. it will eliminate some of the weird spacing between dialogue.
Unfortunately I won't be watching any more of this.

I went to the anime site and saw it (never heard of it before) and immediately watched it. I thought there would be more of the gal. The old guy was funny, but I was expecting to get back to the gal any minute and they just... didn't.

The show made me laugh. I've been watching scary stuff for days and I liked seeing a man in a goofy blue dinosaur costume.

Another thing: it seems made for people whose attention span is short because it was fried by Vine compilation videos. Worked for me.

It reminded me of the Poo-tan show in Cromartie High School, and of course, Pop Team Epic.

Why is this 23 minutes long?
Why did I watch all of it?
Why is it so well made?
Why is half of it live-action?
Is this even anime?
Is the dinosaur actually a dino or is it a person in a costume?
What was with all those airhorns?
Is this a cup noodle commercial?

I am confused but strangely interested enough to watch more.

Easily AOTS, I'm not even joking.
Who are you and why do you show your hostility towards a complete stranger whom you've not once spoken with before. Are you seriously asking to get blocked? Well, if that's what your intent is; to tempt me into throwing hands with someone as lowly and insignificant as you, then i may grant your wish provided you articulate yourself a bit better when trying to spite a person of my wavelength.

I like how this series is so relatable and dealing with everyday situations that can happen to any of us who has a blue dino living with them. And that dude in the second part of the episode behaved like every japanese guy would in a similar situation... I think I should drop it - I am too old for this shit.

I'm pretty conflicted about this. It was pretty amusing and cute, I'll give it that. The live action bit caught me a bit off guard but I actually thought it was pretty funny. Although I will say it seemed to drag on a bit, it probably would've been funnier if it was just a small ongoing gag, that didn't span for more than half of the episode.
I'll probably watch another episode of it just to see if it can find its footing, and hopefully reach a nice balance.
