Story 9/10
There is no real story, as each episode sets itself with a brand new story. In general, every story each story works for me. They all begin with explaining either a stupidly funny premise, or even a premise based off Japanese history. The pacing of the show is fast, but it is done in a way so everything is coherent. It manages to nail all the jokes in, while making a good complete beginning to end for each story.
Art 8/10
The art is just all over the place, overall bizarre. I really like that, as it can show visual gags in different art forms, and allows different funny ways to show character interactions. Though of course, sometimes the art is a bit weird to look at, and sometimes looks kind of ugly, or even lazy. Though I should expect that considering the nature of the anime…

Story
-Plot is jumbled. Your not talking about one story's adventure but mini separate stories.
-Introduction was quick and to the point.
-Humor used was in a way bizarre. Thus takes a few episodes to grasp it.
-conclusion wasn't disappointing nor great for like i said mini stories. With mini stories it is great to keep you interested for its like buying several anime in a bundle but there is no big suspense to look forward to.
-credit endings were almost always different. Which beats having to look at the same thing.
-endings or sum-ups of jokes were in a way predictable thus ruined some of the comedy. Art
-artwork had real images. Plus some artwork/animation looked second rate. Not the best or worst artwork around.
-camera angels went all over the place. With…

Gyagu manga byori is a journey. About absolutely nothing. I could honestly write a review about garlic chicken spring rolls here, and it would be about as thorough as any review about this anime. Thats how nothing this anime is. And I enjoyed every minute of it. The episodes are like all really short so you can blast through the series in like an hour, but thats not the point here. The point here is just to relish in the absolute nothing that it is and take each episode like the individual journey of pointless that it is. Also theres a bear thats a pervert that enjoys stealing girls swimsuits. 9/10.

Gagyu Manga Biyori is one of those comedy sketch shows based on the manga of the same name. Set out in short five minute episodes they set out to try to make u laugh by showing you crude drawings silly parodies and anything else in between. Being a super short anime the comedy hits you fast and hard. You'll either get it or you dont. And its painstakingly obvious that they care more about the punchline over the artwork. But then would you care of what you drew if it was a short 5 minute skit of nothing but japanese slapstick?
The art work looks like it was done by an elementary student its so crude. The art is so bad its a comedy in itself. But it does get the point across. Theres nothing much else to say about the art here. Well if there was something that was good about the art was that…

Gyagu Manga Biyori is a collection of off the wall short clips that manage to present some of the strangest and most hilarious stories ever conceived within a five minute running time--hell, sometimes they even manage to fit two plots into one episode. This length attempts to ensure that things remain frantic, fast-paced and fun, which Gyagu Manga Biyori is for the most part. This series has a critical flaw however: for every gut-buster of an episode, there exists a five minute dud to act as a counterweight, leading to a very uneven watching experience as a whole.
Despite its mixed results, Gyagu Manga Biyori deserves plenty of praise for its bold and absurd brand of humor. This series does its share of parodies and relies on some comic standbys, but beyond that, GMB presents situations t…
