NO SPOILERS
To be honest i picked up this show because i was in a mood to watch some echie scenes , i was very surprised that it leaned more towards to the slice of life genre .
Story
Funny talks between girls of different social groups and women problems (which i don't understand being a guy but funny and educational in a way).
Art
Nothing mind blowing but slightly above average. Character
though no character development at all.
This anime can be enjoyed as a slice of life anime though the Character designs are so misleading that it gives the Eche impression ( there are some scenes but mostly dirty jokes and legends about breasts)

At first glance I thought that this show was going to be the same as the one I've seen several times on Hanime. But I was wrong. Oshiete! Galko-chan was simply a fast-paced comedy show about a good-natured bitch and her friends.
It's a really funny show that lightened up my mood in 84 minutes. This anime doesn't really have a story. However, as a person who was bored 84 minutes ago. I find this show very helpful.
A simple anime with hilarious comedies that makes me laugh occasionally. I don't usually see things like this because I mainly watch anime for the story. But something like this can be very good at times. An anime where I can just unwind and enjoy the show without any worries.
Highly recommended to those who are bored.

Galko is not a bad show and I certainly enjoyed it. It was funny and broke taboo and sterotype alike! But I couldn't help but feel it was a little gaudy. The art style is varied and pretty, but it isn't put to stupendous use. The jokes, while kinda informative and wholesome, got stale after a bit. I think this is one of the better short anime out there, but nothing you can't pass on.
That being said, it is good to see shows willing to tackle a broader variety of topics including things that are usually hushed up as inappropriate. While the topics didn't really resound in me, I do find value in that this show was made and I hope others like it come along.
The friendship of the 3 girls is interesting, but doesn't evolve much until the last episode. I do like the way they end the series,…

I was watching this for the 2019 Anime Challenge while still a Novice as I found this series short to watch.
'Oshiete! Galko-chan' is a slice of life, comedy and school anime and you can expect what's it going to be about. I thought it would be a good way to kill time (While procrastinating) to watch this show. Actually, the teaser of this show caught my attention.
This anime is good for early teens as most of the characters portray them. This comedy series revolves around their nature and how they discover themselves. As a guy, there were few things I learnt about the opposite sex. Some Japanese culture is also shown.
The story is about a girl names Galko, a popular girl who is referred as a 'gyaru' and party animal despite being innocent. She is friends with Otako (Who is an otaku) and…

*Completed for the 2018 Anime Watching Challenge: (89) Watch an anime adapted from a Digital Manga*
Going into Galko-chan, I had zero expectations. I was expecting another mediocre slice of life anime. Thankfully, despite my incredibly low expectations, the show turned out to be pretty damn funny.
I think the primary reason the show works so well lies in the length of its episodes. One of the biggest problems with the slice of life genre is that trying to make mundane, everyday interactions entertaining enough to keep the audience's interest for 20 minutes is a difficult feat. With Galko, each episode is approximately 7 minutes, meaning that episodes don't get a chance to wear out their welcome.
Of course, this quick pacing isn't enough to carry a show, and for Galko-chan to succeed, it…

Overall - 5:
This anime is the kind of anime that looks good in gifs because the art and character design look good. The show, unfortunately doesn't live up to the expectations these gifs create.
Story - 4:
Nothing really special here, for the most part the mini stories aren't all that interesting.
Art - 7:
Like I said before, this show looks good. It's not trying to animate anything too complicated, a lot of it is pretty simple talking scenes, but it does a good job at making those scenes look good.
Sound - 4:
The soundtrack is boring, kinda like the show. The tracks fit well into the show, so this isn't rated too low, but there's nothing too good about the sound.
Characters - 7:
This is probably this show's strong suit. The characters each have their own little quirks that make them…

THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS
Okay, so looking at the top review of this anime made me laugh really hard because I've never seen such garbage.
Anyway. I enjoyed this anime, hence the high score. It's the kind of anime I wished I'd watched at a younger age, not because it's completely accurate (not completely, but it's close to what high school was like) but because it would have helped me understand something sooner. Something that is the very heart of this little anime.
Appearances don't matter and who you are perceived to don't matter either. It's up to YOU who you are and you don't have to be like anything - the one thing that you have in common is being a human in the same society and doing your own thing. If this anime promotes ANYTHING, it's that of individuality.
Sure it's g…

A show about a bunch of cute girls, who embody stereotypes, hanging out at school? Sounds boring!
But wait, they're all subversions of their own archetypes by being deliberately cliche on the surface, with unique personalities underneath? Oh great, another edgy deconstruction!
Fortunately, Oshiete Galko-chan isn't just another deconstruction of X genre; it plays the gimmick of each character being named after and seeming like one specific character archetype, while actually being deeper than they seem, but they aren't deliberately NOT those things, either. Otako is a shy otaku who reads a bunch of manga, but she's still an interesting person with her own tastes, who doesn't even see herself as an otaku, but rather someone interested in all kinds of books. Ojou is the prim-and-proper rich…

I'm gonna be honest: The moment I saw those tiddie graphics I thought this was gonna be cliche and it was gonna suck ass. I was wrong as hell
This show takes it's characters and bases them of of cliche tropes on first sight, going as far as naming them after their tropes. Then the shows SHITS ON THE TROPES. It writes it's characters like real ass people, who are more to the eye than their appearance. They have little quirks, backgrounds, experiences. They aren't just an idea of a character, they're presented as human. And, honestly it's amazing. It's some anime breakfast club shit
((also it breaks the norms that women's bodies have to be """""""perfect""""""""" in order to be beautiful))

When my sisters enter high school, there are things I'll want them to know, and there are anime I'll want them to watch. One of those is Madoka, because it's about giving yourself the power of happy endings. One of those is this show.
The girls on this show talk about their bodies. They talk about it lewdly, naming specific parts, but also honestly and realistically, in a way I would expect from highschoolers. They don't have big sit-down speeches with older family members about periods; they talk about breast size and water physics. They don't make fun of the size of those breasts, either-- the girls only mention it in good fun, and the boys point out their differing body types without putting them down about it; the worst they say about any of them is that they simply aren't their type.…

(This review has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)
When people look at me, they cannot believe that I love to listen to heavy metal.
The most recent disbelief actually came from someone close: my brother-in-law. We were talking about bands and music in general when I brought up Metallica, both my favorite heavy-metal band and my favorite music group ever. I rattled off some of my favorite songs – “Disposable Heroes,” “Blackened,” and so on – and he was taken aback at my adoration.
I don’t blame him for his surprise because, as an unassuming nerdy white guy, I don’t “appear to be” a fan of that kind of music. But that’s why we talk and listen to others in order to really understand them. In other words, interests, personality, and actions mean more than some jeans…

Hey folks, this will be a review for Oshiete! Galko-chan. You know when you have a craving for some food and then pig out on it until the thought of eating any more sickens you? That's what this show does to sexual interest.
The story is really straightforward. Three girls attend a high school class in which they will talk about something perverted. Generally they will be presented with a question like, "is it true that girls with larger boobs have larger areolas?". The girls will then discuss it as if it came up in natural conversation. Generally Otako uses the topic to pick on Galko, who in turn generally gets embarrassed and responds loud enough for her class to hear, rinse and repeat.
The characters are strange. Galko is a gyaru who is actually innocent and not perverted. Otako is a…

Reading some of the other reviews actually makes me wonder what the fuck even is this community that I'm a part of. But whatever, although the story is nonexistant and pretty much everything is average - 10/10 best anime ever! Saw only 1 episode :)
Nah, what I really mean is that this show is very average and not worth your time. The only enjoyment you could ever have from this is looking at some really awkward poses that the characters are drawn in for some reason. Then again - their soulless eyes will dry up your life energy, so maybe not the best idea.
I guess some 14 year old girls might relate to some of it, especially towards the end where they talk about how hard is dealing with first few years of menstruation. But everyone else will forget about the show in 5 minutes.

Review: Oshiete! Galko-chan
Story (4/10): This anime has no framework or a single plot to follow on but rather focuses on the daily lives of a gyaru, an otaku, and an airhead. However, the characters and their use of comedic relief in each episode is quite entertaining to watch. Each episode is episodic filled with humor of the female genitalia. The jokes were dirty and playful and every once and a while, a smirk or two came across my face when watching. Putting humor aside, each episode was amusingly very informative when learning about female genitalia. With humor mixed in with educational facts, those two factors is what this make this anime unique.
Art (8/10): The art is fresh. Colorful and eye-catching. From the quirky character designs and to the vivid animation, everything was don…

Girls talking about their bodies and it's has some comedic charm to it?
Oshiete! Galko-chan is an anime short mainly about Galko voiced by Azumi Waki the gyaru, Otako voiced by Miyu Tomita the otaku and Ojou...the ojou voiced by Minami Takahashi and they for the most part get into conversations about their bodies. Oddly enough this actually works as the three main cast members of the gyaru, otaku and ojou have somewhat "playing against the type" sterotypes of their sterotypes. Galko is actually shy and gets nervous when talking about ecchi things, Otaku is actually very talkative and teases Galko ALOT with comedic misunderstandings and Ojou is rather aloof and most of the time comedically missing the point.
The relationship between these three characters really do make this anime short w…

NOTE: This MAY contain spoilers!
Story 5/10: No plot. High school friends hanging out with each other.
Characters 6/10: No character development. But you get a sense of how they are and how they interact with each other. There are some funny and perverted/sexual moments of references. Galko is constantly late for class and laid back. She is known to have large assets. Ojou is kind, and bubbly. Otako is a bit monotone but chilled.
Overall enjoyment 5/10: It was okay. It can be boring at times, but in the beginning of the anime, they introduced some of the other characters and gives them a brief introduction. With an anime that doesn't have a lot to work with, it is less than 10 minutes. The questions that the anime asks in the beginning of each episode also makes the audience curious as…

I really like short anime because they are straight to the point.
This anime is just a time waster, and that isn't a bad thing. I really liked getting to know all of the characters in the series, even the perverted boys.
Galko is funny, and literally physical appearance goals! (but that's just me), and Otako is extremely relatable. She's snarky, smart, and cunning! And Ojou reminded me of Osaka from Azumanga Daioh.
Anyways, this anime is just a lot of fun. A great example of stereotypes, friendship, and even a bit of sex ed.
I recommend this anime to anyone wanting to just kill a half an hour or so, and see a bunch of cute girls so on cute adventures together!

Best described as "a nice little anime", with the focus on "little" due to episode length. The characters are pretty lovable, colorful and well thought out, but the lack of good comedy (and by that i mean stuff that actually make you laugh and not just smile or chuckle), story (and therefor its progression), relationships and romance as well as each episode being only a measly 7 minutes long kind of ruins it.
On top of it all there's more fanservice than the short episodes can or should be made to handle, but its mostly well placed so it doesn't stand out like a sore thumb as in some other titles. Best compared with "Seitokai Yakuindomo", this anime doesn't really hold its ground too well, still, its kind of fun and definitely worth a watch. 6.5/10

~Multilingual review, English & Español: Please tell me! Galko-chan~
Long enough to cover everything that need to be covered and short enough to be interesting, that's the 'mini-skirt rule', and this anime follows it perfectly. However you're still behind a school's desk, or you already left them far behind in your past, I'm pretty sure you all overhead, at least once, a "girl's talk" your slutty girl-classmates did. Leaving aside the disappointment developed when you find out your crush wasn't as pure as you thought, it was sure an embarrassing moment overall.
I once overhead my girls classmates talk about how big a famous singer's genitals were, what would they do with both him and his boyfriend (yes, you read right), among few other things I'd have wished to never hear. That particula…

Absolutely loved it! Perhaps one of the best underrated shows of winter season, Galko-chan totally came out and dominated the other shorts this season.
Now, Oshiete! Galko-chan isn't as wild other shows that discuss boobs, sex, etc and I think that works out fine because with Galko-chan it has a more natural feel to it. None of the episodes feels like its' going to be too over the top or just plain ridiculous, although it does have it moments of course.
Story/Plot- 7.5/10
Honestly, the show really doesn't have much to offer in story/plot. I mean everything is explained in the intro song so you pretty much get the idea of what the story is right then and there.
Art -7.5/10
