Gal and Dino is a delightful little show with a strong main dynamic that it builds off of and makes for a fun time all around. Its a simple premise, a broke gyaru gets really drunk and then somehow brings home a dinosaur. Her and the Dino live together as basically roommates and we get to see their daily lives as Kaede (the gyaru) learns more about her strange new roomie. Its a very silly idea that makes for a surprisingly healthy and chill dynamic between the two and makes for a strong foundation for the show's stories to be told!
I think my favorite part about their relationship is how nonchalant Kaede is about all of this. She just treats Dino like any other person and tries to be considerate of them and understand what it likes. And Dino just kinda chillin in their apartment and learn…

Gal to Kyouryuu initially presents itself as a faithful adaptation of its manga counterpart: a series of relaxing animated shorts of a gyaru who met with and took home a dino. With the source material itself being rather short, it receiving a full-length adaptation (as opposed to a 5/10-minute short) is rather curious indeed. And at the halfway point, when the live-action segments begin, and you are greeted with Mieharu-san.
The second half of the show is a live-action segment that is incredibly surreal in nature with branching timelines, mysterious tomes, and weird celebrity guest cameos. It's also about a gyaru and her Dino (originally an old man and his Dino). While occasionally disjointed and strange, this incredibly surreal series still manages to tie into the main themes of the orig…

The (2nd) last of the COVID-delayed shows, AND REALLY, WHAT A DISASTER for this to be postponed, because this half-anime, half-live-action show is continuing director Jun Aoki's record at producing one-of-a-kind special and incomparable GOAT shows of the 21st Century (along with his studio Kamikaze Douga), with the cooperation from the same team that did Pop Team Epic over at Space Neko Company of hilarious short skits and stop-motion animations.
Based on Moriko Mori's short manga about a gal who accidentally picks up an unexplanable Dino and doing daily comedic slice-of-life elements, all you need to know is that these two really hit it out of the ballpark, and let those daily communions drive you nuts with the everyday lives of "Gal and Dino". You don't just watch this show for the gyar…

“Do you like funny anime? Do you like good jokes? Do you want to feel like you have spent your time well? Well, then I have some anime suggestions for you! Nichijou, Kill Me Baby, and Jashin-chan Dropkick. Gal to Kyouryuu, or Gal and Dinosaur, is not one of those anime.”
This is how I started my review of Gal and Dinosaur back in April of 2020, however, now I feel that this is too harsh and unnecessarily mean. Now, I didn’t have this sudden realization that Gal and Dinosaur is good, but it is above the 2/10 I was going to give it all those months ago. Quite a few of my opinions still hold firm, such as the humor and editing are akin to a C-tier modern Cartoon Network show than what many people think of as an anime. My opinions that changed were the story is fine instead of terrible, the a…

(You don't need a TLDR review for this GOAT, but it is there...)
Stop.
Stop everything.
I don't care if you are watching Attack On Titan Final Season
I don't care if you are hyped for My Hero Academia Season 5
I don't care if you are still waiting for NGNL Season 2 or Tokyo Ghoul Brotherhood (yeah it's not coming feelsbadman) Go watch Gal & Dino. Watch it NOW.
I have seen some amazing anime in my life. I simp for Madoka Magica. Pop Team Epic is based comedy humour and influential god. The Promised Neverland hit hard. But Gal & Dino, it's coming to the collection of top 10 anime MAPPA was too afraid to animate. Let's get into why Gal & Dino is intellectually and ingeniously stupendously good (legit was so good that I remembered stupendous was a word, bruh). In which, this review will a…
