----------------------------------------
Just finished watching. It's about 8 minutes long. It is hard to think about a cute anthropomorphized cockroach but the episode was ok. I did like how they had regular cockroaches too.

That was really cute, though a bit unusual. Poor Gokicha ;w;

If real cockroaches looked like this instead of the ones like the hairy-legged garbage groupies Gokicha chased away, then I wouldn't be so inclined to want to exterminate them from existence.

Hi, I have not seen this yet.
I have no idea what I'm getting in to.
And here is how my chain of though went, to be preserved for a more knowledgeable me:

[sees the title Gotchika Cockroach Girl]
(Squid girl worked, now this? Why would they make something like this?)
"This is gonna bite. So hard. That if I watch more than a split second I'm going to rot from the inside out, aren't I?"

Alas many years ago I stood on the precipice of Katawa Shojo and said; "This is going to hurt, and I'm not going to sleep tonight if I press that new game button. *click*...."
Well that ended well enough.
Anyway, to the me 30 minutes or so from now: I'm sorry I put you through this...or maybe, just maybe I'm not.
I go by many names, some call me Hoshimaru, others call me Jiro or Aosou-Kun.
I believe myself a force for good, a papercrafter by trade, and one who seeks love and beauty animesque.

Speaking as someone who has to deal with cockroaches right now thanks to trashy neighbors... what just happened? Why did this still turn out cute with my current elevated prejudice against the hateful critters? Damn you anthropomorphism. If this isn't a sterling example of its mind control properties I don't know what is. Damn you Cratex for bringing me into this mess.

I think both OP and ED are sung by her, actually.

And yes, a show about moe-ified cockroaches. And it works. Even the guy couldn't resist Gokicha's cute face, apparently.

I wouldn't loose sleep over it. (as if I'm an objective, non-partial observer)

Well, I took it to be an anime about a really cute, desperately lonely and abused creature trying to avoid being squished by uncaring psychopaths. It's all about perspective. who's side do you see the issue from? (Really Evil Grin)

How is it actually possible for a bug to survive so long after what she has been through
and just now could that guy see that cockroach girl as a girl....
the other cockroaches didn't look like human O.o.
I liked the ending

Cockroaches have a reputation for toughness. They have a high tolerance for toxins (including radiation) and their hard shells protect them from significant force (ie, swatting them with a rolled up newspaper is often not enough).
