Preliminary (3/12 eps)
Ever wanted to watch something animated while also having live action elements? No? Because that sounds horrible? Well, Gal to Kyouryuu is for you! It's an unholy mix of live action, stop motion, and animation all done horribly wrong. Wondered what a unmemorable 5 minute 4-koma manga translated into a full 12 episode 24 minute production? This is it.
This show really puts needlessly long segments of "stillness" due to I guess, their lack of budget. It's extremely slow paced, and any sort of jokes that could have been funny are destroyed by the terrible pacing. Not to mention, the simplicity of all the gags and the lack of characters, to say the least, make it so that if the execution of these simple setups are done properly, there's nothing else for the viewer to latch onto. The show has simple contents, but if executed well, it goes great. If not, then, there's not much to talk about. Unfortunately, the skits and gags are barely passable, and when there's nothing else redeeming or focused upon in this show, it becomes real chore to watch.. This is extremely evident in the CG and animation. One minute jokes get turned into 5 minutes worth. And that's the episode.
Look, I'm not going to even comment much on the live action portions. I am not familiar with JP live action, because I don't like it Ok? However, do trust me when I say that the production value of the live action portions are poor to say the least.
This show just puts stuff of pure mediocrity together to mash up 12 episodes of pure nonsense. If there was any coherence or effort to combine these elements into one, the whole might have been greater than the parts. This is not the case for Gal to Kyouryuu.
