Oshiete! Galko-chan

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-- thegirls 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. These girls also break their archetypes. The "party girl" can be an utter otaku, the nerd can have fun teasing her friends, and the percieved airhead can have lots of hobbies. And, all of these girls can be friends without a clear explanation-- they're just in close proximity and get along, and that's how so many friendships start.

~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 particular event was engraved in my mind so whenever I listen to the word "girl's talk" that unpleasant memory comes to my mind giving me shivers down my spine. Anyway.. Even if the girls in Anime doesn't represent exactly real high school girls (fortunately), 'Please Tell me! Galko-chan' is one of those few anime who gets closer and manages to recreate a genuine girl's talk while leaving aside how disgusting could turn out to be.. if the girls were to be my classmates, that's it. Fortunately our protagonists are adorable, simple innocent girls and the arguments of such talks, a bit "stimulating" whiteout reaching plain vulgarity, turn out to be interesting and cute at the same time due to the girls reactions when they get embarrassed even by their own conversations, even pushing the viewers to ask themselves 'How will they react to this?'. The anime develops around 3 kind of stereotypes of High School girls. The 'gyaru', Galko-chan, a busty fashionable blonde girl which surprisingly is, contrary to her looks and behavior, a very kind and inexperienced innocent girl. The 'otaku', Otako, a small girl with glasses who likes to tease Galko with suggestive questions and arguments, with the risk of ending flustered herself sometimes, however she cares about Galko a lot. The 'princess', Oujou, a total airhead rich girl which hangs out often with the previous two ones. There are also minor characters, don't forget the anime develops mainly inside a classroom, they didn't shine that much but their presence really give off a genuine "classroom environment". When I mentioned the 'mini-skirt rule' it was referred to the episode's duration, 7 minutes each one. I found the duration quite on mark, short enough to be interesting whiteout the risk of being boring. That was the main quality of this show. I really liked the characters, specially Galko, and how the main cast argued about such suggestive themes with such cute tones, it turned out to be really nice and refreshing. If you're searching for a short anime, maybe with nice girls and lot of humor, you can hardly find any better than this. [Español] Larga suficiente para cubrir todo lo que tenga que ser cubierto, y corta, suficiente para ser interesante, esa es la 'regla de la mini-falda', y este anime la sigue a la perfección. Independientemente de que si todavía te encuentras detrás de un pupitre escolar, o los dejaste ya atrás en el pasado, estoy bastante seguro que, al menos una vez, has escuchado por casualidad una 'charla de chicas' que hicieron tus -no tan inocentes- compañeras. Dejando al lado la decepción al descubrir que tú amorío no era tan "pura" como pensabas, fue de verdad un momento vergonzoso. Una vez escuché hablar a mis compañeras sobre cuánto grande eran los genitales de un famoso cantante, que cosa le harían a él y a su novio (sí, leíste bien), entre otras cosas que desearía nunca haber escuchado. El particular momento se imprimió en mi mente, así que todas las veces que escucho 'charla de chicas', ese desagradable recuerdo revive dándome escalofríos por todo el cuerpo. De todos modos.. Aunque si las chicas en el Anime están bastante lejos de representar exactamente con perfecta afinidad el modelo de chicas en el mundo real (afortunadamente), 'Please tell me! Galko-chan' es uno de los pocos que realmente se avecina y que logra recrear una genuina 'charla de chicas' dejando a un lado cuán desagradable pueden llegar a ser... Si las chicas en cuestión son como mis compañeras de clase, eso sí. Por suerte nuestras protagonistas son simples e inocentes chicas, y los argumentos de tales charlas, algo "estimulantes" pero sin rozar la vacía vulgaridad, llegan a ser interesantes y adorables al mismo tiempo debido a las reacciones de las chicas cuando se avergüenza hasta de sus propias conversaciones, empujando al espectador a preguntarse 'Y ahora cómo reaccionarán a esto?'. El anime de desarrolla al rededor de 3 clases de estereotipos de chicas. La 'gyaru', Galko-chan, una chica rubia, siempre a la moda, y con dos buenos melones qué sorprendentemente, contrario a su vestuario y comportamiento, es bastante inocente y amable. La 'otaku', Otako, una chica con lentes de pequeñas proporciones que le encanta molestar a Galko con preguntas y argumentos sugestivos, aunque si a veces corre el riesgo de quedar avergonzada ella misma. La 'princesa', Oujou, una cabeza hueca total que se junta siempre con las otras dos. Están presentes también algunos personajes menores, sin olvidar que este anime se desarrolla principalmente adentro de un salón de clases, aunque si no brillaron de modo particular, la presencia de estos personajes le dieron un aire genuino de ambiente escolar a la serie. Cuando mencione la 'regla de la mini-falda' estaba referido a la duración de cada episodio, 7 minutos cada uno. La encontré de verdad acertada, corta suficiente para ser interesante, y sin el riesgo de caer aburrida. Esa fue la mejor cualidad de este anime. Me gustaron bastante los personajes, especialmente Galko, y también como las chicas protagonistas afrontaban los sugestivos temas con tan adorables tonos, al final se revelo ser bastante refrescante. Si estás en busca de algo corto, tal vez con lindas chicas y mucho humor, difícilmente encontrarás algo mejor que esto.

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. Butsomething 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.

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. Iguess 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.
