Oshiete! Galko-chan

Here we are, another clash of Far-East vs West style.

Goal of the author is to show Galko is a Gyaru but common belief about this category is often misplaced.

Or, translated in western language, Galko is a "very pretty" Gyaru in appearance, but in reality she is as sensitive as any other girl and she is just trying to partially imitate her older sister.

Together with Otako and Ojou she makes the perfect trio of teenager friends which should not be taken so easily.

The discussions are mainly on those topics "which should not be told loud", so some people would consider them not appropriate for children below 14, however, in this anime there is no fan service at all (although many people will say that Galko is "sexualized character" because they just look at pictures and are not able to read / listen).

Actually it can be quite informative.

After watching it, I knew this series was an instant high school comedy favorite and an anime favorite of 2016. The anime is based on a manga (which I had never heard of before) about three improbable adolescent girlfriends who also have no formal names or surnames. They are just nicknamed Galko, Otako, and Ojou. The females come from various high school ranks, as you would call them. I've been a fan of high school-themed movies and television series since I was in eighth grade.

In any case, Galko is a popular "gyaru" (fashionista gal) who speaks sharply. Otako is an "otaku" (anime nerd) bookworm, and Ojou is a proper, rich girl who is somewhat of an airhead. Throughout the episodes, the three explore some filthy subjects and cope with their friendship. It has been a week since I finished the series, and admittedly, I don't know which character I like, but I'll say Otako because I am an "otaku" myself.

So anyway, I found the animation awesome and the story lighthearted and hilarious. And overall, I really love this anime series.
