Please tell me! Galko-chan (おしえて！ギャル子ちゃん) is a 12 episode comedy based on the manga of the same name by Suzuki Kenya. The series originally aired in the winter of 2016.
Galko is a fun loving, air headed and promiscuous looking gyaru. The series of shorts details random conversations with her best friends; the book otaku Otako and the proper rich girl, Ojo, along with the rest of her high school class. Such topics as what the size of someones breasts represent and how slutty girls behave outside of school. Galko my look loose but she's really a sensitive and private girl who loves flashy fashion. Her attitude and appearance makes her the target of unwarranted suspicions from those around her.
For a cheap and raunchy sporadic comedy this short anime was actually rather enjoyable. There is little substance in the show and the dialogue is humorous if somewhat outrageous. It's more like a candid snap shot at the dumb stuff high school kids think about. The character designs are over the top and everyone's reactions are extreme but that adds to part of the shows charm. It's a good dose of brainless and innocent/adult humor. I was actually surprised with how well I enjoyed this show that seems like a exploitative waste of time in the beginning. The final episode, where it explains how the three girls joined forces was really well done and unexpected given the flow of everything before it. Almost made me sad to say good bye the show and wished more of it was done in that fashion. But, its a pointless comedy about dumb conversations that was entertaining if nothing else.
Don't expect a disc release, the manga is available though by Seaven Seas Entertainment. The show is currently available on Crunchyroll.
