“Is it true that people with big boobs have big aerola, as well?” Oshiete! Galko-chan attempts to anwer that deep, philosophical question and many more…
Anime
Oshiete! Galko-chan is a new 8-minute anime short airing this season.
It’s adapated from the manga of the same name. What’s interesting about the manga is that it seems to be full color and ecchi. Nice….
You can check out the PV below:
Here’s a plot summary from ANN:
Galko, Otako, Ojō are a “gal,” an otaku, and a proper lady, respectively, and are also good friends. The three high school girls with different perspectives discuss the kinds of secrets you can’t tell boys.
Common tags: comedy, school, slice-of-life
This anime short on running time but long on girl-talk humor. If you want to get an idea of the kind of jokes you will find in Galko-chan, just look for snapshots with subs for each episode. The tagline quote at the beginning was from a subtitle (?) card from episode 01.
But can girl-talk humor be ecchi as well? Let’s find out in this fanservice review.
Character Art
You can find official character art on the official page here. I don’t usually include character art in my reviews but some sexy outfits and swimwear gives hope for fanservice in future episodes of the anime. I only included the sexiest and cutest outfits for the girls in this gallery. The DFC swimsuits are pretty darn skimpy. Wonder if that will show up in the anime???
Episode 01
Episode 01 sets the tone with the girl-talk humor. Launching into jokes about big boobs, pubic hair, and butts. Just having fun between girls… Even if they run the visual of Galko sitting down at her desk into the ground. Nice visual though. Just wish it was more ecchi.
Stitches
It’s been a while since I’ve had so much intentional breakage while making stitches. Just too much FX in the background that is changing too much. But some of those stitches turned out nicely including this one.
Forehead girls with glasses are just so sexy…
She’s not a small girl, but that’s still a fine ass…
Snapshots
Don’t need to add much here. The subs speak for themselves… 😉

Episode 02
Episode 02 has more girl-talk humor about the color of panties, tampon jokes, non-virgins and pregnancy. But more importantly – panty shots! One for each of the main girls. Just wish there were more. But I was able to make a nice stitch for each panty shot.
I usually cap the OP & ED in episode 02 but the ED had nothing of interest and the OP is 100% vignetted and seems to be 100% recap from past and future episodes so I didn’t cap that either. But after I looked again, there are some hot pants, swimsuits and girls holding panties. Will try to include those in a later review.
Stitches
Panty shots. Guess which girl is seen a “pure”, “childish” and “slut”. Shouldn’t be too hard…
This boys really do need to have more ecchi in their imaginations though. Don’t most high school boys???
Snapshots
Once again, do read the subs…
Galko-chan’s boobs are oversized to say the least… Check out the video too.

Episode 03
Episode 03 girl-talk humor touches on the color of nipples, big boobs and inverted nipples. More importantly we get to see some nice Galko-chan cleavage plus some partial bare boob and self-groping. Fun stuff. Just wish we could have seen more…
Stitches
Galko-chan’s stay-at-home-sick wear is just so darn sexy…. What nice cleavage….

Videos
Do check out the videos with Galko-chan showing some skin. Fun stuff.
Official Art
Not much official art so far but seems some sexy products are planned including an official daki! Nice. Too bad I couldn’t find any HD images of the daki. But what a nice big butt, Galko-chan has and that’s in official artwork too. More official artwork like that please.
Fan Art
There was more fan art for Galko-chan than I expected. Most of it seems to be for the manga and not the anime. Yet. Still some nice pieces. Enjoy…
Thoughts
Yet another anime show that is not for everybody. Comedy is binary. You either find it funny or you don’t. There is little to no middle ground when it comes to comedy. Galko-chan is first and foremost a comedy about girls talking girl humor to other girls. Some jokes guys may not find funny but some can be very funny. YMMV.
Also the color palette is not for everybody. It’s intentionally very garish since Galko-chan is supposed to be a kogal (Valley Girl) kind of girl. Again, YMMV.
Plus a lot of the ecchi is verbal rather than visual. Yep, YMMV.
I wasn’t going to review this show at first even though I found it ecchi in an amusing kind of way and there were panty shots in episode 02. Then some skin showed up in episode 03. Not much but some very attractive skin. That and some encouraging signs such as the source material being ecchi and official artwork and products that could be ecchi as well.
Will there be nudity on the BDs? I really doubt it. The odds seem way too low. First it’s a comedy then it’s an anime short. The anime is probably an advertisement for the manga more than anything else and the creators may be expecting fans buy the manga for ecchi. Also keep in mind that the ecchi in this show is more verbal than visual. But there are small signs that anime could be more ecchi in the future, so here’s hoping that we will get more ecchi visuals in future episodes at least…
Notes
Sorry about the black borders for snapshots and videos That’s from the fansub that I used which was the best video quality I could find at the time. I left the borders in for the snapshots and videos but cropped them out for the stitches.
You can find the full version of the cover image for this article here. It was one of the HD image stitches that I made for episode 02.
Not all of my HD WebMs were included. You can find my albums here: 01, 02 and 03..
