Review of My First Girlfriend is a Gal

"P.T. Barnum was right."--Commander Lyle Tiberius Rourke, "Atlantis the Lost Empire" It's the relative popularity of anime like this that remind me that far too many anime fans are too young to be watching a lot of this medium. Either that, or there truly is a sucker born every minute. In today's world, though, that would be every second. Why did I watch this? Seriously, WHY DID I WATCH THIS???? The waifus looked hot. Yep, that's it. Even my prematurely-balding, pseudo-intellectual, logic-addicted head can sometimes Return to Monke and just want to laugh at a hopelessly dimwitted protagonist desperately try to get the attention of a girl milesout of his league. But this isn't your typical mildly enjoyable rom-com with a few big laughs that is ultimately forgettable. This is more along the lines of terribleness of my most hated anime that I can't forget just because of its huge wasted potential and a few top-tier waifus who were just killed to clumsily wrap up an already terrible series.

You can't forget it BECAUSE its so bad. There are some much better reviews you can look at (and I need to get to bed) to examine every problem in detail, but the best way I can summarize this series is a result of multiple focus groups and charts.

"Most teens feel like losers? Being a virgin is looked down on? (Despite STD's and unwanted pregnancies being a legitimate reason to abstain. And just waiting until you're an actual adult who has self-control!) Make a series about a pervert loser desperate to lose his virginity! The kids will really connect with that!"

Evidently the producers were right, because I'm almost laughing at this reasonably high score the show has and it's decent popularity. It's basically about mocking virgins and trying to make pedophiles funny while attempting to cobble together some shallow story about maturity that it doesn't even understand itself.

I embrace my virginity and am proud of it! I don't need no wife when I've got my Polish twin tail waifu! *cough* I need to find a girl who likes anime. . . .

Note to future self: Don't watch a show because the lead girls have huge bazonkers. It's probably going to be another 1 on your Anime List.
