Review of My First Girlfriend is a Gal

I watched every episode of this and my oh my was it a thing it was so much of a thing that I just had to make it my first review so for those curious what are my thoughts on Hajimete No Gal? Story: The story is pretty simple guy meets girl that he wants to date because he's under the presumption that she's an easy lay because of how she dresses because yeah he's a shallow loser that learns that looks can be deceiving in essence what you end up with is a coming of age-ish ecchi romantic comedy with a lot of situational humor thathas punch lines you can see from a mile away.

3/10

Art:

The character designs aren't the worst you'll ever see each one of the main characters looks different enough from one another to be able to tell all of them apart but even with that in mind you end up with characters like Nene Fujinoki who's maybe the most terribly disproportionate thing I'd ever seen her bust size while responsible for maybe the best joke in the whole show is way to much and will lead to you noticing just how awful a lot of the other female characters silhouettes are.

4/10

Sound:

EH it had no memorable music but at the same time the karaoke scenes were charming.

Character:

I will say I've looked at a host of online discussion in regards to the main male protagonist and while I didn't find the male lead to be as bad as I've heard I do have to say he's just kind of the typical dork out of place finding out what this whole romance thing is.

The main female lead Yukana Yame I actually enjoyed her for the most part she was charming at points and seemed to not be the shallow eye candy I initially expected.

This show's cast for the most part wasn't too bad they all had decent moments here and there and filled their respective rolls in moving the plot along nicely with the only exception being Minoru Kobayakawa who....well....I'm not going into details here but I will say that if you are sensitive towards humor relating to topics like Pedophilia he'll be the single biggest deterrent from this show because while he has moments of not being for lack of a better term human trash and he's responsible for my favorite joke....he's also a pedophile and the other characters of the show using that against him just makes every moment he's on screen very discomforting.

6/10

Enjoyment:

This show in all honesty is pretty damn awful but it's so awful that you derive some awkward bit of pleasure just from how bad it all really is and in that sense you actually find it to be an enjoyable thing it's truly so bad it's good in this sense and while I wouldn't ever claim it to be the anime equivalent of Plan 9 from outer space it's still fundamentally that level of bad just minus the desire to ever re-watch it.

8/10

Overall:

To sum it up this show is steaming hot garbage but it's enjoyable garbage that if you want a wildly inappropriate ecchi comedy to watch in between something that's maybe on the emotionally draining side this will work but I very much don't advise you have any expectations of finding anything good when it comes to this show.
