Gal & Dino

Aired: 2020

A TV anime produced by Space Neko Company and Kamikaze Douga, based on the manga by Moriko Mori (story) and Kota Tomimura (art) serialized in Kodansha's Weekly Young Magazine. A surreal comedy where a gal named Kaede drunkenly brings home a dinosaur and starts living together. Despite the language barrier, the dinosaur oddly adapts to human society, and their laid-back daily life unfolds. The show features an unusual format with anime in the A-part and live-action in the B-part, featuring a life-sized dinosaur costume. Episodes 8 onward were delayed due to COVID-19, resuming broadcast in October 2020. 12 episodes. Directed by Jun Aoki, animation director Shigeyoshi Tsukahara. Main cast: Miyuri Shimabukuro as Kaede, Yuko Natsuyoshi as Yamada, Yuki Kudo as Senpai, Seiichirou Yamashita as Shota. ©Moriko Mori, Kota Tomimura, Kodansha/Gal & Dino Production Committee
