Gokicha!! (original) (raw)
Synopsis
Gokicha is a small cockroach girl who has moved from Kanto to Hokkaido. She hopes the people in Hokkaido, who are less used to her kind, will become her friends. Despite her best intentions, however, she always seems to find herself on the bottom of someone's shoe or covered in insecticide. As Gokicha and her friend Chaba try to make it on the streets, it becomes apparent that the lives of cockroaches are full of peril.

Truly the best piece of work ever created by Japan, this is the peak, and they should've stopped after this as it only goes down from here. If you say there are anime that are better than this, look again because clearly, you're lying to yourself. If you don't have Gokicha or Chaba as your waifu, then are you even enjoying anime?
As for the anime itself, who needs eye-opening animations when you have cockroaches as girls? The character design on its own should be enough to satisfy most people. Sound? Amazing. Opening and ending themes are bangers.
Give it a watch, and you'll enjoy it thoroughly... and as for people who didn't, watch it again as clearly you didn't watch it correctly the first time.

This is a show which could have been really good, given the kind of care and funding other shows get. The premise is simple but easily enough to fill a twelve-episode series, as opposed to the short two episodes we got. The animation is janky and underproduced, but at its core all the problems being faced by this series are the result of factors outside of its control, which is oddly fitting given the theme.
The factors within its control are all well-done. The show manages to be emotionally heavy despite its brevity, and the main character is interesting and amicable. There's... room for a lot of ethical philosophy within the writing of the show which they seem keen on exploring. But inn the end we get only two episodes, so that's all.
All in all this was a good show hamstrung by its funding and the realities of corporate media manufacture.

As always my reveiw will be short and simple, much like this anime.
Gokicha!! Cockroach Girl! Is very short only 2 episodes at 8 minutes each, it is "ongoing" but episodes haven't been released in awhile so this anime might have died out.
The animation is extremely simple and almost made me stop watching, the few action scenes were looped or at least seemed that way, the characters rarely moved their mouths to speak.
I feel the basic idea behind the anime is great, viewing the world from from a cockroaches perspective was very interesting and kinda funny sometimes.
There doesn't seem to be a central story but since... it's only on episode two it's kinda soon to make that assumption.
I hope this anime will be continued at some point, despite its many flaws if they play their cards right I think this could be a hit for a niche group.
