Gal and Dinosaur is an upcoming anime directed by Jun Aoki of Pop Team Epic fame about a gal and a dinosaur living together. It's quite cute.

It will also be accompanied by a live-action adaptation written by Kotaro Sudo.

Both will be sharing the same time slot and premiering April 4.

On an additional note: Kodansha recently licensed the manga as My Roomie is a Dino, and has the first volume available digitally and the first chapter free to read. https://kodanshacomics.com/series/my-roomie-is-a-dino/

Probably referencing t-rex na kanojo If I had to guess, it's cute and dumb and suitably silly. I love the quick and goofy timeline of how dinosaurs came to take part in the modern day

Funimation will be subbing (and presumably dubbing) the anime, fyi.

Well, they won't be simuldubbing it since all simuldub production is on hiatus. But eventually.

E: They also confirm that they'll be subbing the live action portion.

A pretty relaxing read with some fun art in any case!

I sincerely hope they never ever try to explain the dinosaur's existence in modern Japan. No alternate world stuff, no time shenanigans, there's just a dinosaur and that's all there is to it.

From what I've read of the manga, that's what they do. Everyone just rolls with it, as if a dinosaur suddenly moving in is something that occasionally happens. Not impossible, just unusual.

The most we get is a lampshade in Dinosaur's little character profile in the magazine chapters: "Archosaur. Should have been extinct a long time ago".

I hope they go through an entire soundbank just giving noises to the live action dino.

Also I love the OP and ED.

Live action half lines up with what I'd expect from the Pop Team Epic gang. Wouldn't be surprised if they got an AC-Bu segment at some point.

Edit: Just realized they got the French artist from the Pop Team Epic shorts to do the second stop motion bit, that's great :kimchi:

I was convinced of this the second I saw the OP.

It makes me wonder if they got the same team together cause I'm pretty sure the PTE music video guys did the ED.

Oh definitely they are getting the same teams to work on this. Just off a glance of names I recognize, Uchu People did the music videos for PTE and did the ending for this as well, and Thibault Tresca, the French animator who did the segments that were complaining about France, is also doing stuff for this.
