The studio censored the ecchi from an ecchi anime lol. This must be one of the stupidest decisions I’ve ever seen i suppose they did it because they thought that way the anime would reach a wider audience (as if My Dress-Up Darling didn’t exist).

They even removed a reference to Shokugeki no Soma another legendary ecchi manga. I highly recommend reading the manga since, besides not being censored, Ikada Kai’s art is very good and has nothing to envy of the anime style.

In an anime where the main attraction is seeing beautiful girls,they simply cannot cut shots and scenes that show the girls’ sensuality. ... It’s stupid in every sense

Weak. Just weak. You have a blonde gyaru with a funny accent, that should already be a massive win, so I don't understand how it's possible to mess this up this badly, but here it is.

The whole show is like a broken record. Guy meets up with gyaru, they eat something, "UMAAAAAAAAA~~!", guy gets embarrassed, the end. This is every single episode of this show. If you ever had the feeling anime (especially slice of life) is running off of a template, this will amplify that feeling 10x, except the template is only 1 page long.

It's just a waste of time and that's coming from ... the guy who's very easy to please with just "haha funny booba sound effect" moments. It's not thought provoking, it's not cute (enough), no CGDCT, it's not even lewd, it does not even have comfy feel-good moments that any slice of life should have. The most you get out of this anime is one snippet worthy scene with the gyaru's mom. Otherwise it's so repetitive it gets annoying.

For a romance anime with such unique potential centered around the theme of 'gyarus,' this one falls disappointingly short. Initially excited by its announcement, my enthusiasm quickly waned after just a few episodes.

The protagonist fits the typical simp archetype, blushing after every few sentences for some unknown reason. Despite the main attraction being gyarus, their presence is hardly emphasized. Apart from the main girl and her mom, who embody the gyaru style, the rest of the characters seem to forget their gyaru identities right after their introduction.
Additionally, I noticed inconsistencies in the animation, particularly in character design, with frequent mishaps in depicting details like the ... spacing and angle of the eyes. In comparison, "Sono Bisque Doll" showcased a much more consistent animation style. Furthermore, the anime lacks the vibrant color palette I anticipated.
The pacing also feels disjointed and poorly thought out, with characters' reactions to certain situations often feeling off. There are moments where jealousy should be evident, yet characters quickly brush it aside and revert to being friendly. Not to mention, the way characters initiate friendships and develop feelings for the protagonist feels rushed and veeeery unconvincing.

All in all, I personally love gyarus, I believe they're a character type that's not introduced nearly enough even in anime. But overall, this anime in particular is a mishmash of disappointment, balled up and wrapped in cringe. The humor falls flat, it fails to highlight or even remember its main attraction; which is a 'gyaru harem' , and this raises significant concerns about its direction.

"Hokkaido gals are super adorable" is an absolute abomination of an anime made. It is so bad and abhorrent that you would question your life while watching this piece of garbage.

The plot and the story of this anime is so bad and bland that you would think twice before watching this absolute monstrosity. Basically, the protagonist of the story is a rich ass guy with no sense and humour and with the "MC" priviliges, which makes this show unbearable to watch. The other adorable hokkaido girls are head over heels for this lame ass MC since the author decided so. Its really petty. There is ... no chemistry or bond between the characters. Although its hinted they might have a past connection, it cant really be confirmed from the few episodes that I watched. But even still the dialogues and conversations between the characters are cringe worthy and so out of touch.

Even so this being a total shitshow, I would've still continued to watch the whole thing if it just wasn't as boring as it is. You would rather watch ants running their errands than watching this trash and it would still be more fun.

The art is also very mediocre and nothing special. The op and the ed were alright thus the rating. Otherwise this would have been a 0.

This is the most anime anime I've seen this year. The plot is beyond basic, just another harem it looks like. What' i do like about the show is it's art, it's decent to look at and the animation is perfectly fine. When it does a close up when it's an important scene, the art can be great. But the characters are flat for the most part They can be charming, but nothing to give them depth so their just 2d and hollow But i can't complain too much as this is just a junky fast food anime, just something to burn and waste your ... time with

A lot of slice of life/romances have very similar stories and character dynamics, but still they’re enjoyable or have their own unique twist. Hokkaido Gals had a lot of potential, with a change of setting from where most of school anime are set in, which it ruined with its annoying MC and lack of plot.

The story was a classic boy meets girl, that’s not bad in itself but it wasn’t done well. We never get an explanation as to why Shiki (the main character) moved from Tokyo to Hokkaido, and moving prefectures doesn’t sound like something you just do for no reason, right?
Aside ... from that, there literally no plot other than the characters going about their daily life, which can be enjoyable, SO many anime made it enjoyable with comedy or moe moments or literally anything else, and as far as I remember, there was not much of that in Hokkaido Gals, and the jokes never hit (were there even any jokes??)
And the romance feels really forced, and makes no sense.

As for the characters, the one character who’s in all of the frames, the main character Shiki, is insufferable. I’m okay with bland MCs, or MCs who lack social skills, I’ve watched a lot of slice of life like that. But usually, the MC has at least one special thing about him (Gojo from MDUD is good at sewing and has a backstory, hell even R-A-G’s MC had more character than Shiki and was more likeable). Shiki’s just there. No backstory, no goals, they try to sell us this image of him doing his best all the time or something but it never really hits, because there’s a pretty girl always by his side ever since he came to Hokkaido, and doing your best when a pretty girl’s cheering you on the whole time is pretty easy.

Fuyuki, the main love interest and the first girl he met in Hokkaido, surprisingly isn’t just a pretty face, and probably the best character in this series. She has some character development too, but i felt like her breasts being half visible the whole time was really weird and ruined her character design.
The rest of the characters don’t have much to speak of, but they have their own hobbies and interests and some character development, so they’re not as bad as Shiki, I guess as long as you can tolerate Shiki you’ll be fine.

Hokkaido Gal’s art was very nice, the characters looked good, and the scenery too. But aside from that, it wasn’t very enjoyable. Like I mentioned earlier, there was barely any humor, and if there was I missed it because of how unfunny it was. There aren’t any moments that have you at the edge of your seat and everything’s predictable in a bad way.

There’s just a lot of better ways to waste your time than this anime.

At first I quite liked this anime, the MC and Gal meeting is something that happens very often in various anime titles.
Even so, I was expecting something interesting from this anime.

But I'm so fed up with lucky characters like this MC, who just moved in and gets a girl he doesn't even know at all. What's worse is that the girl wants to follow MC everywhere, to be honest it's very annoying to see.
Moreover, other Gal will join in the third episode.

The MC himself, or the male character, is very unsightly, starting from the facial design and messy hair, Moreover, the reaction is quite annoying, ... when something happens between MC and Gal, MC will definitely show a disgusting reaction.

For the background, it is also in winter conditions, so every incident is definitely only related to winter, there is nothing else interesting, apart from what I've often seen in other anime about events in winter.
