+The manga is a fairly simple episodic slice-of-life. It's cute and entertaining, though I feel as though it was cut short. The ending was set up over the course of 1 chapter and then executed within an additional chapter. So it feels very abrupt.
+I don't think it was canceled, though that's how it feels.

+Now, while I found it cute and entertaining...I think that I do see how it could have been cut short. The manga was very meandering and not much actually happened. That may sound silly for a slice-of-life((:fn:>Especially seeing as it's probably an [[lb:iyashikei]] as well.)) but //stuff// does still happen in slice-of-life stories.
+I think maybe part of the premise is flawed because it's called <cite><em underline highlight>//Gal//</em> & Dinosaur</cite>, but there wasn't actually that big of a focus on gyaru-like things.

+The anime is how I found this series and it's extremely bizarre.
+<div passage>
+Each episode is split into a few parts and generally into two halves. The first half is a pretty faithful adaptation of the manga (usually adapting two chapters at once). The second half...is a live-action spin-off/adaptation which more often than not goes completely off-the-rails.
+I'm not sure what compelled them to do this. On the one hand I admire the commitment and on the other I think it actually makes the anime worse. I think if they stuck to a faithful adaptation the show would be better.
+However, the live action segments are incoherent. They're entertaining at times, but when taken collectively they're just absurd in a bad way.
+</div>
+Besides the adaptation and the live action segments, there are a few extra segments. The most notable of these is Kyouryuu Channel which are a few 3D shorts. I think these are all //very good//.
