Episode 3 Review: The Gorilla God’s Go-To Girl

“Strength, Secrets, and School Drama”

If you’re looking for a mix of absurdity, charm, and teenage chaos, The Gorilla God’s Go-To Girl (or Gorira no Kami Kara Kago Sareta Reijou wa Ouritsu Kishidan de Kawaigarareru) delivers just that. Episode 3, titled “Strength, Secrets, and School Drama,” dives deeper into Sophia Leeler’s struggle to balance her newfound power, her secret knighthood, and the relentless attention from her classmates—especially the jealous ones.

The Plot Thickens (and So Does the Comedy)

Sophia, the timid count’s daughter blessed with the strength of a gorilla, is now officially a junior knight. But here’s the catch: she’d rather keep it a secret. Why? Because her school life is already a mess thanks to the sudden arrival of her knightly friends—Louis, Eddie, and Isaac—who, by the way, are way too popular for her comfort.

Fans have been divided on Sophia’s insistence on secrecy. Some find it relatable—after all, who wouldn’t want to avoid the spotlight when you’re already an introvert? Others, though, are frustrated. As one fan put it: “Girl, you’re a junior knight! Own it! The more you hide, the worse it gets!” And honestly? They’re not wrong. The episode plays this trope for laughs, but it’s clear Sophia’s attempts to stay under the radar are backfiring spectacularly.

The Reverse Harem Vibes (But Make It Funny)

Let’s address the elephant—or should I say, gorilla—in the room: the show is giving off major reverse harem energy. Louis is clearly smitten, Eddie and Isaac are protective besties, and the school’s female population is not happy about Sophia hogging all the attention.

Fans are split on this dynamic. Some love it: “Louis and Sophia’s scenes are adorable! I’m here for the chaos!” Others are wary: “Please don’t turn this into a full-blown reverse harem where every guy falls for her. Let them just be friends!” For now, the show keeps things light, focusing more on friendship and comedy than romance, which is a relief for those who aren’t into the usual harem tropes.

The Gorilla God Steals the Show (Again)

One thing everyone agrees on? The Gorilla God is hilarious. Whether it’s his random gorilla facts (yes, that’s a thing) or his over-the-top reactions to Sophia’s struggles, he’s the MVP of every scene he’s in. As one fan joked: “The Gorilla God blushing took me out. Why is he the most relatable character here?”

The Animation Debate

Not all feedback is glowing. Some viewers have pointed out inconsistencies in the animation quality, especially in action scenes. “The Gorilla strength feels inconsistent at times,” noted one critic. Others defended it, arguing that the show’s charm lies in its humor and characters, not necessarily its visuals.

Final Thoughts: Should You Keep Watching?

If you’re here for a lighthearted, slightly ridiculous take on supernatural blessings and high school drama, The Gorilla God’s Go-To Girl is a fun ride. Sophia’s struggles are relatable (even if her solutions aren’t), the humor lands more often than not, and the Gorilla God is a scene-stealer.

But if you’re hoping for deep world-building or flawless animation, this might not be your cup of tea. As one fan summed it up: “It’s simple, but it’s peak. I’m staying for the cute gorilla reactions.”

And honestly? Same.

Rating: 7.5/10 – A solid, entertaining episode with room to grow.
