The Gorilla Gods Go-To Girl [Season 1 Episode 3]

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

If you’re looking for an anime that doesn’t take itself too seriously but still manages to be a blast, The Gorilla God’s Go-To Girl might just be your next guilty pleasure. Episode 3 continues the trend of chaotic fun, blending absurd humor with just enough heart to keep you invested.

What’s the Deal with This Show?

For those who haven’t tuned in yet, The Gorilla God’s Go-To Girl follows the misadventures of a girl who somehow becomes the go-to problem solver for a group of eccentric gorilla gods. Yes, you read that right—gorilla gods. The premise is as wild as it sounds, and Episode 3 cranks up the ridiculousness even further.

According to Anime News Network, this episode isn’t winning any awards for animation quality, but it makes up for it with sheer entertainment value. The show is currently streaming on Crunchyroll, so if you’re in the mood for something lighthearted and off-the-wall, this might be worth checking out.

Episode 3 Breakdown: Chaos and Charm

Without diving into heavy spoilers, Episode 3 throws our protagonist into yet another bizarre scenario involving the gorilla gods. The humor is fast-paced, relying on visual gags and over-the-top reactions, which seems to be a hit with fans. One thing that stands out is the show’s self-awareness—it knows it’s ridiculous, and it leans into it hard.

Fans on MyAnimeList have pointed out that while the plot isn’t exactly groundbreaking, the sheer unpredictability of each episode keeps them coming back. One user joked, “I don’t know what’s happening half the time, but I’m laughing too hard to care.” That pretty much sums up the vibe.

What Fans Are Saying

The discussions around this episode highlight a few key points:
1. The Humor Lands (Mostly): The show’s brand of comedy isn’t for everyone, but if you enjoy absurd, almost surreal humor, you’ll probably love it. Some fans compare it to Nichijou or Excel Saga in terms of sheer randomness.
2. Animation Could Be Better: As mentioned earlier, the animation isn’t the show’s strong suit. Some scenes feel a bit stiff, but the energy of the voice acting and writing helps carry it.
3. It’s Short and Sweet: At around 20 minutes per episode, it’s an easy watch. Perfect for when you just want to unwind without committing to a heavy storyline.

Final Thoughts

The Gorilla God’s Go-To Girl isn’t trying to be the next Attack on Titan or Demon Slayer, and that’s okay. It’s a fun, silly ride that doesn’t overstay its welcome. If you’re in the mood for something different—something that doesn’t take itself seriously at all—give Episode 3 a shot.

And hey, if nothing else, you’ll never look at gorillas the same way again.

Rating: 7.5/10 – Flawed but undeniably fun.

Where to Watch: Crunchyroll (Sundays).
