Gorillaman English Sub & Dub

About Gorillaman

Gorillaman (ゴリラーマン) arrives as a comedy anime by J.C.STAFF (1992), and the premise is easy to summarize. The premise: A school comedy about a mute transfer learner, Tadashi Iketo, who is constant­ly shuffled from school to school for his "violent nature," though he really is a mild-mannered boy constantly taunt­ed into fights over his simian.

With comedy at the core, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Shuji Fujimoto (Kazuhiro Nakata) and Sadaharu Ikedo (Daisuke Gouri) are two of the characters you will meet early.

If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. At 2 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by J.C.STAFF, so the studio's house style defines how Gorillaman looks and moves on screen. Within the comedy category, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. With a 5.5/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. On the casting side, Kazuhiro Nakata voicing Shuji Fujimoto gives the lead role a recognizable voice. Released in 1992, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
