Henbe English Sub & Dub

About Henbe

Here is what Henbe (パラソルヘンべえ) is about, retold in plain terms: an adventure, comedy and fantasy anime by Kumarba (1989). The setup: All children dream to have an ally straight from a fairy tale... A little boy opens his closet and comes across an odd creature with a parasol sitting in there.

Also worth knowing: Nobody knows how he got there and from what mysterious worlds he is, but it is a fast friendship from the beginning. Nobody can ever know...

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. If you count yourself among anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling, put it on your list. At 200 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.

Production & Appeal

Animation is handled by Kumarba, so the studio's house style defines how Henbe looks and moves on screen. Because it leans on adventure, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Released in 1989, it competed with that season's other new series for attention.
