About Gokudo

Gokudo (ゴクドーくん漫遊記) arrives as an adventure anime by Trans Arts (1999), and the premise is easy to summarize. The setup: It all sets off when Gokudou steals a pouch from a fortuneteller, thinking that it contains a gem. Instead, it turns out to be a rock, from which emerges Djinn.

Further in, the genie grants Gokudou the standard three wishes, but our anti-hero doesn't think heavily about his wishes. Gokudou does get his wishes, though not exactly in the fashion that he expected. The best thing he gets out of his wishes is Honou no Maken, a magical sword that enables its owner to do fire attacks and it can be summoned from anywhere in the realm.

With adventure at the core, exploration, new locations and a steady sense of momentum drive the story. Voice work is led by Akira Ishida as Gokudou Yuccot Kikansky and Shinichirou Miki as Niari. Think of it as a pick for anyone who enjoys travel-the-world storytelling. The run is 26 episodes in total, so you know what you are signing up for.
