Summary: If this guy played fair, he wouldn't survive the series
Review: Absolutely hilarious!!! Gokudo only has two wishes, "I want all the money and all the hot babes of the world all to myself!" He gets turned into a woman, an old man, a woman again, a baby, and back again. This greedy, backstabbing, pervert beats the bad guys for one reason, HE'S WORSE. The fact that he is an unbeatable swordsman helps. One of the many running gags in the series is that Gokudo breaks the foulest wind in human existance. It not only clears taverns, but counters magic spells and rouses tempermental goddesses. His dealings with the oni Ikyuo are equally hilarious. I originally bought this series on VHS and this is the excuse I have been looking for to get it on DVD!

Summary: Gokudo ¿ Comedy Series Extraordinaire!
Review: Enter Gokudo Yucott Kikansky: adventurer, treasure-hunter, womanizer - overall the most selfish, stubborn, greedy character I've ever known (and still he ranks high among my favorites). The story opens as a stubby little fortune-teller informs Gokudo that the king of Eshalatto is trying to kill him. Gokudo listens to the fortune-teller just long enough to get a free dinner out of her and pick her pocket before making a cheap excuse and a mad dash (I wish I could run that fast) back to the inn where he is staying. The true fun begins when Gokudo finds that what he has stolen from the fortune-teller doesn't have the sort of value he was hoping for... Soon all sorts of strange things are happening and Gokudo finds himself with the fate of the world on his shoulders, which he naturally tries to shrug off at every opportunity he gets. The cast of characters grows steadily throughout the series' 26-episode length, every character bringing their very own distinctive personality - complete with their very own distinctive and hilarious personality flaws!
I highly recommend this series to everyone, only to say that I would voluntarily rate it somewhere between PG and PG-13. I bought this series in the box set the very first chance I got after seeing the first two of six discs. In fact, I just finished watching it today, and I really hope that there is more "Gokudo" in the works. Happy watching!

Summary: I couldn't stop watching it^o^
Review: Gokudo can be describes in 3 words; Male Lina Inverse. This series is SOOOO funny!^o^ He travels with this girl he has zero interest in who not only acts a bit like him, but looks like his freaking identical twin! Oddly enough, in the very last episode in the last 5 min, she decides she 'likes' him, go figure. Anyway, Gokudo is this funny self-centered prince-half who gets turned into women & chibis & he never gets what he wants & this hideosly scary woman follows him everywhere. & if you thought Slayers was funny, this is possible even more ammusing!

Summary: Yes its good, but not that good...
Review: I have watched many animes and GOKUDO is just something I would say rather plainly so far, is nothing exceptional. At certain times, it can be dry but it can be funny too. But for 26 episodes altogether, the story doesn't have a story and becomes a mix mash of silly tales of Gods & Demons.It can be fun to watch when there is nothing to watch at all... but its more of rent than to own.

Summary: Check it out!
Review: If you're anything like me, you bought the first dvd, thought it started really sloppy, but laughed your [...] off anyways and wanted to see more but didn't know if it would be worth it. It is. This dvd picks up and continues the momentum begun in the first. The new characters are great and now I'm officially hooked. I can't wait to see part three of this twisted fantasy anime creation. Djinn is arguably the star of this disk and his lectures (and Gokudo's reaction to them) are hilarious. He even becomes a girl again (voiced by the brilliant Jessica Calvello) and changes their horse into a man who continues to act much like a horse. There's plenty more Ikyu action, a giant turtle princess in need of some good lovin', a drunken outdoor banquet of insanity that must be seen to be believed (I don't want to ruin it), Gokudo is turned into a grumpy old man and back again, and the mighty (and bratty) Sun Goddess appears and changes Gokudo's name (she can do that, she's a goddess) to Stinky. Too much fun for words to explain, really.

Summary: A good show, if you don't mind a protagonist with no morals
Review: Lina Inverse may have had her greedy, ill-tempered, mercenary-like ways, but she was undeniably a good person underneth all that. Not so with Gokudo. A scheming, thieving swordsman who steals from ANYONE and gives to himself, he seems to have been born without a concience, and whenever he battles evil, it's only because they happen to be threatening him personally. In episode one, his landlord asks for his help when the man's daughter Asaka is kidnapped. Gokudo first demands payment of 50 gold coins in exchange for his services, then walks off with the money with no intention to do anything! Anyway, the first three episodes on this tape/disk are with Gokudo meeting a genie who can change his own gender-both in body and in mind-and who picks and chooses which wishes to grant, and who has a weakness for alcohol, obtains a magic sword that returns to him whenever he calls for it, (guess what Gokudo plans to use the sword for,) stumbles upon a plot by the evil ruler of the kingdom Lolette to sacrifice several virgen women, including the king's own daughter Rubette, and discovers the secret of his birth. The next two episodes are the beginning of a whole new story, as Gokudo, having defeated the evil king, goes off on another adventure with the genie and Princess Rubette in tow. The show is filled with laughs, and the English dub is great. Two of my favorite voice actors are in it-Stacy Renna (Leona from DOMINION TANK POLICE) is the female genie, Debbie Rabbai/Angoria Deb (Female Maze from MAZE THE MEGA-BURST SPACE) is the adventure-seeking princess Rubette Lolette. Check this one out-unless, of course, you need your heros to have a spark of decency in them.

Summary: gets interesting at the end
Review: The comparisons to Slayers are inevitable... I mean, heck, a pointy haried little helligan swordsman in a medival setting... how can you not compare it to Slayers? Unless you haven't see Slayers. I was frustrated that the story went so quick and then hit a brick in the middle. By the end I was disappointed that FINALLY it was getting interesting. Despite my 3 star rating I actually want to see the next episodes on the next disc. This is a good watch if you're feeling childish and silly.

Summary: Gokudo - an Extraordinaire anime!
Review: There are noble, handsome princes who traverse afar for the good of society, defending the weak, giving money to the poor... And then there's Gokudo. An ill-tempered, lecherous, money-grubbing adventurer whose only thoughts are for his own safety and pleasure, he manages to accidentally save at least four people every episode, usually stealing from them in the process. His goals are never honest, and his methods are despicable, but he's got spunk. Each episode is laugh-out-loud hilarious, the fight scenes are most excellent, and the enemies are superb. A must-see for the Slayers fan.
