Gokudo the Adventureer (1999) ゴクドーくん 漫遊記

Director: Kunihisa Sugishima / Kenichi Kasai / Goro Taniguchi / Makoto Noriza / Yoshitaka Fujimoto / Akihiko Nishiyama Screenwriter: Atsuhiro Tomioka Starring: Akira Ishida / Sayuri Yoshida / Shinichiro Miki / Mana Mizuno / Shimaka Yu / Kanetsuki Mami / Asakawa Yu / Ayako Hori / Hino Yurika / Makiko Omoto / Kae Araki / Ikuya Sawaki / Soichiro Hoshi / Houko Kuwashima / Taeko Kawada / Ryutaro Okiayu Genre: Comedy / Action / Animation Country/Region of Production: Japan Language: English / Japanese Date: 1999-04-02 Number of episodes: 26 Also known as: 极道君漫游记 / Jester the Adventurer / Gokudo IMDb: tt0756269 Type: Appropriation

Summary:

The story focuses on an adventurer named Gokudo. Unlike most protagonists he is an antihero, willing to resort to violence to fulfill his agenda. He does not hesitate to abuse the needs of people, sell out his friends to save himself, run away from any dangers, or ditch others who helped him if he does not have any more interest in them. His life starts to change when he finds a magical Genie named Djinn who wants to grant him three wishes. While people would benefit from having three wishes, in his case it leads him to a lot of trouble, and it doesn't take long before he tries to escape from Djinn, and every other person he meets.

Other important characters are the Old Seer (or the Queen of the Magic World), who constantly appears out of nowhere, seemingly only to make Gokudo suffer more; Rubette La Lette, a noble girl with a tomboy attitude who sees Gokudo as a rival; and Prince (called Niari by the Old Seer), a mage much better at handling women than Gokudo will ever be.

Hot take : team Japan saw the theme for the RD was going to be the 80's and did the CORRECT thing which was to go full camp.

KoKo brought Ghostbusters with bedazzled slime suits

Kishimoto/Tamura went for Mr Robot

Tanaka/Nishiyama went for fucking Mario Bros

Yoshida/Morita went a more classic road with Iggy Pop but that works because those kids have a truckload of charisma

Azusa Tanaka/Shingo Nishiyama 2024/25 RD to September, Sir Duke, and Land of a Thousand Dances -- this one's a 60's/70's mashup from IAM. all 3 songs have a horn section

Utana Yoshida/Masaya Morita 2024/25 RD: Be-Bop-a-Lula, Whole Lotta Shakin' Goin' On - they train with Cathy Reed in Japan. their costumes are so reminiscent of these, especially her dress:

if Utashin didn't work out, at least they're both thriving 💙 (and competing against each other for 🇯🇵assignments for the near future)

Summary:

On December 31, 2052, in order to prevent the scientist Ryutaro from destroying the world, Xuanzang Jiuzou asked his son Xuanzang Sanzang to select some robots from 99 robots numbered 1-99. Sanzang finally selected five robots: Gokyuu, Tongoh, Jou, Suuji, and Mioto. On January 1, 2053, Ryutaro modified the program of supercomputer Eve and began to destroy the world. In order to protect Sanzang, Zero, the first generation robot manufactured by Jiuzao, was destroyed along with the robots Soichi Fujimura and Souka Fujimura created by Ryutaro. Robot Tai is Wujiu's opponent on the surface, but in fact he is protecting Wujiu and his group. In order to restore the supercomputer Eve's program to its original appearance and return to December 31, 2052 to stop Ryutaro, they must find 49 parts to save the world. Head east! For Abbot (a life form of opportunity) to coexist with humans...

One thousand years in the future, the world has lost its balance. All the giant trees up to 10,000 meters high have been cut down by humans as obstacles. The entire world has turned into a desert. Only humans and Abbot are left in this world that is heading for destruction. As if guided by fate, Sanzang and Gokyuu meet. Traveling together, Sanzou - a young man shrouded in mystery, Gokyuu - the strongest and worst Anbot around, Tongoh - an Anbot fond of drinking, Jou - someone who is great with machines, Suuji - a female Anbot thief, and last but not least, Mioto. And so, their journey begins to the boundless East, to the land where the sun was born!
