Gokudo

Gokudo is a selfish, greedy, insolent, and greedy bastard who has no scruples and no possessions. Plus, no young girl can be sure of herself in front of him, and so a person (me), drowning in all those contemporary male protagonists who are often so bland and full of good intentions, could not help but take a liking to him right away. Comparisons to Lina Inverse and the Slayers anime series are pretty much spot on, although when I put the main protagonists side by side, Lina is a pretty good girl compared to Gokudo, who does occasionally wipe out a town. Lina, however, only takes money from bandits and for work done, whereas Gokudo will steal from anyone. As far as the comparison between the two shows is concerned, the humor is similar, although, unlike Slayers, there are practically no limits in this show, so we get occasional gems like the "good old" fart jokes. Furthermore, the creators of Gokudo have no problem with writing a love story, so it sparkles in this respect as well. Prince Niari, in particular, is perfect as the indomitable hunter of all things female (except turtles and monkeys). The plot is very good, and I liked some parts and the setting a lot. The characters are also very good, although their variety, craziness, and chemistry with each other fall short of the quality of Slayers, in my opinion. However, overall I think it is a perfect show, so I could not help but award it 9/10. (13.01.2015)
