He goes around the world sometimes threatening other animals (lions, bears etc...) or just make friendships. Mostly he's in search of food, and it resolves often with disasters for the other species.

If the tekken loop Deithwen posted is any indication, it could be worth watching. Forum Guidelines \| Report Abuse

I don't think GON said anything in the manga. It should be WITHOUT SPEECH. So no need for VAs.

bla bla bla

The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.

True, but it is specified as 3D CGI. I have seen a single 3D CGI anime that didn't make my eyes bleed, and that was Advent Children. And the Tekken loop didn't look that great - it was very stiff.
