Synopsis

It all starts 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. 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 world.

Even with an enchanted sword, Gokudou doesn't get much respect. He gets turned into a woman by Djinn, who is also a shapeshifter. He is followed by Rubette La Late, a potential love interest who is more interested in adventure, karaoke and outperforming Gokudou. He gets whapped on the head a lot, especially by the fortuneteller who reappears throughout the series just to plague Gokudou it seems. Later in the series, he gets another sidekick, a former evil magician named Prince, who is more handsome and a better womanizer than Gokudou.

An anti hero steals a magic rock from an old witch. Turns out that magic rock contains a genie, and Gokudou, the main character, has three wishes. But. The show isn't about wishes or genies. Its about adventure.

This anime became my instant favorite. It's really funny, and isn't afraid of taking itself not seriously and being just full on goofy, instead of trying to mix a bunch of genres to be original or whatever.

The story is really fun. it feels like you're playing DND with your friends, really fun to follow and find out what happens next. It actually makes you wanna see the ...

Story about an anti hero who become a hero even he dont want to...Look confusing right...Theres a lot of comedy,action and quietly good character development....For 26 episodes anime,they have too much elements that make it so compact...With those elements,they can make another seasons without a doubt...They have to rush the ending and also the romance part on final episode...The romance part appears only on final episode and they must rush thing there...If they give the romance part another 2 episodes,it will be more interesting..This anime really have potential for another season...What can I say? That how it should be I guess...

In the 90's, there was a trend of wacky fantasy adventure comedies. Gokudo is one of them. The story is mostly a series of excuses for jokes and wacky antics, because of this there tends to be a lot of plot holes and throwaway story elements. Some arcs also suffer from pacing issues, for example the china arc drags on for too long, while the introduction feels like it was written on a crack overdose. But what about the jokes? The humor is very obnoxious most of the time and only one or two gags made me chuckle, this comedy just isn't funny..

The characters are ...
