{"product_id":"gokudo-dvd","title":"Gokudo DVD","description":"\u003cp\u003eGokudo Yuccot Kikansky is an adventurer in the most technical sense: he travels, he fights, and occasionally things get resolved. His actual goals are considerably less noble than the word \"adventurer\" implies — specifically, he wants all the money in the world and as many beautiful women as possible, ideally with minimal personal risk and maximum personal gain. He is rude, cowardly, lazy, and spectacularly unpleasant. He will absolutely skip out on a restaurant bill, steal from anyone not paying attention, and abandon his companions at the first sign of genuine danger. His career of cheerful villainy takes a complicated turn when an old seer in a tavern warns him that an evil king is out to get him — a warning he ignores while robbing her. This turns out to have been a mistake. What follows is a cascade of increasingly absurd magical disasters: a gender-changing genie named Djinn who would rather lecture Gokudo about responsibility than grant wishes; Rubette, a noble tomboy archer who joins the party and regularly questions her own judgment; Prince Niari, the demon prince of the Magic World who has been stripped of his powers and forced to tag along; two dangerous Chinese witch sisters; and a panda who appears to be permanently drunk. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGokudo is a 26-episode fantasy comedy series based on Usagi Nakamura's light novel series, produced by Trans Arts and aired on TV Tokyo in 1999. It is a thoroughgoing parody of the fantasy adventure genre — subverting every heroic convention by making its protagonist not just an anti-hero but an active liability, while surrounding him with a cast of increasingly exasperated companions who somehow keep ending up in more trouble than before they met him. The series was praised for its sharp comedic timing, escalating absurdity, and the genuinely surprising depth it develops in its latter episodes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally released in North America on DVD by Media Blasters under the Anime Works label, the Collection Extraordinaire boxset collects all 26 episodes across 6 discs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNotable Staff \u0026amp; Voice Talent\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirector:\u003c\/b\u003e Kunihisa Sugishima\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOriginal Light Novels:\u003c\/b\u003e Usagi Nakamura (Kadokawa Sneaker Bunko)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries Composition:\u003c\/b\u003e Takao Yoshioka\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eStudio:\u003c\/b\u003e Trans Arts \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCast:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Akira Ishida as Gokudo (Slayers, Escaflowne, Now and Then Here and There)\u003cbr\u003e- Manabi Mizuno as Rubette La Lette (Catnapped!, A Wind Named Amnesia)\u003cbr\u003e- Shin'ichiro Miki as Prince Niari (Escaflowne, Arjuna, Vampire Princess Miyu)\u003cbr\u003e- Yutaka Shimaka as Djinn (male form)\u003cbr\u003e- Mami Kingetsu as Djinn (female form) \/ Carrie (Knights of Ramune)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDVD Features\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Media Blasters \/ Anime Works Previews \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSpoken Languages:\u003c\/b\u003e English \u0026amp; Japanese Audio, English Subtitles \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdition Details\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJapanese Title:\u003c\/b\u003e ゴクドーくん漫遊記 (Gokudō-kun Man'yūki)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRuntime:\u003c\/b\u003e ~650 Minutes (Complete Series, 26 Episodes)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDirector:\u003c\/b\u003e Kunihisa Sugishima\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eDVD Release Year:\u003c\/b\u003e 2001–2003 (U.S. Release); Collection Extraordinaire Boxset 2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOriginal Broadcast Date (Japan):\u003c\/b\u003e April 2 – September 24, 1999 (TV Tokyo)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Media Blasters (Anime Works)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRating:\u003c\/b\u003e Unrated\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRegion:\u003c\/b\u003e Region 1 (U.S. \/ Canada)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eGenre:\u003c\/b\u003e Fantasy, Comedy, Adventure\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThemes:\u003c\/b\u003e Anti-Hero Protagonist, Genre Parody, Gender-Changing Genie, Demon Prince, Comedic Questing \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMedia assumed VG+ unless otherwise noted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pre-Owned","offers":[{"title":"V1 - Swordsman Extraordinaire: Because Sometimes a Hero...Isn't the Answer (EP 1-5)","offer_id":42471436255317,"sku":null,"price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"V2 - Magician Extraordinaire: Tall Dark and Evil to Boot (EP 6-10)","offer_id":42471436288085,"sku":null,"price":7.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"V3 - Goddess Extraordinaire: Hell Hath no Fury Like a Goddess Scorned!
