Hare+Guu DVD Volume 1

Sketches of Guu from the Hare+Guu Volume 1 DVD Special Features

Story

Hare is going about his day in his tropical island(?) village when something strange happens to him. That evening his mom brings home an orphan girl named Guu to live with them. She seems nice, and she’s awfully cute, so Hare overcomes his misgivings. The next day Guu’s real personality comes out. It’s such a big change that Hare thinks it’s someone else.

After that Hare spends his time trying to keep Guu out of trouble. He has his hands full.

My Opinion

Hare+Guu is ok. It has some pretty funny moments and can be fairly entertaining. The simple art style is simple enough for kids but flexible enough to interest parents too. It fits because you could describe the whole show that way.

Hare seems to be aimed at older kids, but that’s a call for parents. If you’re concerned about some mild bad language like the occasional “damn” or Hare’s mom drinking pretty heavily, then this anime is not for you. If it doesn’t bother you to let your kids see it, then I’d recommend Hare+Guu. It’s something you might enjoy watching with ‘em.

Extras

The special features weren’t out of the ordinary, but there’s plenty of ‘em. Text less opening and closing, production gallery and cultural notes.

The extra I enjoyed the most was the English outtakes. I always like to see those in the extras. To me it’s the same as seeing outtakes or a gag reel on a movie DVD. I enjoy ‘em both.

Is it worth it?

Hare+Guu is a rental. It has it’s good points and I enjoyed it, but this isn’t one you should just pick up without seeing some of it first.

Hare+Guu might be aimed at a younger audience, if you can get past the language and alcohol, but it has some entertainment value for older viewers as well.

    Much better in the sub than the dub, Jennifer Sekiguchi doesn’t find the groove as Guu until well into the series, and Guu is where the humor comes from.

    I bought it to support anime, which is what I do if I like a title.

    Good site, by the way.

    Thanks I really appreciate that. :)

    I agree, the sub has something the dub is lacking. On the first DVD anyway.

    If I had the cash to buy more than the titles I absolutely love then I’d be up to my ears in anime and manga. As it is I rent a lot of anime so I can find the ones that I just have to buy. Pretty much all the money I earn writing here goes to pay for anime and manga.
