I saw the intro for this on YouTube and was immediately drawn to the vibe. I gave it a watch and became a big fan. I love the wacky world and surreal comedy that refuses to slow down or explain itself. And honestly, it doesn't need to. Half the fun of Hare Guu is that you never know what you're gonna get with each episode.
Occasionally they'll hit an emotional beat or two, but it's mainly concerned with just having fun. My only real complaint is that Hare screams a lot. Not that I blame him is life sucks lol.

A hidden gem, its like opening up an attic and then taking a tab of acid that has been hidden in an old chest
In the jungle, young boy Hare has his world flipped when his mom brings home a little girl to add to the family. Named Guu, she seems nice but within a day she becomes an absolute menace. Apathetic yet chaotic and clueless about human customs, she is like an alien masquerading as a kid. With powers like eating anything whole, her stomach being an extra dimensional space with another world inside, she can also regurgitate anything she eats.
Given the story ,the art has this surreal psychedelic nostalgia to it .
You may expect the comedy to consist of just 'hehe xd random humor"But it is actually amazing, somehow the jokes are built over the entire episode. Each episode contains 1-…

NO spoilers. Season 1 review (for a good reason).
Story - 5
This is an episodic comedy, it's not story-driven, but that is not inherently a negative, and it's certainly not a bad thing on the case of this series.
Character - 7
Characters are consistent, memorable (not always) and very diverse. Characters are simple, with exceptions (yet likeable, with exceptions). The contributions from simple characters are usually good, but at one point one of the characters gets obnoxious.
Art - 6
The designs are better than that of the manga, to the point where the mangaka adapted the anime's design of the MC. The difference of the art's quality between the manga and anime is abysmal. Visuals are not the show's forte, but they're good enough as to contribute to the show's enjoyment.
Sound - 7

This is quite frankly, one of the most bizarre shows I have seen in my life. When I first watched Sarazanmai from last year, I wasn't too phased by how weird that show was, because way back when about 10 years ago I happened to come across this show browsing various pirate sites. Hey Anime discussions either weren't really around, or I was just not browsing them myself. I don't think I'll ever find something this strange ever again. But I still say it was one of my more entertaining experiences. The humor is surreal, certain pieces of the story are played seriously, but those are few and far between. The plot moves sort of like a kid with ADHD, but in a good way. So long as you relax and turn your brain off, you will be in for one hell of a ride

This is the most hilarious show I have watched in a long time! Hare is really cute and I really feel sorry for him when Guu screws his life. Their personalities clash really well. Hare’s personality is a whiny little child who is always having to watch out for others and has a good grasp on reality even though he plays lots of video games. Guu… well… she lives to torture him psychologically and physically and pretty much screw with his whole life turning it upside down. Ya… that’s pretty much her soul purpose in this world and does amazingly well at that. Through the whole show, Hare is eaten by Guu(then spat back out), has his friends eaten (most get spat back out), had his village elder mortified when Guu steals his chest hair, and sees other random objects be put into Guu’s mouth and th…

I saw Hare+Guu fairly early on in my anime fandom, and thought it was the funniest thing ever. It’s set in a jungle with a young single attractive mother and her stressed out son, doing jungle stuff. Things start to go a bit haywire when the mother decides to adopt a cute little pink haired girl into the family, for no real reason beyond shits and giggles. Guu is a…well, in nerdy prat terms, she straddles a line between chaotic good, chaotic neutral and utterly incomprehensible. The spends most of the series goofing off in the background, dropping sly comments about proceedings, goading characters into actions, and then doing various other magical acts simply because she can. If Guu was doing all these weird and wonderful things just for the sake of it, the series would get old very quickl…

This is a personal favorite ^.^ The random comedy is golden, and it had little to no storyline. Is this OK? Absolutely! If anything, the near-nonexistent storyline only adds to the fun! To those of you who despise this trait in an anime... I have to say that I would still recommend Hare + Guu. What more could one want from an anime that involves swallowing people whole, drinking the ocean, changing faces, and firing a gun from your arm... all in one hilariously awesome person?!
... but yea, I thought it was a great watch and it was definitely something that brightened my day.

Hare and Guu revolves around a stressed out 10 year old boy named Hare, he lives in a fairly peaceful jungle with his alcohoic youthful mother and attends a tiny school. However, his life soon changes, when Guu moves in.
The ultra cute Guu is a 'bait and switch' type of character who soon shows her true, out-of-this-world colours. Unfortunately, Hare is the only one aware of her supernatural hijinx.
This is one of those obscure comedy anime's inwhich anything can happen, yet this one happens to be exceptionally well written; detailed character discriptions allow the story to take a more serious note at times and open doors for many opportunities.

So I was asked for my opinion on this show and figured I'd turn it in to a full blown review. By the way this is my first so please be gentle :-P
First off if you particularly like tsukkomi/boke comedy stop reading and just go and watch this show, a huge amount of the comedy is based on this. For anybody you can recognise a bit of Japanese you'll notice about a fifth of Hare's sentences end with a variation of tsukkomu (most subbers translate this as something like 'jab'). If you have no idea what I was talking about for the past two sentences keep reading…..
Story
Plot development really takes a back seat in the anime. From what I understand there is more in the manga, but this is a review for the anime. To be fair this doesn’t really make much difference, you’ll be watching this for t…

So, imagine you live in the jungle, eating bananas and wierd looking jam filled creatures called pokute. Add to this a mother who loves to drink, a teacher with what is tantamount to a sleeping disorder, a girl who thinks she the heroine of her own tragic shoujo manga, a couple who have no shame, a guy who laughs at everything, a village leader who thinks chest hair is the ultimate sign of manliness, and various other characters.
Now, for good measure, throw in the ultimate terror on two legs in the form of a cute (sometimes), little girl, and make it so that your dumbass mother takes her into your home and treats her like a daughter. Add a maid who suffers from gushing nosebleeds, a man with extremely scary eyes, an apathetically perverted doctor, and the old woman hairdresser from hell…

After watching this whole thing, I'm not quite sure what to say except that it's unbelievably random, which makes it pretty humorous. Really, to sum the plot up in a sentence, is to say it's about a boy, Hare, living in the jungle with a cannabalistic demon in a young, pink-haired female's body named Guu, and she disrupts his life in numerous ways every day.
Usually I don't watch that sort of anime where random and insane is supposed to be funny (an example is Excel Saga, I suppose, which I highly dislike). But the wit in this is displayed across nicely and allows for many a laugh every episode. There are even times where it gets remotely sentimental, just to get shot down again, perhaps by one of Guu's remarks.
The animation is certainly nothing spectacular, but it doesn't really need i…
