Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu review - 88/100
The jungle has always been nice, and then came Guu.
Name: Weda.
Age: 25
Likes: Binge drinking, alcohol, alcohol, sleeping, alcohol, more alcohol and being childish, letting her son doing all the housework.
Dislikes: Work.
Rest: She came to the jungle when she was fourteen. She came from the city, lived in a rich family, but got pregnant, and her father rejected her and she went to the jungle.
On a day, the mother Weda brought to her and her son a girl that she found. The girl has no parents left and is allowed to live with Hale and Weda. 
Meet Guu! The first day that she arrived, was just like heaven for the son. You have to face, Guu is very cute. They play some games and after a good day, Hale and Guu are going to sleep. The next day, when Hale wakes up, we see Guu once more. 
Name: Guu
Age: Unknown.
Likes: ‘eating unusual stuff’, tormenting Hale, giving Hale a nervesbreakdown, irritating Hale, picking on Hale, confuses Hale, making Hale worry about a lot of things and making the situation even worse.
Dislikes: Unknown.
Rest: She has a big, great stomach, and some ’strange’ power.
Human: Unknown.
Name: Hale
Age: 11
Likes: Normal things, normal games, normal people, normal schools, normal homework, normal mothers, normal fathers, normal friends.
Dislikes: Weird things, weird games, weird people, weird schools, weird homework, weird mothers, weird fathers, weird friends, his father, cold.
Rest: Hale can be a bit rashly sometimes. He reacts too quick, which makes him an easy target for Guu.
When Hale found out about the other things about Guu, his life changed. Guu is for the rest of the anime always at his side, doing the most stupidest things ever, just to annoy Hale. And when I mean that, I mean everything! Guu has some times the tension to eat everything she sees, including Hale, and spit him out afterwords. Hale has so much to worry about, that it’s driving him mad.
This is the most fun thing ever seen, I’ve laughed so much about it. The only problem is that you can’t tell anything about this. The episodes are randomn once more, it is in a jungle, in a small village, and Guu is always making some trouble.^^ But the fun thing about it is, that only Hale notices what’s wrong and tries desperatly to make it normal once more, only encouragement for Guu to make the situation even worse.^^
You have to see this! It’s brilliant. The characters are great, Guu is just brilliance, the OP is catchy, the humour is great. After a while, even a storylines appears, and it’s great once more. The only thing that bothered me in this anime, was the ending. But well, we can’t complain, after this we are going to watch Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu Deluxe, after that one we are going to watch Jungle Wa Itsumo Hale Nochi Guu Final. I hope that some of my questions are answered there, but I think that Guu will never be explained.^^ I recommend this anime to everyone that loves a great laugh, and loves humour!
Ratings: 88/100
As you know, I saw the first 3 (or 4?) episodes. Well, I felt awfully sorry for Hale, to have to live with that crazy creature called Guu. He’s a nice boy, always want to help people and solve problems, but Guu is giving him much problems. But, it’s very funny too. The jokes are very bizarre, I laughed a lot about it, a jungle with strange creatures, an old man with way too much chesthair, an always sleeping teacher, etcetera etcetera. Sure I will check some more episodes, it made me smile and feel what Hale feels at te same time.
:p

I watched 2 episodes of it and i love it! Guu is brilliant! I love it how she stays so “cool”, which Hale defenitely can’t stand. Hehe!
