Gokudo (ゴクドーくん漫遊記, Gokudō-kun Man'yūki) is an anime about a mercenary named Gokudo (full name is Gokudo Yuccot Kikansky). Unlike most main characters, he is closer to a villain than a hero. He doesn't hesitate to abuse the needs of people, sell out his friends to save himself, run away from any dangers, or ditch others who helped him if he doesn't have any more interest in them. His life starts to change when he finds a magical Genie named Djinn who will to grant him three wishes. As most people would benefit from having three wishes, in his case it leads him to a lot of trouble, and it doesn't take long before he tries to escape from Djinn, as well as every other person he meets.
Other important characters are the Old Seer (or the Queen of the Magic World) who constantly appears out of nowhere seemingly only to make Gokudo suffer more, Rubette La Lette, a noble girl with a tomboy attitude who sees Gokudo as a rival, and Prince (called Niari by the Old Seer), a mage much better at handling women than Gokudo will ever be.
The series has been released on DVD by Anime Works.
In episode 17, there is a cameo appearance of Ten, from Urusei Yatsura, banging a gong.
