Customer Reviews: Total numer of reviews: 11 Average rating: 4.0 "A Funny and Gorgeous Comedy for all Anime Fans!" Based in the traditions of Ranma 1/2 and Tenchi Muyo, Jungle de Ikou is full of the kind of dead-on comic timing and colorful characters that make or break a series like this. The story follows 10-year-old Natsumi, a Japanese schoolgirl teetering on the brink of womanhood. As though her insecurities about her body weren't difficult enough, she's just inherited an ancient pendant that will transform her into the absurdly top-heavy Flower Goddess Mii whenever she does a special dance. Accompanying her along her misadventures are Ongo - a kid devil, Rongo - a beautiful water spirit, and Ahamu - the lecherous God of Soil. This anime is a must-see for any fan of comedic anime. Young viewers should be warned that even though the anime is not explicitly sexual, there are some suggestive scenes and there's enough enormous breast-bouncing to put half of the animators in Japan to work. See it, see it, see it!
