ABOUT HARÉ + GUU

The surreal and outlandish comedy Haré+Guu begins when a young boy's peaceful life is interrupted by his mother's adoption of an orphaned girl- a girl that's not exactly human, who has an alternate dimension of weird people and bizarre creatures living in her stomach, and whose sole purpose for existence seems to be making the young boy's life a living hell. And that's just the first episode! The Haré+Guu television series, produced by Square Enix and animated by the world famous Shin'ei Doga production studio, has been a smash hit internationally. In its native Japan, the series has spawned a pair of award winning sequel series. In America, the series has become a cult sensation among devoted anime fans.
