| In the deep jungles of New Guinea, there lived the earth god Ahem. He fought the god of destruction, Ongo, and imprisoned him in a statue. Years later, this statue falls in the hands of a yung girl in Japan, who sets Ongo free. Ahem grants the girl the power of Mii, the flower goddess. Additionally, the goddess of water, Rongo, throws a monkey wrench in the works.

| What a piece of crap! but it was an extremely entertaining, very amusing and completely daft anime.
It's one of those things you should watch if you're feeling down, or want something totally inane and pointless to watch or just want to be assailed by wobbly bosoms and lotsa purposeful panty shots!
I loved it! It was funny and just what I needed when I'd been watching too many dark and depressing anime, it really brightened up my day ^_^

| Do not waste your time with this, there’s zero innovation in this and totally shallow. The reason I gave this a try was due to its name, there aren’t many anime titles with “jungle” in it, and there might have been a good reason too.
Ecchi with some comedy and crappy childish action, I really did ask myself why someone bothered to create this. The animation was okay, a bit simplistic. And it probably wouldn’t have matter if the animation was good, with this kind of story, it would have been crap anyways.
Thing was, there was so much stupidity in this that made me fell disgusted, I can see how someone can find this funny though, but for me, it wasn’t at all. Good thing it was 3 episodes long, I could see this going the 26 episodes, which would have made me give this an even worse score.
Please don’t watch this; your time could be better spent doing so much more, even by rewatching some old anime stuff.

| A few years ago, this was an unpleasant surprise. I rented this despite of warnings I read about strange sexual references, which were not explicited in the said warnings (the AnimeNfo description does a better job). Big mistake, given that I intended to introduce some recent friends to anime. Lesson to be learnt: don't try something new AND introduce people to something new they might like *at the same time*. The odds that both work out at the same time a slim, so slim...
That being out of the way, Jungle has an ok plot, in the sense of one in which super powers are suddenly granted to an ortherwise ordinary kid, and in which various wierd characters pop out of nowhere, suddenly taking interest in that kid.

| Pretty funny. Similarities between the water spirit girl and Hyatt from excel saga get extra points.
It also is highly amusing when your friends come in during the dances! Hehe

| Hmm, the problem with this anime is its very disturbing nature. I mean, all anime has fan service (ok, most anime has fan service), but most of them don't have it with girls who appear to be about the age of 12. And the dances.... oh the dances......
Its vaguely amusing, but the characters are not really all that distinguishable, and the plot is... well there isn't much plot really. Its only an ova, after all.
I guess this is meant to be satirical, but it just feels disturbing. Especially when your friend who doesn't watch anime comes home drunk and walks in while one of the 12 year olds is......
urgh.

| Ein nettes OVA mit Standardstory und Charakteren, hat aber hier und da einige sehr witzige Momente und ist mit Fanservice und Ecchihumor nur so vollgestopft. Für gute 90 Minuten kriegt man mit Jungle de Ikou einen witzigen und abgedrehten Anime zu sehen der nicht mit einer besonders originellen Story oder interessanten Charakteren aufwarten kann aber dennoch für viel Kurzweil sorgt.

| For a certain subset of anime watchers, Jungle de Ikou may be perfect entertainment. Jungle de Ikou caters (or panders, if you prefer) to particular tastes, which I confess to share. My review will be very positive. However it seems fair to mention that a lot of people don't like this anime at all. My review contains few surprises; it will either reaffirm your interest in the title or strengthen your resolve to avoid it at all costs.
The plot is a trifle, functional but inconspicuous. Series creator Yuji Moriyama borrows heavily from Ranma 1/2 and its kind, cooking up a familiar blend of exaggerated physical comedy, romantic sparring, magical transformations, awkward sexual curiosity, and a lot of weirdness spread all around. Specifically, we are introduced to Natsumi, a 10-year-old Japanese schoolgirl whose father is a dashing archeologist. Returning from expeditions in New Guinea, he presents to his daughter a pair of ancient earrings. Natsumi falls asleep while wearing them, and in her dreams meets up with a grotesque pot-bellied man wearing an elephant tusk on his crotch. He introduces himself as the God of Soil, Ahamu. Ahamu gives Natsumi a freaky skull necklace and teaches her an ancient dance of power, consisting of much hip-shaking and breast-grabbing. Supposedly the dance will help Natsumi out of a jam later on. Ahamu also tells Natsumi to watch out for Ongo, the God of Destruction, who is due to start tearing things up in Tokyo pretty soon. Natsumi awakens and finds that she is wearing the skull necklace from the dream. More puzzling is the super deformed jungle kid staring her in the face. He turns out to be Ongo, but he looks so harmless that Natsumi disregards Ahamu's warning. Venturing out of Natsumi's house, Ongo gets a taste of culture shock but discovers that he likes the taste of whale meat. Using jungle magic, Ongo summons a whale...
And here Jungle de Ikou begins to show its flip side. For twenty minutes, the story has been wacky but relatively tame. One might imagine the plot to continue in the same manner, following Natsumi to school, at home, etc. But Jungle de Ikou is about release, and in the last portion of each episode, all restrained forces burst loose in astonishing larger-than-life fashion. Natsumi's mundane Tokyo life gives way to the rhythms of the jungle. As a tidal wave floods the city and a monstrous blue whale drifts between the submerged skyscapers, Ongo cries out "I didn't know it would be so big!" The audience is likely to have a similar reaction.
Once the jungle powers have wreaked sufficient havoc, the shy and tom-boyish Natsumi heaves a sigh - the sound of her dignity evaporating - and jumps hips-first into the magical dance. Initially mortified, Natsumi gradually surrenders herself to the beat, concluding her dance with an orgasmic shriek. The red light fades, the dust settles, and in natsumi's place stands the Goddess of Flowers, Mii. This occurs with pleasing regularity at the end of each episode.
Mii is the spirit of the jungle, the maternal goddess, the embodiment of love and warmth and, by all means, health and natural bounty. Moriyama's keen attention to detail renders these themes symbolically in Mii's character design. Well, to tell the truth, Mii's character design must be the least subtle aspect of Jungle de Ikou's three-episode parade of bright, bold goofiness. But if one cannot credit Moriyama with subtlety, at least the man's got guts. What other mainstream comedy farce endows its female lead with such startlingly great and pendulous breasts - and dares to clothe her in little more than a hankerchief? Anime is flooded with buxom bounce divas, but Mii trounces them all with a decisive wobbling shake of that massive and perpetually-well-oiled bosom. Amazing Nurse Nanako made headlines for its heroine's perky, hyperactive chest, but Jungle de Ikou multiplies the effect with sheer volume. It's as though Moriyama were trying to prove something, or maybe reacting to a dare. But enough said; Mii has enough cleavage for an entire third-world country.
And that's the heart of it. Surely readers have their minds made up by now. If your face is wrinkled into a raisin, avoid Jungle de Ikou at all costs. On the other hand, if any of this sounds remotely reasonable to you, heaven help you, and enjoy.
