ginga densetsu weed!

edited October 2013 in Akita (秋田犬)
Has anyone else seen this series? The main character is a not-so brindle akita/ kishu mix! Summary:
Several years after the events of Ginga: Nagareboshi Gin(see below), Gin's son is born in the Japanese Alps. After the puppy's mother Sakura dies from an illness, an English Setter named GB pledges to bring him to the Ōu Mountains and reunite him with his father. GB decides to name the pup Weed, after the English word for wild plant, because he is "small but powerful".[1] Upon arriving at Ōu, the pair learn that a monstrous creature is wreaking havoc and Ōu has fallen into turmoil. Gin is away, on a desperate search for his mate. Weed, GB, and other Ōu soldiers meet a team of dogs led by the German shepherd Jerome. Jerome explains that the monster is a mutated dog that escaped from a laboratory after killing severalscientists. Weed's group joins them and they succeed in killing the monster, though lose several soldiers in the process, among them Gin's old ally, Smith.watch or read to find more!

  • I didn't care for the Weed series very much. The Gin one was much better, silly, but still a lot better.
  • True weed whispered about killing hougen up till the very end, whilst gin just sliced akakabuto's head off. So much even GOD said, "that's it, you're starting to piss me off" and bug zapped hougen. I guess gin always will be the true leader of ohu.
  • I loved GNG. :) The Kai brothers were my favorite, with John being my second.. Named one of my kitties Kagetora, lol.
  • Haha GDW/GNG is actually where I first found out about Kai Ken. It was back when I was a kid, I saw it & the ninja Kai's were my favorite characters so I started researching the breed. I really wanted on then 10 years later I got Yucca :) she definitely lives up to the ninja Kai's legend
  • I thought The ninjas were shikoku inu and kishu inu

    Lucky for you! I don't know if my dog is part kai ken, but she beat a kangal that was charging me so maybe, yet she's like 51 pounds!

  • I watched it as well. I like GNG more, but man it was silly lol. I always found the colour shift for Kurotora a bit weird.

    @tarokun Yeah one of the ninja clans were Kishu, but the other one is unknown, possibly made up
  • I bought the first episode from Weed and didn't like it at all. I watched GNG first time when I was about 3-4 years old and I have watched it like 1000 times :D. I also have the uncut version of it. And this is true, I didn't know that kai ken was in this anime when I decided that I want kai. Oh and GNG was very popular in Finland in the 90's and many who are born in the 80's know it. And when people ask me what breed my dogs are, I of course say that they are kais. The usual answer is that it doesn't ring a bell and when I ask have you watched GNG and if they have I answer that the tiger brothers are kais. And then they know what kind of breed it is :D.
  • @ kyleleet look here. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shikoku_(dog)
    I think that they were only shikoku inu in the anime.
  • haha my bf loves this series. My daughter loves Weed, and has all the figurines from it. Although she calls Weed ' Yaaa' from the opening song that starts the episode.
  • You let your kid watch this show? Dang, kid's hardcore!

    P.s. dun dun dun dun dun dun YAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!
  • I do dislike how weed and gin are blue not silver, and have no stripes.
  • lol we skip any fighting, its still a bit full on for her. She loves all that kind of stuff though. She thinks she is going to marry Haku from spirited away haha shes pretty cool
  • Lol, at least your dog isn't a serial licker who runs at 39mph, my dog just loves children. The sound of a baby crying drives her nuts because she wants to go comfort it.
  • I thought The ninjas were shikoku inu and kishu inu
    There was the big ninja clan I think they were called the iga ninjas but I thought the tiger brothers were their own clan.
  • They weren't a clan they were just abandoned puppies that were strong.
  • GNG has a special place in my heart. I grew up reading the manga and the TV series came out when I was about 6. Now my kids watch it pretty religiously and my older boy is into the books. That show triggered my NK hunting interest. GNG and Shiroi senshi yamato are my all time favorite, dont like weed too much.
  • I know, I grew up with weed, but if they made a gng remake with ginga densetsu weed animation, that would be awesome!
  • There is a gng weed animation. You can see it on you tube.
  • Woah where?! What is it called.

    I think the young kai were kai mix so maybe that is why they look different and some have patches?

    The one on right see.. Maybe they have a hound or any mix of other dog as they never showed who was their mother? I haven't seen all of the weed anime so maybe they did a flash back or show her?

    I watched all the Gin series on the anime loved it! :D I saw some of weed it is OK, but not as good as Gin reminds me a lot of old classic anime I loved to watch.

    Mom watched Kimba the white lion when she was a kid so no wonder I like the classics. hehe
