With episode #4 available (compliments of the Doremi & Shi-Fa fansub groups), I find myself really enjoying this series. This is a very silly and very funny series that is something for all ages! The twelve-year-old Futaba is a precocious and hotheaded Amazon, willing to drop kick any ‘stupid’ boy or statue with only the slightest provocation. And the statue Gar-kun is a perfect ‘straight-man’ to her emotional and irrational behavior. Gar-kun’s deadpan tone and word-for-word practical approach at first drive Futaba crazy, but then she finds out that he can be pretty cool (not that she will admit it) and his behavior begins to change under her ever-changing guidance. Being a stone statue, he does not seem to mind being abused by Futaba - be it drop kicked, hung over the porchstep or having the characters “ STUPID STATUE” painted on his back as punishment. He just never loses his ‘cool’! And his abilities are pretty strange – laser eyes, teleport, flying skills, talk to animals and an ability to sense if there is any trouble within the village. And the bad guys are all pretty simple and good hearted - just as willing to help out as to try to start a fight. This is a very charming series – filled with lots of smiles and silly giggles – as it tells the tale of the adventures of Futaba and her pet ‘rock’ (errr – Gargoyle), her big brother, parents and young friends.
