Among the newest additions to Japan's anime menagerie is the eponymous star of "Gon" (TV Tokyo; Mon., 6 p.m.), a cute dinosaurlike critter who is totally instinctual, which, in the world he inhabits, makes him (her?) even more of a troublemaker than your average anime character.
The setting is "a mysterious world where all animals live together in harmony." One day there is a solar eclipse, and all the animals become afraid and start acting strangely. Ussu the bear and Jack the wolf, normally friends, get into a fight, and Ussu wins.
Then something even stranger drops out of the sky. It's Gon, a creature none of the animals has ever see before.
