I was really surprised to hear that a brand-new "Gegege no Kitaro" anime series was made. I did take a peek at episodes on my tablet. But when I got my new Roku TV, the experience was way better. It's wonderful to see Mana Inuyama, a new human friend who was most likely influenced by Yumeko Tendo from the anime series from the 1980s. Of course, in that series, I adore Kitaro and Yumeko. I'm beginning to ship Mana with Neko-Musume after watching a few episodes of this series. On the subject of favorites, so far, my favorite characters (good guy and bad guy) are: Nezumi-Otoko, Neko-Musume, Mana, Hanako of the Toilet, Zunbera, Agnes the young witch, and Hakusanbo and Yayoi. But wait a minute! Aren't yokai and humans forbidden to see each other?
Additionally, I thought it was fantastic that Masako Nozawa, Kitaro's original voice actor, was able to portray Kitaro's father, Medama Oyaji, following the death of Isamu Tanonaka. Speaking of Oyaji, it's amazing to see his appearance before resurrecting as one of his eyes. Overall, this is another must-see anime series. I now love the 1968, 1985, and 2018 "Kitaro" anime series. And again, I really wish that the company "Discotek" would license all of the TV series (including this one) and movies for North American DVD.
