Gegege no Kitarou (2007)

The classic tale of Gegege no Kitaro told yet again. The story is the usual in the Gegege no Kitaro series. Kitaro is a boy living in the Gegege Forest/Cemetery (lands where many Yokai roam) with his mostly dead father (who survives only in his eye), Sunakake Babaa, NekoMusume, and Konaki Jiji. One difference between this Kitaro and all of the others that came before him, is that this one has brown hair instead of the standard grayish silver.

The world of the supernatural is a terrifying place, especially when youkai decide to seek revenge and punish humans for their careless ways. Luckily, help is at hand in the form of a young ghoul named Kitarou, who has taken it upon himself to protect mankind from malevolent monsters. With the help of his walking, talking eyeball of a father and his various spiritual friends – including the tricky and rather smelly Nezumi Otoko, the tomboyish Neko Musume, and the elderly Sunakake Baba and Konaki Jiji – Kitarou defends the clueless humans from soul-stealing Yasha, demons of death and many, many more.
