One of those animes that flies under the radar, although it's been around for decades under different iterations. It deserves far more attention than it gets. When I first gave it the 3 eps test, I almost dropped it as being too cartoony, but the characters made me decide to give it a few more shots.

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (16/97 eps)
For a child, I can see this show being one of the best on TV. As an adult, however, the episodes are usually enjoyable but can be a bit hit or miss.

I never grew up with Gegege no Kitarou so the entire idea of yokai was new to me. Though, that never decreased how much I liked the show or my understanding. On the other hand, the older watchers are more than likely watching it (at least in some ...
