| Everything old just kept on returning. I mean... Sakura, Dragon Ball, Yugioh, Digimon, Captain Tsubasa and even Pokemon had that re-imagined episode 1 movie. Is this like... the era of remakes on Hollywoods finally rubbing off anime? Not that I'm complaining if it's good. Also holy shit, Goku's VA has been voicing Kitarou since the 1968.... Well at least they returned her for a role. |

| Whoa...I remember watching this from waaayyyyy back....... |
 |
| Nice, I'm looking forward to this for sure. Never had the chance to watch the original though. I'm guessing this means DBS is ending but it's also possible that it could move to another air time. |
 |
| Finally a proper horror anime. |
 |
| finnaly a real horror anime, not a jumpscare.... |

| Already looks better than the 2007 one. |

GeGeGe no Kitaro is kid friendly, sure it can be spooky at times but it's still kid friendly. The Adult one is Hakaba Kitaro just because it kid friendly, doesn't mean you can't make it creepy... also hakaba kitaro was the prequel... sure gegege kitaro is milder, but pretty sure both has same demographic (if we are talking about manga, anime sure make it even more family friendly)... |
