| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Whoa, a demonic mouth in the back of her head. That's creepy. The supernatural entities from this series are really getting more dangerous too. I mean, a snake demon spirit. Neko still carries a good amount of action into this series. She's been impressive ever since she first appeared. |
 |
| Its weord tp see Kitaro become a tsundere for a moment...... 2018 really playing with the current society of humanity. |
| Into the Internet! |
| I'm having a lot of fun with this series. This episode was a blast and comfy and I'm really interested in the more linear plot they are foreshadowing since the beggining. Feel bad for the people who aren't watching this for what they're missing. This is probably this season's show I'm enjoying the most, alongside Captain Tsubasa and the new Lupin III series so far. |
| DBS fanboys MUST BE STOPPED. Just kidding, but I really think Kitaro doesn't deserve that 6.99/10 just because it's replacing Dragon Ball. I can't remember the last time I had so much fun with a monster-of-the-week format shonen, especially one so well executed. |
Your favorite anime is cringe. My favorite anime is a masterpiece.  |
| This is a fantastic anime. I'm not familiar with the source material but even though I'm watching a lot of seasonals this is one of my favorites. Why is it rated so low? Anyway I would've died had that been me my phone hasn't left silent mode in a long time... |

Riza_Kurta said: A lot of people came in and rated it low then set it to "dropped", just because it "replaced" DBS so Kitaro can get bad reputation. Like the review policy, ratings should only count after a user watches at least 10 episodes of a 50+ episode long Anime, but then again people can easily get past that by setting their "episodes watched" to 10 and then rating it, even if they haven't watched that many. It's their loss, though. At this point, I'm pretty tired of dealing with hypercritical people and hurt DBS fans- Over the past week I've seen, like, maybe three different reviews of GeGeGe No Kitaro rating it real low and criticizing it in a very general way (like they didn't even watched the first episode but just, like, glanced at the teasers and called it a day). It's nice to see that they got removed so hastily by the staff. |

| Nice episode. The show is getting even better(as it is it was good from the beginning). Lot of interesting Yokai we are seeing. |
 |
| Neko Musume is best girl of this series.....hands down! |
 |
| Even japanese knows the force of la chancla voladora, I'm liking this more. Also, the OP is catchy AF |
| No tomo malas decisiones, solo me gusta apoyar causas perdidas. Disfruté Mayoiga, Ou-sama Game, Evil or Live, Mirai Nikki, Big Order, Arifureta, Ex-Arm, Tesla Note, Shuumatsu no Harem y Platinum End nope les falle con esa, lo siento pero todos tenemos nuestros límites. Así de jodido es mi gusto en anime, ¡Y estoy pinche orgulloso de ello!  |
| Intro is freaking great, and the Outro is also pretty dang awesome. Anyway, telling Mana not to get involved now is a bit too late, shes too involved already now that she can see the Yokai everywhere. Her life can't go back to how it was before. But it was just to protect her so it's understandable. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| Yeah this is so underrated, the directing and the storyboards are on point, aswell as the OST. OP and ED are catchy. Good anime to watch on Saturday night. |
| The Anime Binge Is Life -PolarCyrus97 2k17- |
| Good ep with yokai and human drama about coexisting. Mana is cuter than neko musume but not hotter :) |
 |
| This isnt really my kind of anime, but Mana-chan is moe enough to keep me around, especially since she's starting to be accepted. |
 |
| Well, I think we all Neko Musume is waifu of the season. And based on all the fanart out there, Japan thinks so, too. |

It looks great and the characters are charming but it's mostly monster-of-the-week with really simple solutions. I only see 22 scores of 1 and most of the votes are around the 7 mark so it seems like a non-issue to me. |
| After 3 episodes this is my favourite anime of the season. I really like the colour palette of the show and even though the characters aren't complex, they are interesting and their interactions are fun to watch. |

I only see 22 scores of 1 and most of the votes are around the 7 mark so it seems like a non-issue to me. If people are rating it a 7 because of the "monster-of-the-week" set-up and "simple solutions", it's not very reasonable. Viewers should be going in knowing that this is an Anime centered around Japanese folklore that introduces new Yokai usually every week, and that it's rated G. GGGnK is set up so that the audience will have time to try to think of ways to solve incidents and teach lessons fit for all ages, especially with that social commentary. Generally, the problem-solving portion is aimed towards children and the social commentary is of course aimed toward an older audience that can comprehend the deeper meaning of each episode. The short response is, the reason for people giving it that rating is likely somewhere along these lines: "It's a decent anime, but since I'm not into a shounen, monster-of-the-week, rated G and simple solution type Anime, I'll give it a 7." It's like watching Pokemon knowing that it's about a little boy that goes on an adventure trying to become a Pokemon Master when you know that you're not into that kind of show. The issue for me is that I don't think people should go in and rate an Anime a lower score than it deserves if the chances of you not enjoying it in the first place were high, but it may just be hypercritical viewers, too. I get where you're coming from and have heard that argument before. The ratings on this site are MAL ratings. So a 7 tells you how it measures up to the MAL community. Nothing more so I wouldn't worry to much if you disagree. And I get that you feel it 'deserves' a higher rating but that's completely subjective. I rate it a 7, for now, because I enjoy it at a 7 level (which is my standard rating for animes). One shouldn't have to watch every PG-yokai-shounen in order to be qualified to place a fair rating and on a similar note one shouldn't need to rate CGI-animated shows only against other CGI animated shows. |

| A nice episode with a message of coexistence and tolerance. Also, I wonder if the references to the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games will be a recurring theme. |
| Mana is now more deeply involved in youkai elements! nice to see Kitarou have more youkai allies! hope they continue to grow more character allies! cuz somehow I feel that Kitarou is a bit weak since he's small...lolz 4/5. |
 |
| Omg, I fall in love with it more and more <3 Great episode. |

Because it's "just a kids show", and besides... with a monster-of-the-week formula, and those never fare very well here. Nevertheless, it is painful to see that this show that does nothing bad given its main target audience and purposes is rated this low. And c'mon we all know it isn't just DBS fans who are still mad this show took its time slot the ones giving it low scores. |
| By the way, I'm still amazed how good this is looking considering this is a Toei production, it almost feels it comes from another studio. |

Theres nothing wrong with monster of the week stuff as long as it's kept interesting and creative. Cop shows do it all the time (criminal minds, ncis, law and order) and even some anime (detective conan) and those go on forever with great episodes throughout. |

| Nice spirit gun man. |
| The kid got taken. Neko. Mana. Tantanbo appears. Dat mouth in head. They got Mana. She is the 13th vessel. Neko split her open. How lucky that Mana is directly under Kitaro. Reigan! Neko is blushing. Mana and Kitaro are friends. Dat ending. |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| If only the first anime adaptation from 1968 was subbed, it'd help with understanding Kitaro a little better, specifically making his powers feel less arbitrary, and better explaining everything about his friends, rather than just being like "Here they are, you already know and love them". With 97 episodes, things will probably be explained fully soon, but it feels like they completely expect the viewer to already be acquainted with the series. Otherwise, this was another good episode. |
Opinions are opinions, and differing opinions can co-exist. 🙂 But I don't do debate, life's too short to spend time debating people.  |
