GeGeGe No Kitarou (Series rating: 7,5/10)

Do you ever get the feeling that you are being watched? Do supernatural things keep happening around you? Are you afraid of something that stalks you in the night? You might just have a youkai problem. While not many people believe in their existence, they are indeed real and some are even dangerous. But you can you call for help? Well, if you write a letter to the Youkai Post, you might just be visited by Kitarou. Kitarou has the job of protecting both humans and youkai from each other. When Mana writes a letter to Kutarou asking for help she begins an adventure that might just save, or destroy, the entire world.

This is the latest entry in the GeGeGe No Kitarou franchise from 1960. This new series is a bit darker then the others. I mean color wise. Kitarou has always been pretty dark. The one major difference is the female youkai Nekomusume, who is older and more mature in this series. There are so many Japanese monsters in this show that if you enjoy seeing them this is the show for you. I also like how some of them have weaknesses that only a human can exploit. While Kitarou is powerful he sometimes needs help in defeating the monster of the week, not to mention the final bosses of the 4 arcs (Backbeard, Nanashi, Kyuubi and Nurarihyon. Quite an enjoyable series, but it does drag on in a few places. Also, you might be wondering why nobody has killed Ratman yet, even though half the incidents in the show are his fault. While he is a terrible friend and even worse person, he does actually have a heart and does pull his weight when things get serious. You might hate him, but he is the ultimate survivalist who will not give up, not even when Kitarou himself does.
