Such a good movie. They did a great job on the origins of Kitaro, the dad's a legend. I hope there's a spinoff about the dad now.

[DanielRamirez-iqrt]

NOOO!! IT'S FINALLY HAPPENING!!! HELP ME GYUUKI HELP ME!

I liked the recent anime until they insisted on redeeming that horrible Rei Isurugei when they should’ve killed him! Backstories don’t excuse going over moral lines persistently! Anime has to start killing villains regularly again (especially shonen and magical girl)
