Behind the Scenes
The flick is in good hands with Gou Koga directing at Toei Animation and Hiroyuki Yoshino handling the screenplay. And for all you character design fans out there, Touko Yatabe is on point. 👌 Mizuki's Legacy Lives On
This movie is just one of four "big projects" celebrating Shigeru Mizuki's 100th birthday. The legend himself passed away in 2015 at a ripe old age of 93. Another hype project to watch out for is the new Akuma Kun anime, hitting Netflix on November 9. 🎂🎉
A Look Back
In case you missed it, the sixth GeGeGe no Kitarō anime dropped in 2018, taking over Dragon Ball Super's time slot. It ran until March 2020 with a cool 97 episodes. Crunchyroll had our backs with streaming as it aired. 😎
The OG voices, Miyuki Sawashiro and Masako Nozawa , are back for this film. But here's the twist: Nozawa's credited as "Kitarō's Father" instead of Medama Oyaji. Intriguing, right? Mizuki's Epic Journey
Mizuki's manga journey started way back in 1959 as Hakaba Kitarō. Fast forward to today, and we've got seven TV series, including one Hakaba Kitarō anime, several animated flicks, and even two live-action movies. It's all about this supernatural dude who walks the line between our world and the spooky one. 🧟♂️🌟
So, mark your calendars for November 17th, peeps! Kitarō's coming to haunt the big screen. 📽️👻
