| Anime Summary / Synopsis: Gegege no Kitaro mostly deals with Japanese folklore and myths, but its meant more to entertain than scare. The English equivalent may be something such as Casper the Ghost, so the target age group is ideally 12-13 year olds or younger. Kitaro is the main character. He, like all his friends, is a sprit/demon creature based on popular Japanese folklore. He only has one eye (his hair covers the other half) and has various abilities such as the ability to shoot his spiny hairs like arrows and generate electrical current to shock his enemies. Some of his “interesting” friends include Neko Musume (Cat Girl), Nezumi Otoko (Rat Boy), Sunakake Babaa (Sand Throwing Hag) and Konaki Jijii (Crying Old Man). However, they are not evil creatures, but instead try to build peace between humans and demons. Each episode often involves Kitaro and his gang protecting human children from being preyed upon by evil demons. GeGeGe no Kitaro anime screenshots:
