An adaptation of the infamous GeGeGe no Kitaro manga. I'm vaguely familiar with the franchise, so I figured it would be fun to watch this '80s TV adaptation. And fun it was, though you have to be a little lenient, as the effects and costumes are extremely basic. Understandably so, as there was quite a bit of fantasy lore to cover. Some of the characters looked like school-play rejects, but there are so many fantasy elements that it's only normal corners had to be cut. The pacing is extremely high too and the film covers quite a bit of ground in merely 60 minutes. A fun fantasy outing, somewhat charming, but hardly cinematic. Read all
