(user posted image) Just downloaded episode 1 of this series.....I love horror with some supernatural themes and black comedy thrown in...sorta like the Addams Family or the Munsters....I mean kids disappearing down the drain in the shower or while on the toilet? Gotta see to believe...not vulgar in any way, shape or form...but creepy, funny and entertaining. The main character, Kitaro, is mysterious and funny in a macabre sort of way. This anime reminds me of Hallowween, Japanese style........give it a go and see what you think....you're in for a fun time.
Music is good too.....opening theme as well as closing. The animation art design is very nice...beautiful use of color and graphics. The fansubbers have done a fine job..love the text they are using, goes well with the anime itself....name of the group is
Oedipus. Looking forward to more....
P.S. Just wait til you get a load of Kitaro's dad.....funny !
