| Overview: | Mizuki Shigeru's beloved manga series "Gegege No Kitaro" has seen numerous small and big screen adaptations since the 1960s, but this latest 2007 film is without a doubt the most visually stunning effort yet. Directed by Motoki Katsuhide ("Drugstore Girl") with a screenplay from Habara Daisuke ("Hula Girls"), "Gegege No Kitaro" is set in a delightful world populated by Japanese folklore creatures called Yokai, demon spirits with supernatural powers. Yokai come in many shapes and forms, and the film brings them to life in a fanciful fusion of CG, animation, and live-action, with everything from cat spirits to walking eyeballs roaming through ancient forests and modern Japan.
