A great and talented gentleman. It’s a crime Gegege no Kitaro has never been available to kids (and adults) in the west. Hope he is around for many more years.

Not for long! Gegege no Kitaro is coming soon!

I can’t wait to get this. It would be great if they released all the cartoons over here too.

One can only hope. There are decades of Mizuki Shigeru’s work just waiting for release!
