Hi
Hello good morning, yesterday I created a Twitter account of Gegege's Out Context, it's called @GegegeOut if you have something random about GeGeGe no Kitarō, send me a message to that account by DM, thanks
Mana
After re-watched episode 97 of the 6th series, a scene confused me. While Mana was trying to bring Kitarou back from the Land of Unbeing, she said: "I love you for trying so hard". She really fell in love with him, didn't she?
Anouncement: All the movies will be aired on Youtube from April to May.

A few more stories that I would like to see adapted in GGGnK 2018.
A few months ago I did a post presenting some stories from the Kitarō manga that I would like to be adapted for the current anime. Taking into account that more than 50 episodes have been confirmed and we are already going to 41st, I believe that at least two or three stories from the past post will be adapted, especially with the large amount of original chapters.
So I dedicate this post to the possibility of Toei making a sequel to this series in the next decade, which I long for, after all this concept of yōkai going through ostracism in the 21st century was sensational and I frankly think they could adapt the chapters of other manga ignored by them instead of repeating the same old stories.
Without further ado ...
Story: "The Birth of Kit…
GGGnK 2018 Anime Notice
The GeGeGe no Kitaro 2018 anime will go on a one-week hiatus again, like it did on September 9th about two months ago.
As of now, this is what the schedule looks like for the next three weeks:
November 25, 2018: Emperor Backbeard airs.
December 2, 2018: Broadcast pause.
December 9, 2018: Broadcast resumes; The Witches of Fate airs.
Stories I'd like to have adapted in GGGnK 2018.
AT: The chapters are being adapted, will be scratched.
Let's get right into it:
Story: "Hand"- Reason: Well it's a macabre story that was only adapted in the 1968 anime (and because I like La Seine).
- Title: If the "living thing" is a hand - "Kitarō Murdered!? Vampire La Seine" - or if the "living thing" is a geta - "Night of Living Geta" (Ittan-Momen approves this title).
- Character that can not miss: Neuzmi-Otoko (he would be very covenient)
Character that can not appear: Neko-Musume and Mana (It's a pity that their enmity lasted so little)
- Story: "Kami-sama"
- Reason: I would pay (but not much) to see a fight between Medama-Oyaji and Kemedama.
- Title: "The Meeting of Two Eyes"
- Character that can not miss: Neko-Musume (To see her bald)
- Character that can…

Where does Eyeball Father really hide?
I found this image when I was looking around on Google.
We know that Kitaro is missing his left eye, so when his dad pops out of his hair, is he really hiding in his hair or in his eye socket?
Nezumi's Mama
You know, before I watched "Gegege no Kitarō: Jigoku-hen" (episodes 109-115 of the 80s series), I envisioned Nezumi's human mother a pretty kitchen maid looking like her:
Being a "halfie" (half human/yokai). I sometimes thought his mother was a beautiful human woman seduced in bed by a rat-yokai like an incubus. And the poor girl tries to hide her pregnancy from the other servants and master - Pregnant out of wedlock is greatly frowned upon in Japan. And worse after the birth, people would have branded her a witch for bearin' a halfie child. So without thinkin' and because of motherly love, she row away in the night. And on an island, she just....*sniff* died of sickness & exhaustion; it's my hypothesis for here: "In the most official versi…
YouTube Bans
More "Gegege" channels are being shut down on YouTube. I do hope within a year (or two) Kitaro would get a North American DVD release. So any fans out there on Wikia and Facebook, if you want that to happen - DON'T watch episodes on YouTube and try to be patient.
Why "don't watch"? 'cause I was told "every time you watch a Kitaro series on YouTube or something, you vote for no official release. Every viewing on one of those videos sends a message to companies. They check those things And every time you watch one you are letting them no that you don't support an official release."
Of "Tōge no yōkai"
You know I'm torn about whether to love the 60s or 90s version of "Tōge no yōkai" (the Buruburu story). Buruburu cunningly made a move in episode #90 of the 1990s version by concealing herself within Nezumi-Otoko’s stomach during the escape of his prisoners, including Kitaro and Nezumi-Otoko. Tsurubebi, also known as oni-bi or demon fire, expelled Buruburu, who was struggling within and escaping up Nezumi-Otoko's esophagus. She hates light, including firelight.
Nezumi's agony causes me great concern, making me feel as if I am a character within the narrative. Though I still love the 60s version, I've already written it down on my "favorite episodes" list. I believe in "so it is written, so it shall be."
"Yōkai Species" category page
Who thinks there should be a "Yōkai Species" category page? I mean there are already pages for Bakeneko, Yuki-onna and so on
Finished 80s; now to the 70s
Hey fans, last night I had finished the 80s series last night, despite missing episodes. Tonight (or maybe Friday again) I'll be on the '71 series. I just hope the first 12 episodes of the 1996 episodes are still on YouTube (Takachiiro's channel) by the time I finish. And I still hope episodes are banned when I get back from Vancouver in July.
Crazy Concepts for Fan-fic. Stories
I have got two crazy concepts for fan-fiction stories:
- 1 : One is based on fantasies I have had (as explained here) I'm an OC and a western alley to human/yokai peace. I'm a traveling writer who had made friends with the team: Kitaro, his father, Neko-Musume and Nezumi-Otoko. I even have a little dog who is like a girl version of Tintin's Snowy and I have my two editors and agent accompany me. Of course as some friends do, we (Nezumi and I) would banter each other. But I would usually end up worrying about him - my true feelin's never show..I 'm have a crush on him!
- 2: A "next generation" story about Ohana (daughter of Kitaro & Yumeko) & Chuuko (daughter of Nezumi-Otoko & Caroline) and their very own band of "yokai busters"! Unlike their fat…
Just a question...
How are we supposed to be spelling "Kitaro" throughout the wiki? Kitaro, Kitarō, or Kitarou?
Or any long ō's for that matter?
Favorite Episodes
After watchin' all the 65 episodes of the '68 version of Kitaro, I have many favorite episodes which would be too long for this blog. So here are my top 10 :
· Yokai Castle (妖怪城) because of little Tomiko-chan and...
· Kagami Jiji (鏡爺) because of Kaori-chan and that "glad-to-see-you" scene when Nezumi-Otoko bails Kitaro out of jail. ^^;
· Cat Master (猫仙人) because...well I'm a cat-lover ^^;
· Witch Doll (魔女人形) because I am into witches.
· Neko-Musume and Nezumi-Otoko (猫娘とねずみ男) because I love Neko-Musume and I love that funny scene where she chased Nezumi around the room. And also...
· Yokai-juu (妖怪獣 - both parts) because Tanuki are one of my favorite yokai.
· Hakusanbō (白山坊) because Hakusanbō is kind of a fox-spirit and I love foxes. Also I love how Nezumi-Ot…
English fan-site
If I bone-up on computer lessons and site makin', I oughta make a "Gegege" fan-site in English with HQ character/episode screencaps...I only found this site in Japanese
Episode Help
As you all know, I was sortin' the photos by episode. And I need help from those who had watch the 5 series to identify the episode the picture came from
Crazy Fantasy
I now admit, I been havin' fantasies that I'm an OC in Kitaro - a western link to human/yokai peace. And I'm friends with the team: Kitaro, his father Neko-Musume and Nezumi-Otoko. I have a little dog who is like a girl version of Tintin's Snowy.
Of course as some friends do, we (Nezumi and I) would banter each other. But I would usually end up worrying about him - like in the 1968 version of the episode "Ridge Yokai"...My true feelin's never show..I 'm have a crush on him! I mean for me to love someone that any other other woman would be afraid to look at?!
Discotek licensing Gegege no Kitaro
This is what I found on tumblr.com :
I hope if Discotek licenses GeGeGe no Kitaro that the DVD releases will some what resample the japanese releases. If you want them to be sure to ask.
Email sales@discotekmedia.com
Let's hope it happens. I have the manga - the Drawn and Quarterly's English edition. And I have the live-action film on DVD.
Gegege Couples and why?
While watching (and gathering info on) Kitaro, I notice slight hints on possible relationships between characters and so, this is for all to discuss opinions of couples within the series and why (if possible)...I'm a hopeless romantic. ^^;
As for pairings I like, I had gotten confused whether to ship Kitaro with Hana ( from the movie Gegege No Kitarou: Nippon Bakuretsu!!) or Kitaro with Yumeko-chan. The same with Nezumi-Otoko and Maya, also from Nippon Bakuretsu. I prefer Kitaro x Yumeko and "Nezuline" - Nezumi and Caroline from the film "Gegege no Kitarō: Gekitotsu!! Ijigen Yōkai no Daihanran".
"Why do I support these pairings?" you say. Well, I just thought...Kitaro x Yumeko are sweet together and I have a thing for main hero/main heroine …
The film "Gegege no Kitarō: Gekitotsu!! Ijigen Yōkai no Daihanran"
Anybody seen that film? I would love to see a sub-titled version. A reason to see the film is Nezumi-Otoko & Caroline...Yeah I ship them, though it would it be considered pedopilia. Like I had said, to me, she's (Caroline) the only one to love him despite his looks and almost-bio-hazardous stink.
Help!
I cannot find the lyrics of the song "Yokai Yokochou" (Gegege no Kitaro Ending), and I really need it! Please, someone, help!!
Thanks,
Naru Kaiyo.
