The official website for the Kitarō Tanjō: Gegege no Nazo (The Birth of Kitaro: The Mystery of GeGeGe) anime film announced on Friday that the film is getting a new screening in theaters in Japan starting on October 4.
The new screening will have the title Kitarō Tanjō: Gegege no Nazo Shinseiban (True Birth Version).
The latest GeGeGe no Kitarō anime — the sixth television anime incarnation — premiered in April 2018 and replaced Dragon Ball Super in the same timeslot.
Mizuki’s manga, which began in 1959 under the name Hakaba Kitarō, has spawned seven television series (including one Hakaba Kitarō anime), several animated movies, and two live-action films.
