The official website for the new GeGeGe no Kitarō anime series revealed on Sunday that the Kitarō Tanjō: Gegege no Nazo (Kintarō Birth: The Mystery of Gegege) anime film will open in Japan in fall 2023.
The visual features the full form of Kitarō’s father, and includes the tagline, “The man of the ghost clan, here.”
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.
