Gegege No Kitaro 7am doodling, for context on the last 2 little doodles I have added the clip that had me cackling for days

Ge, ge, gegege no geee... 👹🐱👁️ (🐀)

I particularly love Kitaro with silver/grey hair! He looks so cute like that, even if him with brown hair is equally as appealing, I can't help but prefer the OG option; same goes for Neko Musume! I like the purple hair approach but I LOVE the OG black short hair with the undercut, it looks so cute on her... I did end up giving her hair a purple hue regardless hehehe

why is 3ds swapdoodle so fun to do manga studies on. and why is getakichi so fun to draw

I think Kitaro would like any holiday that celebrates monsters. I am excited to carve a pumpkin this year and felt like drawing some spooky kids having fun with it.

The character sheet for Toshio Furukawa’s role in the upcoming Birth of Kitaro movie has been revealed 💛🩶

Although the staff play coy by describing him merely as ‘a mysterious boy’, this is no doubt a younger Ratman! It’s possible Kitaro won’t learn his name during the movie events however, and thus the mystery. Very curious to see how involved he’ll be! Kitaro has had quite a long past with him after all.

They’ve made some tweaks to his design here which interest me - it’s probably in an effort to give him a more youthful look, but his head isn’t as egg-shaped, and his ears far less pointed.

This supports a pet theory I’ve had based on the 2018 series, which is:

Hanyou predominantly start off looking human-ish, and become progressively more youkai-like as time passes.

Basically, I figure their human cells would die off and be replaced by the youkai portion that continues to persist.

Is this to explain why I draw Reiji with rounded human ears?? Maybe!!! But I also appreciate good lore expansion.

Gegege no Kitaro (1996) The Movie: Obake Nighter

"Hmm, playing a game against youkais means that if you lose, you forfeit your soul. Is that all right with you?" "I don't think they even care about losing their souls." "So, let's have the game tonight. All right?" "You're sure... You don't mind forfeiting your souls?"

There’s this Gegege no Kitarō commercial where Nezumi Otoko does a similar face and it’s equally as jarring on him. Hold on, lemme try to find it
