Kitaro is a classic anime/manga property, but what I appreciate about this adaptation is that it updates things and takes on more modern themes. I wouldn't expect anything too complicated, it's still an ooky-spooky family show if you're into that sort of thing. I mean, it's a big reason why I'm still watching 40+ episodes in. The level of ambition and commentary the show attempts to touch upon is impressive in my opinion. It's still strong on its own, but I like how it gives a lens into some of the issues in Japan and how they're being talked about in mainstream media like this.
