Episode review: Hakaba Kitaro 1
My impression of the first episode from Hakaba Kitaro was odd to say the least. Someone who works in a hospital comes across a dead body. That isn’t anything unusual in a hospital except for the fact that this dead person is still alive. The guy is asked to find the cause and the lead ends at the temple next to him where happen to live new neighbors.
The neighbors are a pregnant couple; however they are both not under the living and part of the ghost tribe which is on the point of extinction. In fact they are the only one left and suffer from a terrible disease. This is why they came to ask for help in the hospital. The guy is very scared and wants to report his neighbors but before he is able to do so, both of them die, leaving a newborn son with one eye in this world. The male mummy ghost however manages to give one of his eyes a body and to look after his son. The neighbor eventually decides to take the last living descendant in to raise him; however he is not aware of his real father still being there as well. The story continues when the boy named Kitaro is somewhat older and creepier. He visits some place every night and his adoption dad wants to know where he went. He manages to get a ticket and follow his adopted son, who warned him not to go. The guy doesn’t listen and ends up in hell. Unfortunately he only has a one way ticket….
