By Epic Dope Staff | November 6, 2021

It’s been more than five years since Shigeru Mizuki passed away, but his works still remain popular among the fantasy and comedy-horror genres.

Shigeru Mizuki’s Gegege no Kitaro, and Akuma-kun franchises, have revealed a part of their upcoming anime film and series installments.

The first one is titled ‘Kitaro Tanjo: Gegege no Nazo’ (Kitaro Birth: the Mystery of Gegege).

The visual shows someone’s fingers are covering something. It is most likely Kitaro’s fingers covering a part of his face, probably his left eye socket, which is hollow.

The second visual is of the new Akuma-kun anime series that will be based around the story’s iconic characters but with a refreshing animation style.

Like any other hero, Shingo or Akuma-kun strives for peace among humanity and wants everyone to live happily.

It is so exciting that the younger generation can sit and enjoy these stories with their parents or grandparents who were fans of Mizuki’s work.
