A ghost fable. Spooky Kitaro is more or less for kid's, I for one never enjoyed the plots or liked the characters. The animation goes from bad to good as seasons go by. For those of you who like senseless, slightly humorous and cartoony anime, I guess you'll like this anime.
the story is about Kitaro who is, well a ghost- but nowhere near spooky. He likes humans and unlike most other supernatural creatures wants to help them. He has a band of loyal friends who help him on the way. most Ghosts have been taken from traditional Japanese culture and superstitions. Basically humans having troubles due to supernatural incidents leave a letter in his mail box, in a forest (no puns intended) and he tries to help them out. It's all about how he grows stronger and gets better at his job.
The anime has a load of drawbacks though, every episode follows almost the same pattern: kitaro gets into trouble somehow and his friends get worried and then they help him out. the plots sometimes don't make sense. some characters are ridiculously stupid and had very bad dubbing.
I rate the anime a 4/10. I admit not one of my favorites.
