Kitaro

You inherit your grandmother’s shack where ghosts chat between cracks in the floorboards. Then the glowing orb of all powers rolls through the door, and the yōkai army marches behind it. A man in a tattered haori follows to keep that world’s power from rotting this one. That outsider is Kitarō, and the orb pauses only when he’s watching.
