I found an anime film on YouTube by searching the Japanese characters. This had Japanese subs and a function to auto translate to all sorts of languages but that never works well. The auto English was nearly incomprehensible.
And the plot was hard to follow too. It kept replaying this scene of this girl - Hana - leaving the Yokai world and trying to return to her mom but her mom forgot her and she’s been replaced by some changeling. It’s a long sequence - like 5-10 mins - and this was interlaced with cat girl running faster than trains searching for something and taking random jobs selling stuff.
I was thinking this was some mash up cut, made to look like an almost two hour flick but then things started to fal into place. There’s this mirror dimension where a cgi Demon ala Terminator 2 traps the girl and Kitarō and his dad (the nekkid resident eyeball). The girl was like a horcrux for a major demon of lovecraftian Kaiju proportions who erupts all over japan. The yokai and human world mix - mass hysteria.
I wish I could’ve followed it better. It was awesome though.
This must've been recent because there’s a 50th anniversary celebration in the middle where Kitarō and cat girl meet all their incarnations from previous series including their first B&W drawing from ‘68 (the 50th was the 7th series in 2018).
It was cool to see the anime after the live action version. The live action seemed to capture the spirit of the anime and the characters surprisingly well.
No sword fights but Kitarō can take a magic hair and make into a solid like sword. Not DOOM recommended. No way y’all could follow this.
