This is a compilation of episodes 5 and 6, Masaki Tsuji's adaptation of one of the best remembered of the manga stories. Kitaro is voiced by the prolific Masako Nozawa, who would go on to play countless other anime roles, including the main characters in Galaxy Express 999 and Dragon Ball. She returned to voice Kitaro for the 2008 series Hakaba Kitaro, and in the 2018 series of GeGeGe no Kitaro (available to stream on Crunchyroll) she has returned yet again, but this time as the voice of Medama Oyaji.
