Spooky Kitaro: Kitaro's Ghost Train is quite the interesting piece from Mamoru Hosoda, though it's not your typical feature film. Released in '99, it stands out as a 3D experience, mostly found in theme parks like Hanayashiki. The blend of adventure and animation creates this almost whimsical yet eerie atmosphere that fits nicely with the Kitaro franchise. The pacing is brisk, fitting for a park attraction, but there's a charm in how it captures that fleeting thrill of ghostly encounters. The practical effects are pretty engaging, giving life to the supernatural elements without overwhelming the viewer. It's a unique slice of Kitaro's world that feels like a fun detour rather than a main event. Definitely different from standard anime films, that's for sure.
