Kitaro and the Millennium Curse (2008) reunites the live action cast from the first film and continues with the Yokai action. I decided what I love about the Yokai world is that it's like the Star Wars Cantina on steriods. Or better put, the Cantina is like a postcard of the Yokai world in space.
The 2nd film has more magical fights. The gang has to reassemble a quintet of magic instruments to banish a mermaid ghost that just broke free from a millennium of Yokai jail. There's an evil Yaksha with a sword-blade violin bow. The Ratman unleashes brutal fart attacks. There's a deer Yokai that flings feces like shotgun blasts while yelling 'Feces!' There's a old witch duel between a sand witch (I know, pun city, right? Nope, that doesn't even work in Japanese) and a snake witch where one witch reaches down the shirt of the other witch and grabs her sagging tit. There's a wall Yokai, which is basically a wall with hands and feet that literally plasters over opponents.
Kitaro is a demon baby with one eye so he lets his purple bang cover half his face. His dad is like a mini nekkid Resident, an eyeball on a body, who sometimes stays in Kitaro's eye socket. Kitaro has magic sandals that fly like missiles, a b&w fuzzy vest that can protect him, be thrown in attacks and shoots lightning, and he can shoot his hair like needles until he goes bald.
There's no sword fights but there is some sword brandishing. But there's a violin-sword bow vs. magic vest wrapped magic cane which is a very satisfactory replacement. DOOM recommended.
Here's a taste:
I'm trying to find the anime but Crunchyroll has it locked up tight.
