ANN page (http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=8955) (granted, not much to see there)
Couldn't locate a pre-existing thread for this show. It's the latest Noitamina series and has the same art director as Mononoke (and it shows). Most interestingly, perhaps, it's an adult-oriented take on Gegege no Kitarou (which is also currently getting good ratings as a children's series).
I have no experience with Gegege in any of its forms, but I was quite taken with the first episode of Hakaba Kitarou. It's very dark, subversively funny and full of all kinds of fun weird stuff. I'm looking forward to future episodes... and I'm kind of interested in seeing the other Kitarou anime now, if only to compare the two.
