[[http://www.ghostmessenger.co.kr/ Ghost Messenger]] is a 2009 South Korean Animation, made by Studio Animal.
Here's the story: Ghost Messengers are super-powered agents from Myung-gye(World of Death). The World of Death is a digitalized world with cutting-edge technologies that control and manage the life and death of all living things based on its elaborate systems. Armed with a special mobile phone(Soul Phone) used to stay in contact with his commanding officer and operator on missions or dispatches to different spiritual realms, Ghost Messengers are also able to download weapons like beam swords, projectile weapons, and miraculous beasts via their phone, hopefully giving them an edge in the fight. Which is all for the good, since the world of the invisible is becoming increasingly unstable, and the fantastical, mythological demons and evil spirits are threatening the strict balance of life on Earth.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Little Kang-lim. Also Yeomra-daewang.

* TheCameo: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZRsMCjTVcb0 The Opening]] features a man who looks a lot like [[GeorgeWBush G.W.Bush]]. In fact, it'll probably be him.

* ReligiousAndMythologicalThemeNaming : Ghost messenger's names are based on characters from KoreanMythology.

* WhiteHairedPrettyGirl : Bari.

* CellPhone: Called Soul Phones, they are the Ghost Messenger's main weapon, with various functions like trapping evil ghosts(and souls), becoming weapons(Kang-lim's phone is seen turning into a LaserBlade) and summoning phantoms for fighting. [[SwissArmyWeapon Oh, they can also be used to send text messages.]]
** Bari's weapon seems to be a subversion: it looks like a fan. It is not known whether it is transformed soul phone or other kind of weapon.

Since most of existing Korean animation are focused on kids, Ghost Messenger is one of the most expectant animation for South Korean watchers.

** Bari-nangja: Fan Crane
** Sara: Guns&Roses(looks like a half-phone, half-gun device)

** Also doubles as real-life example: Ghost Messenger's soul phones have keyboards on them, due to animation being made in the 2009's(when most South Koreans used that type). However with the advent of smart phones, most Koreans nowadays are carrying smart phones with them(with only LCD screen), thus making soul phones... a lot ''less'' cooler.
* OlderThanTheyLook: According to WordOfGod, Myung-gye's people ages more slowly and ''[[TheCuriousCaseOfBenjaminButton in reverse]]''. Yeomra-daewang, myung-gyes ruler and oldest inhabitant(exact age is unclear), looks like a little girl.
