Ghost Stories

So the story is about some kids discovering new demons and unwrapping mysterious. With stereotypical characters.

The anime and plot itself was pretty cheesy and I probably would have dropped it weren't for the dub. For those who don't know this anime failed massively in japan so when it got the rights for a dub they just told the voice actors to do what ever they want.

It was dubbed into a style of a gag dub which included a lot of adult humour.

This in my opinion turned this boring trainwreck of an anime into a masterpiece.

Charleswright805 you must be out of your mind if you thought the original thing was good.

so yeah definitely check out the dub

Normally shows that have plots like this annoy me, where someplace is haunted and blah blah blah. But this one didn't I took the time to sit down and watch it and it was so funny it made chocolate milk come out of my nose! Though the characters are in elementary school, probably around fifth grade, there is so much adult humor in this show that I couldn't stop laughing. The dialog is well written, witty, and hysterical. The ongoing banter between Satsuki and Hajime are the best I've seen, and if there is any reason to watch the show it's for Hajime! It will make you remember the days when you and your friends went searching for buried treasure, or played games like that! Even though... I've never actually gone into a haunted school house, it would be rather like this show if I did. I recommend anyone who likes anime to grab your best buds, pop some popcorn...make sure your parents arn't home for all the sexual innuendos that you will hear, and be prepared to laugh until you have tears streaming down your cheeks.

This anime is a typical Ghostbusters/Scooby Doo anime by itself. I don't see why it's so highly lauded when the storyline is not that compelling. It's the dub that truly makes it worth watching. I can't describe how hilarious the dub is, only that they chose well when they decided to shred the script and go with their own thing. It was an experiment that paid off immensely because I was laughing every episode. The episodes themselves seemed to go by so quickly, I was having such a good time.

Don't bother with the Japanese subs for the "real experience", just watch another ghost story anime instead. Watch this dub because you need this hilarity in your life.

Ghost Stories is a masterpiece. Plain and simple. It's also one of the worst shows ever made. It's hard to explain.

In my homeland, the dubbed version of this anime is pretty popular along the kids in the airing era (early 2000s). It's scary to some extent, humorous dialogue in each episode, and the suspense behind the ghosts' origins also captivating. I just found out that the English dub version are hilarious so I rewatched the subbed and Eng dub version. It turns out both were great! The sub version (and I think the dubbed version in my country) follows the same narrative, but the dub version is crazy and turns many cliche dialogues into a gem. What makes me like this anime so much, is about the ghost details. They are something that really comes from Japan old school urban legends, and the anime pretty much convey how it works. For the past few years I tried to looking for another classic horror anime, but many titles also including action and (too much) gore, making Yamishibai probably is the one that resembles this anime more. It's sad knowing this anime series aren't popular in Japan, because for me, what's best from anime sometimes isn't lots of blood gushes or 20 minutes of action scenes, it is the classic story that everyone know the premise, but stir it into an experience that so genuine, it's memorable.
