Review of Ghost Stories

NOTE: This is a review of the dub (which is an important distinction to make) Overall - 5: The dub of ghost stories is an officially licensed abridge series, and as far as abridge series go it's honestly not that great. A particular episode might be great, and another might not be. Also because it's officially licensed you won't have some of the things seen in other abridged series (like adding in pictures or big plot changes). Story - 6: I'm counting the humor to be part of this, otherwise this would be a lot lower. The Story is simple and episodic, and very predictable. It honestly sucks. The humor onthe other hand is the draw of the anime. Not all the jokes are great, they name drop far too many celebrities, but some of the jokes really nail it. I'm particularly fond of the rabbit episode.

Art - 2:
The art and effects are bad and look very aged, but that doesn't matter a whole lot when it come to the enjoyment of it.

Sound - 2:
The OST sucks and the quality of the sound effects and some of the characters is pretty bad (not sure I saw it in the highest quality possible). This doesn't take away from the enjoyment too much because you can hear what people are saying and the sound effects get the point across.

Character - 7:
The cat was annoying, and it was frustration how almost every episode had the characters forgetting about some obvious solution to their problems (the book).

The way the characters were handled worked quite well. It brought some interesting dynamics to the humor.

Enjoyment - 7:
Some parts had me laughing, even in the worst episodes there was always a line or two that worked. Like I said before it's not the best, but I did enjoy it enough to warrant a 7.
