Review of Ghost Stories
Most people 22 years ago would have claimed that shows like; Evangelion, Gundam Wing, Cowboy Bebop, Dragonball Z, or Sailor Moon were their "gateway" Anime. For me, it was the subtitled version of Ghost Stories. My school had a Japan Club that played Anime near weekly and this was the first. Only saw the first 2 episodes (and coincidentally I wouldn't see the rest of the Anime until years later) but I was completely hooked. The dub for this show is much more famous and easier on average for a Western audience to digest. That is if you go into it keeping a politically correctmindset outside your brain. It's basically a different show than what Japan made. The subtitled version likely has very few fans besides myself. The only other ones I know of are my wife and Chris Beveridge of the long dead animeondvd.com site.
I can't speak for the dub, but the sub is fine. It's an average C-tier Anime.
