Review of Ghost Stories

I loved this show! I wanted to flat out give it a 10/10.. but I can't. The dub for this show is everything it is cracked up to be. The dark humor is great and the characters are even better! ADV took these characters and made them out to be more than they were ever intended to be. However, I can only give this show a 7. The show has a rinse and repeat formula. It gave me flashbacks to watching anime on the FoxBox on Saturday mornings- just if Adult Swim ran that Saturday morning block instead. Evil is introduced, evil is defeated bythe end of the episode. It really feels sluggish toward the end.

The show's humor, much like the show's plot, gets incredibly stale at times toward the end. The VAs continue to harp on things that were funny in the earlier episodes but since were beat to death by this point. For example, Christian Slater. That's all I'll say.

Regardless of it's faults, I loved this show! It's not a masterpiece but it is definately one I'll rewatch- even if it's only certain episodes. Ghost Stories is not one to binge but to watch over periods of time. The humor and plot's staleness really hits the longer you watch continously.

I recommend this one, 100%! Just take it in strides. For me, I compare this show to sweets. Good in moderation but too much at once is overwhelming.

Overall: 7/10.
