Review of Ghost Stories

To be honest. the whole story makes no god-damned sense. Especially towards the end when it becomes a clusterfuck of different stories and confusing tropes. Everything about this anime screams mediocre. It was all hand-drawn (or very poorly CG drawn), while this is not bad in itself, it leads to some scenes of very poor animation. The music is pitiful, almost all the music that is played is stuff that is in the public domain (at least i think so), almost none of it is original. The Characters are actually not bad. Although they are all generic in some way. Why did I enjoy thisso much then? It's very funny. I should touch on the fact that the rights to this were bought before it flopped in japan, so the license holders told the voice actors to pretty much say whatever they want. It leads to some very funny scenes. "Ghosts only get evil people like republicans and we're not old enough to vote". "Principals always look like lesbians". "it's just like living next to charlie sheen". The best part, is this was dubbed in 2005 and all of the humor is still relevant today. I wasn't very old in 2005 (only 11), so I don't remember much news and jokes about that time, yet every single line said in this is relevant. I highly recommend you watch this, of course, as long as it is the dub.
