Review of Ghost Stories
Dubbed: 10 (masterpiece) Sub titled: 3 (trash fire) This is one of the most infamous dubs in the history of anime. As the legend goes, when the company that released the dub was seeking the rights for new anime, the Japanese rights holder bundled this show with a bunch of other shows they actually wanted. When the Americans asked what they could do with it, they basically got cart Blanche to change whatever as the show bombed in Japan, except the few elements that were based on Japanese folk lore. And boy, did they go to town. This is the funniest and most irreverent dub ever, andnothing like this will ever be made professionally again. It is offensive and crude, and I love it. So if you like comedy, and aren’t easily offended, give this one a try. But it must be dubbed.
The straight version (ie subtitles) is boring and should never be watched by anyone.
