I.... Have honestly no words for this دکھائیں (Well, that's a load of bull, I have an entire مضمون here describing it). This دکھائیں is just.. so baffling. I don't think that words alone can perfectly describe what kind of دکھائیں that we are going to be talking about to die. But damn it, I have to at least try my hardest. So, let us talk about a little twenty episode عملی حکمت series, Ghost Stories and what makes it so..... Different from your usual anime.



Ghost Stories, like I said, is an twenty episode عملی حکمت that was created سے طرف کی Pierrot and Aniplex studios. Pierrot worked on Yu Yu Hakusho and Naruto, and in most reason years, Tokyo Ghoul. Aniplex, آپ definitely know, عملی حکمت fans, has worked on Fullmetal Alchemist, Ruroni Kenshin, Black Butler, and Persona 4: The Animation. Ghost Stories follows our main heroine, Satsuki Miyanoshita, an elementary school student who arrives into town with her father and younger brother, Keiichirou. She soon makes دوستوں with Momoko Koigakubo, a 6th grader, Hajime Aoyama, her next-door neighbor, and Reo Kakinoki, a boy interested in the paranormal, and Satsuki's pet cat who Kaya, who's body is taken over سے طرف کی an evil entity known as Amanojaku. The story is as follows. Satsuki and her family اقدام back into the ہوم town of her deceased mother, and after she and her دوستوں enter a house owned سے طرف کی an evil ghost, she, not only, finds a book from her mother that is used to defeat the ghosts, but she also happens to use the book and saves herself and her friends. And all I can say at that point is that I really hope آپ liked the first episode... Because at that point, it's just a repeat of Ghost starts ruining everyone's day, the gang checks out what's going on, they screw around for a bit, their mental lobe kicks in to remind them that they have this crazy exorcising book, they use it, ghost is defeated, and then we all have a good life. Ha ha ha- Fuck off.



Now, of course, I'm sure that a bland sort of story can stay supported if the characters are interesting. I mean, I hated the gameplay of Alan Wake, but the characters did keep me going (The story was good though, but that's not the point). So, how good are the characters in Ghost Stories... Oh boy. I mean, I don't hate any of the characters. They all seem to do a good job at......... existing, but they all are just basic عملی حکمت background characters you've seen before. Brave protagonist, reliable ally, best friend, coward, younger sibling, and cold character who softens up as the story goes on. They aren't hated (I think). The problem with these characters is how boring they are. They are just the most basic, cookie cutter characters آپ could think of. It's as simple as it gets. They don't try to give them any character development, any tough situations, any backstory, or, god forbid, something that antagonizes them when they try to اقدام forward. Yeah, the ghosts are pretty challenging... for a time. But once they got the book in their hands, suddenly, all the ghosts are just میں تپ, تپ fodder and just a barrier for them to take down so they can wait for the اگلے barrier in the اگلے episode. After a while, it hit me. Like a bat being swung at me سے طرف کی the local mafia, it struck me in the face super hard around the tenth episode. This show's goddamn boring.



Well, I mean, it can't all be bad... Right? How are the ghosts. A horror story can be as awful as it wants as long as the monster looks and has a unique reason for existing, so what is it? What is their reason for being here. Well, they are upset because of urbanization in the area, and in a way to get revenge, they want to kill everyone in town... You're making it hard for me to like you, Ghost Stories. You're making it real hard. Alright, so let's فہرست some of the ghosts and see if we can find one- Just one- good ghost. So other than Amanojaku, we've got Akane, a ghost who kills آپ at sunset when آپ hear her voice. Okay. Babasare can bend reality and has already used it to kill two kids. Okay, that's pretty good. There's the Headless Biker- Next! The Human-Faced Dog- Next! The Taxi Driver... He actually looks pretty freaky, good on him. Lord Ohma, who, I guess, is the main antagonist. He looks مزید like a demon than a ghost if آپ ask me. Mary, a doll, which has NEVER been done in a horror story before. Creepy dolls are just very underused creatures when it comes to horror. Shirotabi, a demonic... bunny. Yeah, we're going to those levels. The Piano Ghost is pretty interesting, in a way. The ghost of Beethoven who will kill آپ if آپ hear his song four times, and he will use any object, instrument یا not, to make آپ listen. It's kinda interesting. Then there's Akagami-Aogami, a ghost who lives in the toilets and- ......... Alright, I think that's a good stopping point. Some of these monsters are just bland یا generic looking in some cases. Some have neat ways to kill people, while some are just.... eh. I like that they are using Japanese mythology and folklore and putting them in these stories, but آپ couldn't have added some extra meat on those thin bones. I do like the monster designs in the end credits though. They look very detailed and kinda creepy. Too bad it got ruined when آپ remember the credits song is actually titled Sexy, Sexy. Yes, a song called Sexy Sexy is in an عملی حکمت about elementary school students killing ghosts... God, that's fucking hot. But, no, really, it's random and awful.



Okay, so maybe Ghost Stories isn't.... Good. It's very bland and basic and it will bore آپ سے طرف کی a few episodes, and that's if your lucky not to get tired of this عملی حکمت سے طرف کی the first episode. So it's محفوظ to say that watching Ghost Stories subbed isn't a great idea... But, that's only subbed. What about... the dub. I didn't want to review the dubbed version of Ghost Stories since the only the subbed one is in the genre of horror, and not the dubbed, but it would be a crime if I didn't talk about the dub when mentioning Ghost Stories. But first, story time. So back in the سال 2001 when Ghost Stories finished airing, and with other عملی حکمت out at the time such as Fruits Basket, Boogiepop Phantom, Digimon, and not even including عملی حکمت like Pokemon and One Piece, آپ can imagine how successful Ghost Stories was. Oh, no. This عملی حکمت bombed harder than me on a math test after my Red بیل wore off. It was a mess, but they still sent it over to America and basically told them, "You know what? Fuck it. آپ do whatever آپ want. Just don't change the character's names یا how the ghosts are defeated". And thus, we got a the greatest dub in... probably of all time. Now, before we talk about it, let me ask you. Have آپ ever seen an abridged series? آپ know, those عملی حکمت that are کہا to be abridged, but really are just filled with jokes that people add in? Well, that is exactly what the dub of Ghost Stories is. It is a disgraceful, disrespectful, bastardization of the original work... So naturally, it's better than the subbed version. Satsuki becomes this mean-spirited کتیا, کتيا of a character. Hajime is arrogant and perverted. Reo, now named Leo, is now Jewish. And Momoko... Oh god, Momoko. She went from just a generic brave girl into a religious extremist who hates any other religion یا race and always talks about the graces of God. It's amazing and I love it. If آپ really want to watch Ghost Stories, I recommend the dub. And I know that some عملی حکمت شائقین will say that the sub is better than the dub, but what would آپ prefer? A mediocre story with okay characters and monster designs, یا an exaggerated, insane, nonsensical story with characters that constantly break the fourth wall, always talk shit about each other, and just say some incredibly screwed up but hilarious things? I'll gladly take the insane gibberish shouting racists over stale ٹوسٹ with mouths any day.



So yeah, Ghost Stories isn't the best عملی حکمت ever. It's got a meh cast of characters, meh monsters, meh story, and a meh reason to continue watching. Ghost Stories is very meh, and being that boring is something that could easily kill a show. But thank god the dub stepped in and kept Ghost Stories into the public view. Ghost Stories is probably one of the funniest عملی حکمت out there, and all it took was poor sales and letting America do whatever it wanted. And to think, I could have finally gotten to that Uzumaki review.... but trust me, this was مزید worth my time. Take care.
