About this product

Product Information

Director Noriuki Abe's horror anime series, GHOST STORIES, receives a creatively zany English-language dub that transforms it from a run-of-the-mill kid's show into a slyly subversive comedy with adult appeal. The basic plot centers on a precocious fifth-grader, Satsuki, and her younger brother, Keiichirou, who stumble upon an abandoned schoolhouse haunted by a collection of ghosts. Satsuki and Keiichirou attempt to exorcise the evil spirits with the help of an odd assortment of preteen ghostbusters that includes their smart-aleck neighbor, a supernatural-obsessed nerd, a hilariously born-again Christian, and the siblings' own demon-possessed cat. While the English dub stays true to this basic storyline, the actual script is abandoned in favor of ad-libbed dialogue that delivers risqué, adult-oriented comedy performed by the expert vocal talents of Chris Patton, Hilary Haag, Christine Auten, Greg Ayres, Illich Guardiola, Monica Rial, and Rob Mungle. This volume introduces the series with the first four episodes.

Absolutely hilarious. I wish more dubs of "so-so" anime got this treatment.
Definitely THE dub you've probably heard of. If you haven't seen this show with the infamous dub, you're seriously missing out. It's almost like an online abridged anime but official. You'll be enjoying yourself while laughing butt off at the same time.
