ADV did the unthinkable: We took a perfectly fine kids show about supernatural sleuths… and threw away the script! A top director teamed with A-list actors to produce something completely different. And hilarious! This is the anime event of the year! Manufacturer: ADV Films
Anyone who doesn't think this is funny has absolutely zero sense of humor and should be watching soap operas or reading a historical novel. This is not a heart warming story about a family whose wife died. Its the funniest anime I have ever watched. More than all the 300 Anime movies I have in my collection put together. It really pokes fun at nerds and straight laced political correct snobs. It made me realize how brainwashed Americans are that we can't even poke fun at ourselves. This is NOT about a family trying to adjust after a mother dies. The family is perfectly adjusted to the mother being dead and have moved on even joking about the dead mother --which has nothing to do with the theme. A group of kids go into the old haunted school house looking for their lost cat and the adventure starts. I have 600 movies and 300 anime in my collection and this is the first movie that has made me laugh out loud. Ghost stories describes itself as wicked fun. A reluctant ghost hunter. Her babbling baby brother. A horny pre-teen. Its 5 discs not 1 and contains 1-20 episodes--each a separate ghost adventure -- 550 minutes long. This anime is so funny I am watching it twice and may even watch it 3 times. I recommend it for anyone who is sick and tired of political correct authoritarians ruling their lives. No holds barred comedy. English dubbed voices and translations are great. Totally funny!!!
Japanese Subbed Is The Better Way To Go On This Series Of A Entertaining Anime rating: 4
I got this thinking that it would be a hilarious anime story like FMPFF but except it actually wasn't. The story is about a family that has moved to town after the kids mother has died and the father gets a new job the daughter on her first day at her new school enters an abandoned building on school and finds out that due to building developments in town that ghost who were trapped in certain shrines or locations by her spiritual mother are now being freed she finds her mother's old diary which explains how to put the wondering spirits back to rest and tries to put the spirits to rest again. Now here is the weird part is that the English voice dubbed totally changed what the characters are truly saying in the episodes supposedly to make it more funny instead some of it which is funny but the majority was just to stupid for words. If you watch this I'd advise the Japanese subbed version as this of course truly tells
you what is going on. I will tell you one more thing while the English voice actors are pros and are good sadly the lines they were given had either to many racial context during episodes or to many foul words so if you are offended by either of these again switch to the subbed audio instead.
