I have to know, is there a story behind this dub? Was there some kind of contract dispute, or did they just legitimately not give a fuck about Ghost Stories?
>>
>>142768196
they were basically given carte blanche when it came to dubbing this series, because they already secured the dub rights but it didn't do very well at all in Japan
>>
>>142768331
Well, I kind of wish that happened more often. As OP said, this shit is gold.

The director for the dub was MIA, and the VA's just adlibbed the entire thing.

I wonder whether someone could actually enjoy it without a dub.
>>
>>142773014
The original was mediocre at best. It had pantsu.
>>
>>142773125
So english version was censored or something?
Because if not, it has both pantsu and hilarious dub that makes somewhat dull series into a good bad funny shit.
>>
>>142773309
No, it wasn't.
My point is that the original ONLY had pantsu going for it.
The dub has pantsu and fun.

Even though the dub script is funny, the part that got me the hardest was Hajime standing up with his arm raised going HAI HAI HAI HAI HAI HAI HAI

Which is 100% faithful to the original dialogue

It was silly in the first place, but the entire script was rewritten to be even sillier. The characters lean heavily into the fact that it's a dub of a Japanese show they couldn't edit the Japanese out of, and the narrator actually becomes his own character constantly talking to everyone else, instead of being a stock-standard one.

Yes? I did. The dub is much more memorable no doubt, but for some reason dubfags like to paint the original as if it was completely unwatchable (even though they have not watched it).

It's just a kid's show. Adding jokes won't suddenly make a completely different show, the only differences are the kids personalities and the mom's letter which changes the tone of that episode.

There are a couple of retarded episodes and shit animation but it's not enough to make it the worst show ever. The hentai character design, panty shots and the top tier OP, ED and ost make up for it anyway.

Because japan. Bulma had a lot of panty shots too, James was crossdresing all the time, and Tomoyo and her mom were lesbians for their cousins.

Is it really that wierd though? Flipping skirts to see the girl's panties is something kids do. I remember my classmates got scolded all the time because of it.

Speaking of pokemon and ccs, one of the reasons I liked ghost stories is because of how much it reminded me to some of the creepier episodes from those shows, like sabrina's doll house and the song card.

The sabrina's doll house episode was pretty great.

Because its boring as shit and the changes in the dialogue changes the enjoyment of the show by a significant amount. The Animax dub plays it straight and its just as boring.

>>142799444
Of course you are going to find it boring if you have already watched the gag dub. Not only you'd be expecting or remembering the jokes, you already know how the episode plays out and how the kids defeat the ghosts, which removes any tension. It's the same as rewatching an horror movie but now also expecting it to be comedy.

And again it's still a children's show, trying to scare its children audience. That still doesn't make it the legendary unwatchable garbage people like to parrot it is when explaining the reason for gag dub. The show is ok if you watch it before the dub.
>>
>>142801182
>And again it's still a children's show, trying to scare its children audience.
Well obviously it didn't do its job because it got canned after 12 episodes
>>
>>142801182
Bro the show is just dull and given its reception in Japan even kids didn't like it. The show's only remembrance is the raunchy dub and that's it. Is it bad? No it's just a harmless kids show but is it worth watching? Not really.
>>
Seriously who did the character designs?

Really? Seems like the kids liked it based on 2000-2001 ratings. 10-12 points is good right?

>The show's only remembrance is the raunchy dub and that's it. Is it bad? No it's just a harmless kids show but is it worth watching? Not really.
And I don't disagree with this, I said that the dub was much more memorable. I don't see the point of bashing the original just to justify the dub and I'm pointing out that people somehow like to parrot without proof of the contrary that the original was impossibly bad or a complete failure while admiting to not have watched it, just because someone said so in a previous thread.

People on ghost stories threads have gone from claiming that the creators didn't care so they allowed a gag dub, to the show was unsuccseful so they allowed it, to the show bombed hard and the studio went bankrupt so they begged for whatever means to save it, to the show was complete irremediable trash so the dub had to rewrite it to save it, to a guy in the last thread claiming that the japs that made it actually preffer the dub, to a guy wondering if its possible that someone in the world could actually enjoy the original, as if this was somehow impossible to watch.

I really don't get what about this series makes people believe and spread misinformation so easily. The original is average, one episode was banned, it got decent ratings (mostly because of a good time slot), it got cancelled (and also got a shit second season of shorts that no one saw), they allowed a gag dub that is 100% deserving to be quoted and the nips made an unexpected amount of porn of it.
That's it.
>>
>>142804288
>Seems like the kids liked it based on 2000-2001 ratings
Then why was it cancelled? Why is there next to no merchandise? I highly doubt it was planned to run only 12 episodes given that the premise was to teach kids about Japanese ghost tales with the ending being as abrupt as it was. Not denying that 10-12 are good ratings (in fact too good since those are Saznae-san numbers nowadays) but it seems odd that a "popular" show would get next to no attention in its country of origin.
>>
>>142784334
It's hard to say that one is better than the other because they all had similar situations happen to them but vert different settings.

Yes they are though ratings standards has changed a lot since then so maybe it was deemed not good enough back then when its phenomenal now. It's a kids show animated by Pierrot so unless it aired on a Government sponsored channel it seems weird that there isn't any merch for it.
>I don't see the point of bashing the original just to justify the dub and I'm pointing out that people somehow like to parrot without proof of the contrary that the original was impossibly bad or a complete failure while admiting to not have watched it, just because someone said so in a previous thread.
Honestly I've never seen anyone say that the original show is bad just dull and boring and it flew under everyone's radar for a reason until that dub came out.

>People on ghost stories threads have gone from claiming that the creators didn't care so they allowed a gag dub, to the show was unsuccseful so they allowed it, to the show bombed hard and the studio went bankrupt so they begged for whatever means to save it, to the show was complete irremediable trash so the dub had to rewrite it to save it, to a guy in the last thread claiming that the japs that made it actually preffer the dub, to a guy wondering if its possible that someone in the world could actually enjoy the original, as if this was somehow impossible to watch.
Pretty sure all that is bull. The OFFICIAL story from ADV is that they had gotten Ghost Stories as a package deal and were sitting on the license for years, this happened before when they got Papuwa in a package deal with Square Enix when they licensed Final Fantasy Unlimited, and since they were smart enough to see that a early 00s mediocre kids show was never gonna sell they had fun with it. Funimation did the same thing when they licensed Shin-chan.
