Ever since I made the video about the 4Kids One Piece dub, a similar video but about the Ghost Stories dub has become one of the most requested video topics I get; I figured, what better time to deliver than Halloween?

A side note, regarding Ghost Stories' ratings:
Ghost Stories' particularly low ratings were in no short part due to having a particularly unsavory time slot. You could easily argue that its ratings were pretty good considering what it was dealing with--which I have no doubt there's a lot of truth to, since there's plenty of evidence to suggest that it did have its loyal fans. But alas, the fact still remains that its ratings were still low and that Pierrot had high standards for success. For example, GTO finished airing a month before Ghost Stories and its average rating was 28.5--about double Ghost Stories at its peak. And I'm sure you don't need me to tell you that Pierrot had plenty of other shows that raked in high numbers.
Suffice to say, success is relative; and for Pierrot, Ghost Stories just wasn't up to their standard--ergo, in their eyes, it was a failure.

14:20 I love the last few episodes, I don't know why they never come up in clip reels. By that point, the characters have gone full Deadpool. They're fully aware they're in an anime, and they're actively roasting the terrible scripts. There's even one where the story is so muddled that the writer speaks to the audience directly through one of the kids, saying he can't figure out what's supposed to be going on. It's utter madness.
I love how in the last episode they are fully aware they're in the anime and just want the series to end "it's the last episode you think i'm gonna die?"

Imagine being a Japanese person and watching a Japanese subbed English dubbed version of Ghost Stories because that was the better version.
From what I've run across through curious searches, Ghost Stories has actually managed to garner a bit of a cult following from people who nostalgically remember the show, or happened to enjoy it as teens/adults when it was airing. Those Japanese fans probably wouldn't like (or in the case of all the pop culture references, even understand) all of the changes made to the English version of the series.

0:16 that is an interesting perspective. Ghost stories was popular and very loved in Japan in my research, and I personally grew up in Korea where the impact of ghost stories was huge.
This dub is funny as hell and I love it for what it is, but as least to east asians the original was very appreciated (and considered scary since many of these ghost stories were indeed already circulating in society) and very good. To this day many want the second season and well loved.
5:19 So yeah ratings dont reflect well what was actually going on also it does not show how such animes get imported by other east asian countries (Korea) with relatively similar cultural cues. Ghost stories for sure was considered quite good and well loved.

We have in France a French dub as legendary as Ghost story. It's Hokuto no ken ( Ken le survivant). It makes this anime completely different. In fact, they found out the anime was too violent so they decided to tone down a little with hilarious dub. That French dub needs to be subtitled in English too to show you how far they got. 🤣
Hokuto no Ken is its name?
French guy here. We actually have a similarly iconic so-different-it's-hilarious dub here, though the circumstances behind it were wildly different. Long story short, since anime licenses were cheap, in the eighties channels were buying them in bulk to fill up their kiddy morning blocks, with little regard to what they were actually purchasing. And then one of them ended up being Fist of the North Star.
The staff threw a massive fit over having to show a super violent post-apocalyptic story in a block aimed at six years olds, and ended up with a deal where the VAs got complete control over the script. The resulting puntastic, joke-filled show was the stuff of legends. "Ken le Survivant" (Ken the Survivor) is a classic, though for completely different reasons than the true FotNS.
When I feel confident about my grasp on the French language, the first thing I'm doing is making videos about the French dubs for Fist of the North Star and City Hunter (Nicky Larson en français)

What makes me sad is that I can't imagine something like this ever happening again. The backlash would be too great.
It would have to be something that did horrendous in Japan in terms of ratings or reception to have another situation like Ghost Stories.
@@EPunkOfficial Not just that but you would also need a company willing to pickup a show with horrendous ratings which is unlikely these days because of how much the industry has grown.
@@ViviSectia True, the industry is a lot bigger than it was when ADV got the rights to Ghost Stories. It does depend on the company though.
Just imagine if they added a fanservice handholding episode. Riots everywhere!!
The backlash THEN was great. A thing many people forget is that as far as I remember, this came out on VHS. Back in the VHS days, you didn't get a choice of Dub or Sub, you got what Sam Goody got in...which was the dub...and there was *NO* indication it was a parody dub. People were fucking LIVID at how disgusting and disrespectful the dub was. Heck, I still am and every time people rave about the Ghost Stories dub it makes me angry.

NOT
15 years and that line is still relevant today.
After turning 21 a few months ago in Colorado, never has that line been more relevent
It aged like fine wine 👌
I did not know that the English dub was in the anime I always thought it was just fans messing around wtf! Best realization ever
The "orignal" version is actually decent, we had a serious portuguese dub in Brazil and I remember it scaring me at times, and I wasn't a kid that got easily scared.
It's an exaggeration to say "it's terrible and became a masterpiece with the eng dub", it's more like an enjoyable horror anime became a funny South Park-ish anti-dub.
agreed
Man, i totally agree with you
totally agree
south park is way funnier than the english dub of ghost stories will ever be and the former is no more near as "quirky random XD" as the latter is.
It's an officially licensed abridged. Holy shit. I need to watch this now.
"When that President finishes stacking the Supreme Court"
Good to know nothing has changed in the 20 years since this came out
This feels so relevant now
@Upcycle Shoes
All. A stacked Supreme Court is every president’s wet dream.
@@dashamm98 Every ruler in history with a supreme court will try to do this.
@Upcycle Shoes I'm seriously wondering the context of that joke.
In 2006, I was just an 8th grader looking for a horror anime series at Best Buy... Imagine my surprise when I pressed play!
I watched that serie with spanish dubs on CN when I was a child and I loved it. Now that I watch it with english dubs it's so hilarious and funny. Still loving it
same thing happened in the french dubbing in the 80's
the dub actors refused to dub hokuto no ken as it was too violent and would only dub it if they were given full white card to dub as they wish and the studio actually accepted and the dub that came out of this is still a huge meme in france anime community
heres one of my favorite lines in it translated its when Julia jump to her death, Sin goes : "Julia! no its impossible i hadnt finish the railing someone find me the architect he will pay for this!"
"You have only 9 seconds left to live"
"What ?? Oh no, that's not enough, give me at least 2 more"

Wonder how Raoh speaks.
Difference being HnK was made more childish and ridiculous, whereas Ghost Stories turned into adult-oriented satire.
