Ghost Stories - Semester 5: Graduation Ghoulies (DVD)

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 kids` show into a slyly subversive comedy with adult appeal. The basic plot centers on a precocious fifth-grader who stumbles upon a haunted schoolhouse and attempts to exorcise its evil spirits with the help of an odd assortment of preteen ghostbusters. While the English dub stays true to this basic storyline, the actual script is abandoned in favor of ad-libbed dialogue that delivers risqui, 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 continues the series with episodes 17 through 20. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
