About time youse reacted to this. For context: this is 100% real. There are conflicting stories about how well the original did in Japan, whether it sold well or poorly. But when it was brought to the US, they were told to do whatever so long as they didn't recut the episode. So the lead writer and the voice actors got together over drinks and just pitching nonsense, and they wrote down what they could. Then recorded it in earnest in the booth a few weeks later. The dub became a niche classic and was latter redubbed back into Japanese a few years ago for the anniversary of the manga it was based on. They weren't expecting it to do so well, and it effectively became an inspiration for early abridged anime series on UA-cam.
It actually did well in Japan. There were two separate dubs to it. The original then this one later. That's what I heard at least. The rest is history.
@@kilisloe3474 yeah I had heard it did poorly but someone called me out on another video so I looked it up and it seems the production company gave different information in different press statements it did very well during its airing and still has a following, but the actual home media sales were low leading to a loss of revenue which is probably why they sold the overseas broadcasting rights with such low requirements
Regardless of the debate on how well the show did domestically but they fact they sold it on the low and said have fun says enough I think. Like no one's doing that with Naruto 😂
Yeah it tanked in Japan so they sold it to American dubbing, and basically said do whatever you want except altering to main plot. So literally unhinged dubbing commenced😂🤣
you can't get offended at this anime because this anime insults everyone equally, it's completely just in its presentation. And that's why I love it so much
too bad we can't have actual good comedy like this nowadays, because the woketards from twitter will get offended. so all we get in 2023 is tame and dumbed down comedy
It’s interesting because there are so many shows that try to do the “make fun of everyone” type stuff, but this is the only show I’ve seen where it actually works. I think that’s because there is not one character that they try to make “good”. They never really have a moral or message, and everyone is just kind of a massive shitbag and that’s perfectly acceptable. It’s kinda nice.
@@literallly. I mean, the born-again jokes, the old creepy white man bit... there's a good bit in there, just not a lot of truly exceptional jokes. Also, the fact that the MCs are typically portrayed as white, and they're the ones saying all the terrible shit.
There is anime called my first girlfriend is a gal and they did something similar though not to this extent. They did it because I guess the mc and a lot of the characters were pretty unlikable in the original. There is an anime in that changed the show with its dub called black lagoon a different way. They took out a lot of the anime like dialogue and just turned it into a 2000s action movie dialogue with a lot of swearing.(Original had a lot of Engrish)
@zirath17 He was because he did get mad when the little girl was pushed over so it wasn't just dub but he wasn't made fun of as much as he was in the dub.
It's a great dub, but I'm kinda glad that this isn't the direction they take with all shows either. xD They should threaten anime that do bad to get foreign dubs like these. xD
@YuyuHakurei I agree but to an extent, I think more dubs should be creative when wording certain things. Alot of the time they are just copying the translation. it brings you in more when they have jokes and references that the audience can understand for low quality anime I think it should be more like this but for main stream anime na it would ruin it but I'd also be lying if I didn't say they could be a little more creative when doing a dub you can say 1 thing 100 different ways and it just feels like they've been getting real lazy with the dubs it's no wonder why most don't like them
I always love seeing people’s first time seeing this dub. I’ve met Monica Rial who voiced the religious girl and from the stories she told they seemed to have so much fun with this. There were still a few really funny clips that wasn’t included in this compilation
@@gandalainsley6467 a judge dismissed VM’s “defamation” suit with PREJUDICE and made him pay nearly $250,000. SEVERAL corroborating witnesses have stepped forward to back up Monica.
@@popcultureoverdosed If I remember in the end it did turn out that she lied but Vic Mignogna did not get his job back so he tried to sue and nothing happened. The same person who accused Vic Mignogna originally(Monica jumped on a bandwagon) also accused Todd Haberkorn but nothing happened because it was already proven that she is a liar so Todd was fine. He still has his career.
This is from the early 2000s. It was huge in the western anime world for the more mature audience who had been fans of anime in the early 90s. My brother had a dvd copy of this and we used to quote scenes daily. It's wild how tiktok brought this masterpiece back
Hearing the INSANELY famous/well-known english VA's on this is just absolutely hilarious. This dub is like a perfect summary of what humor was like back then. No chance it would ever be made today
I feel like in the modern day, people have kind of forgotten that jokes can just be jokes. Sometimes the humor comes from just saying something so insane that no reasonable person would ever say it.
I always thought these clips were dubbed over. I couldn't believe when I finally watched the anime and realized these were directly from the show lmao.
I seen this years ago, still funny as hell, it's so over the top that we all know there's no real negativity in it. Wish shows had 2 dubs, a serious one and this type of humor.
The rabbita voice was the first clip of the show I saw. And it definitely had me thinking it was like fan dub / parody thing. But the fact it's real confused and entertained me.
you want more political jargon to add to all the disney and hollywood films? i figured any rational person would not personally go to seek out more of that.
How about no? The last thing we need is MORE people making Trump jokes. Putting aside politics, they're always very lazy and surface-level, and they've been run into the ground.
Also, the actual anime in Japanese is kind of like Scooby Doo. It's a ghost of a week type show where spooky things happen and they solve the problem. The dub version however was only given 2 conditions. Don't change the name of the characters and they can't change how the monsters were defeated. Obviously that meant they could do whatever they wanted basically.
Ah this is probably the best compilation video of ghost stories dub u could ever react to, some others aren’t good as this. Ghost stories dub is 👌 I’m glad y’all enjoyed it
The "Christian" girl is the same english VA (Monica Rial) as: * Bulma - Dragon Ball Franchise * Mirajane - Fairy Tail * Tsuyu Asui (Froppy) - My Hero Academia * Lyra / Dante - Fullmetal Alchemist (2003) * May Chang - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood * Nero and Mereoleona - Black Clover
To explain how this was created, the original flunked hard, and I mean hard. To the point where the creators didn’t care about how it was voice acted they were just told to keep the characters names the same and plot the same, so the voice actors essentially had the freedom to do literally anything they wanted
It's funny how this series is so much of a cult classic that it resurfaces every few years. But yeah, this is basically the closest thing we ever got an officially licensed Abridged Series for any anime.
With our without context Ghost Stories English dub is ALWAYS the greatest dub you will ever see In still trying to get my hands on the international release DVD but im still to broke for online shopping like Amazon.
You should watch the explanation video about it I think it’s “story behind America most offensive anime dub” it gives you a little insight into what they was doing
So fun thing about this.....Ghost Stories in Japan failed hard.....so when they had a dub they only had a few rules.........1: The Ghosts must be defeated in the same way and 2: you must keep the names the same. That was literally it. And so we got the best dub ever because all the actors had literally no rules. Its sooooo good and so funny and a lot of people find it offensive, but its soo good because this was made back in 200(2-6) and people are so offended but like....its a spirit detective story that was made more amazing by this dub which could be considered one of the originators of abridged series......hope you had a good time at least.....dont take it seriously at all.
I love people who can enjoy this type of humor. U guys give me home that the world will not degenerate into the world from the movie "demolition man" with stallone and westly snipes!
The story goes something along the lines of : a few of the translators for the company were either let go or retired or in a few cases both. The voice actors didn't have a set script to follow, and the production timeline for the dub hitting television/vhs/dvd was too close to delay the work and get set scripts. So the company said "fuck it, we ball" and told the voice actors to just have fun. This is what we got. Thank God for pagan production timelines. 😂😂💀💀💀

well, not officially licensed. heck, even the parody dubs don't go this far tho. so i guess you're right lol
Maybe not exactly like this, but if you're looking for a dub that feels like an Abridged series, I'd recommend Samurai Pizza Cats.
FUNimation's dub of Crayon Shin-chan is similar.
@@SBaby I'll have to watch it thank you for the recommendation very much :D 💚

9:58 WOW!!! Did they predict the crap out of that one. Lol
your smile dropped so quick at 1:29

The best part is that this is the official dub 😂
6:52 I'm stealing this line if i somehow become a coach or something
"well at least he's not racist"
I need to watch this show dubbed now. Usually I hate the dubbed version but this is hilarious
This is the actual English version of the show me and my sister just finished watching it such a funny show
I haven't laughed this hard while watching someone react to ghost stories. It's freaking peak anime, y'all should react to some more ghost stories 😂 🤣
Life lessons with uramichi oniisan English dub has similar humor and is incredibly relatable 😂
This definitely encapsulates early 2000s humor.
Omg I LOVE the way they both look at each other 😂

The little boy always spittin playboy carti bars
I love the rabbit scene from this dub
This show was WILD lol, I saw the whole thing, they don't hold back the whole time, I still can't believe it exists.
No matter how many times, I will tear up from so much laughter.
It's so absurb It's comically genius.
This is top tier voice acting
This dude has the best smile. It's like staring a giant baby and I can't help but smile too.
That splinter remark gets me every time
Aww, you missed “don’t ‘get out,’ get saved!” at 2:23 lmaooo that one always takes me out
Crazy that that’s the official dub 😂
yall cant understand HOW HAPPY IT MAKES ME seeing ppl like yall reactin to Ghost Stories Dub its double hillarious ahahah

This was on TV and no child should have been allowed to watch it, but many of us did.... Cause we CHHHHHRRRISTIAAANS!
this is the best reaction bro😭 i busted out laughing watching these clips alone and i was waiting for someone to have the same reaction🤣
Why can't cartoons be like this today?
You already know the answer, why bother asking lmao
they can but it’s really difficult to make jokes this well in this political climate.
@@donta6133unless you're vivsiepop, but she sucks
You know daaaaamn well why lol
You know damn well why lmao
Wish they could make another gag dub like this where they make fun of the Kardashians, Kanye West, Donald Trump, etc.
well if you feel trump is a joke and you like biden...after his recent drone strike on russia i assume you'll be first in line?
Buddy this was made in the early days. It was official too so keep keeping for that to ever happen.
On the bright side, some of these jokes are coming back around.
you want more political jargon to add to all the disney and hollywood films? i figured any rational person would not personally go to seek out more of that.

Thanks to the dub of Ghost Stories we now have several abridged series, they paved the path
If you watch the full episodes of this dubbing, it will still be the funniest out of field thing you've ever seen
Thank you so much for reacting to this I needed to laugh this much today
Honestly the best thing is recognizing voice actors from many other dubs.. especially cause some of them are from some of the highest regarded series.
Show Writers: "If I offend absolutely EVERYONE ON THE PLANET, no one can accuse me of being prejudice."
There were also a lot of white people jokes, but they were hidden within the religious and political ones
Oh boy you found Ghost Stories 😂
The one we all been waiting on😂
I thought I would never see the day 😂❤
These reactions are great!😂
6:51 lmaooooo
I watch this anime series once a year and I laugh hard every time...I really enjoy watching reactors viewing these comp vids.

The story goes something along the lines of : a few of the translators for the company were either let go or retired or in a few cases both.
