It’s funny seeing people hate on ghost stories but defend cumtown on the same site
I have all of the same criticisms of cumtown lol
Hey, cumtown at least has a bunch of funny bits in addition to the racist ones:
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
They're not the same people. I love Cumtown AND the Ghost Stories dub.
Yeah I watched it for fun recently and it's mostly just reactionary shock humour, I only got through the first couple episodes when the novelty wore off
I think I've only ever seen it as a clip show of the most absurd bits.
If you've seen Scary Movie, it's the same sort of humor from that era. It isn't just shows from the 2000s, it's being a Millennial child in the 2000s that made it palatable.
Rewatching it now is really ugly. Kind of like that Marge Simpson story where her story is really gross, bizarre, and bigoted - a reference to the caricature of Apu - where you'd just find it severely distasteful.
I've only seen clips. I have a feeling the montage was good enough for me. It had the initial surprise and shock and I'm sure would wear off quickly.
It was edgy and funny when I didn't know what humor was but these days it's only good for the couple of clips and one liners that everyone always passes around as "wow so funny show"
yeah i rewatched it a few months ago because i remember some of it being funny but i think there's maybe five jokes that aren't just bigoted. can't imagine watching the full show, the clips i've seen on youtube are more than enough
Compare this to Sword Art Online Abridged, which just ends up being better written than actual Sword Art Online
I've seen like four episodes of the Ghost Stories dub and honestly yeah. I did make a note that I wanted to continue Ghost Stories "eventually", for some unknown reason, but it did stand out to me that the Ghost Stories dub is considerably less funny or interesting outside of the handful of most shared clips.
While on the subject of anime that are better enjoyed as clips, I think I also gave this label to Nichijou and Wataten: the former basically because it's already structured as a series of largely disconnected vignettes, so it might've been even more GOATed if the pacing was left up to the viewer; the latter because if your only knowledge of Wataten comes from clips, you get to live blissfully unaware of the fact that the main character is a pedophile.
