I would like to stress this thread is for the discussion of the subtitled version of School Ghost Stories, not the dub.
Anonymous Fri 04/10/2024 4:39:06 AM 4 months ago No. 492
i originally watched the dub, the problem i had personally was that it felt wrong, sure it was funny but its like looking at a painting that was drawn over.
fun fact, behind satsuki in the opening to the anime is gashadokuro, i remember reading about him for the first time in a storybook for children, although his origins was warped to where it was about a boy fighting him off.
i find it weird that japanese urban legends are appearing all at once like hanako san, kubinashi rider and i find it equally strange that dogfaced man made an appearance, i thought he only harassed drunk salarymen? (although to be fair that might have been the modern verson of the tale that i heard)
i am unsure, perhaps it'll be elaborated on later.
so far episode one reminds me of an old 80's horror sitcom. it was pretty enjoyable to me.
another thing i like is how the voice actors sound their age, unlike the dub. i still find it funny that the cat was possesed and nothing has changed, just typical cat behaviour such as a lust for evil and deep contempt for humanity, as all cats do. the spirits i don"t recognise are amanojaku, and teke-teke. with teke-teke i think they fucked up because they potrayed it as a bald ghost thing but from what i understand from a quick google search she's supposed to look like a schoolgirl cut in half. with hanako i find it funny that momoko would fucking summon hanako which is the LAST THING a sane person would do, its like me walking into a haunted house and summoning bloody mary. i thought it was funny that hanako was friendly.

But why? Without the meme dub it's such a boring show.

Actually for whatever reason i can't. You would think it would be on youtube but all that's availible is several short vids of luffy eating a kiwi. In episode 214 the anime exclusive character Chiqicheetah, at first starts sniffing luffy because early on in thd ark he had eaten several long kiwis, and during a roller skating race they realised that chiqicheetah is a cheetah-man so they fell the long kiwi tree to distract him. Sanji, the manager of the straw hat roller derby figured out that kiwis have been known to be related to silver vine, which is used in asia as a catnip alternative which is why the cheetah man was sniffing luffy and behaving weird.

Anime opening/closing music that works as a song in its own right
Post anime opening/closing themes that you'd listen to normally as if you heard them on the radio. I'll start
"Sky Hurricane" by Casey Rankin was the opening Orguss. "Sky Hurricane" was regularly played as the show moved on. Casey Rankin is pretty interesting in the sense he was an American musician trying to make it in Japan.

"Pegasus Fantasy" by Make-Up was the opening for Saint Seiya. What makes it so great is that it matches how cool Saint Seiya the show is.

If you're unfamiliar with it, ADV Dub is the entity behind producing the irreverent English dub for Ghost Stories. The narrative they presented claimed that the anime performed abysmally in Japan, both in terms of sales and reception, which is far from the truth. Regrettably, a significant portion of the English-speaking Western audience accepted this account as gospel, and did not do their own research on this topic. Contrary to popular belief, Ghost Stories is considered as one of the best horror anime made, with a lot of childhood nostalgia tied to it.
I will be sharing a lot of resources you can look into to confirm this for yourself, and maybe then you could watch the anime as it was intended.
 ∧▁∧
(ФωФ) Oh, Ghost Stories? Wait, hold on a second... You actually fell for ADV Dub's story and didn't smell anything fishy? Hahaha!
 ㇇ ㇇



Here is what Ste7en Foster, writer and director of Ghost Stories's English dub, said in his biography, The Last Alias: True stories and a tale that might be
(pages 83-84, eBook version)
The show is basically a lame Scooby-Doo ripoff with a cat where the dog
should be. Five plucky youngsters—in this case, elementary school kids—
battle a ghost-of-the-week each episode. Each episode is a totally contained
show. Only the pilot episode really demands to be watched in a certain
position. The others you could shuffle and never be the worse for wear. The
show’s animation isn’t bad, but it’s nothing special. The show just paddles
along on its mediocre legs, not really harming or healing anyone in the
process.
There’s an episode about an artist ghost, a snow ghost, a headless biker
ghost, etc. The violence is fairly intense. Some of the scenes are a little rough
for younger viewers and the ending song that rolls over the credits is called
“Sexy Sexy,” so it seems a little mature to be strictly a kids’ show. But it’s so
juvenile it doesn’t really feel like it’s for an older audience either. Maybe
that’s why it tanked in Japan? Who knows.

 ∧▁∧
(ФωФ) Oh, so we've got a wannabe "Scooby-Doo" here, channeling your inner ghost detective, Mr. Steven Foster? chuckles

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/学校の怪談_(テレビアニメ)
It aired on Fuji TV affiliate stations from October 22, 2000, to March 25, 2001. There was also a special episode broadcast on August 24 of the same year. The average viewership rating was 12.2%, the highest rating was 14.0%, and the lowest rating was 10.6%
As a point of reference:
1) In the 2000s, a successful mainstream anime might have achieved ratings in the range of 10-20%.
2) Late-night anime, which typically cater to a more dedicated fanbase and might be considered more "niche," often have ratings under 5%, sometimes even under 1%.

With the conclusion of this series, the long-running collaboration between Fuji TV and Studio Pierrot temporarily ended. It is also the last new anime to begin airing during Fuji TV's golden time slot. Five years after the original broadcast, in 2006, it was rebroadcast on TOKYO MX, and in 2014 and 2016, it was rebroadcast on Chiba Television (Chiba TV). The special episode "Headless Rider!! Curse of Death" was originally broadcast as a special episode after the final episode (Episode 19), five months after the initial run. However, in reruns on TOKYO MX and Animax, it was broadcast before the actual final episode. In the case of Chiba TV's reruns in 2014 and 2016, it was aired as the actual final episode.
Regarding the background of such an arrangement, North American media reports that since this work was unpopular and a commercial failure in Japan, Animax, which wanted to recoup production costs, provided only minimal conditions and was not involved in other matters. However, this is inaccurate. In Japan, the anime achieved high average viewership ratings of 12.2% with a peak of 14.0%. It even ranked 5th in the 2021 horror anime rankings, indicating a resilient popularity that continues to this day.

On 2channel there were around 90 different general threads made about Ghost Stories actually all archived under a single link which now is pretty much dead so that sucks...
Title: "School Ghost Stories" Past Log Archive (Thread 1-28) URL: http://www.geocities.com/gakkai_logbox/index.html
Here is another collection of posts I found directly from 2channel there are even posts from 2001 that were reposted maybe those threads are still alive somewhere.

https://anime2.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/ranimeh/1169032588/ (2007)
- This thread is for discussing school ghost stories. Studio Pierrot produced it. It's a shame the 3rd episode was canceled.
- I want the anime to come back!!!!!! If they replayed everything up to the last episode (excluding specials) and then aired new stories from there, that would be great. Well, they could also replay just the first episode and then air new ones.
- It's still in the Showa thread, and now there are two separate threads.
- Satsuki, Momoko-san, Keiichiro in the beginning, Satsuki's mom and dad, Kaya and Tengu, everyone loves them, yet because of the panty shots, it's only seen as a panty anime, and it's sad. Panties should just disappear!
- Nostalgic! After watching this anime, I was scared of taking baths and desperately remembered all the weaknesses of each yokai. I was a elementary school student back then.
- How many times did the server crash due to SexySexy...
- That annoying woman who ruined the third episode by making baseless complaints, I bet she's protesting properly this time too? Seriously, go to hell. (referencing episode 3)

https://hayabusa6.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/ranimeh/1291414861/882-982 (2010-2015)
- Ah, nostalgic anime. Not that it's completely unknown, but it's the kind of nostalgic anime they might occasionally show on Asahi Broadcasting, isn't it? For people who watched it in real-time, it's a unique nostalgia. At the end, when Baikinman possessed Kāya, he regained his body and left? But they meet again and it ends, I remember that well.
- Today I have a day off work, so I'm watching the DVD from the beginning. Next is the 4th volume, but Shirotabi → Anamane → Merry-san, all three episodes are good stories.
- It's been ten years since then, but I can't help but focus on the panties I didn't care about back then.
- During the time when School Ghost Stories was being broadcast, it was popular in my class. Wasn't the viewership good?
- I think it exceeded 10% if I recall correctly. It was probably on Wikipedia.
- Why did School Ghost Stories end while crappy shows like Iron Arm Dash continued?

https://mao.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/ranimeh/1584769032?v=pc (2020-2022)
- It's the 20th anniversary this year, huh? Hope they release a Blu-ray BOX.
- I've been watching D Anime up to a certain point, and it's a really well-made anime. The direction is detailed, and the animation is stable. At the time, I was in 5th grade, and it was spot-on for me. But if today's kids watch it, I wonder if our generation's school buildings would be considered old buildings in reverse.
- Tomorrow marks the 21st anniversary, huh?
- Congratulations on the 21st anniversary of the broadcast start!
- Are the surnames of the main characters derived from station names? Miyano-shita Station (Hakone Tozan Railway) Kakinoki Station (JR East Tadami Line) Aoyama Station (Located in Iwate, Niigata, and Aichi) Koigakubo Station (Seibu Railway)

Coming from a country that had a proper dub of the series, despite not being what I'd regard as a "deep" anime, it does have a thoughtful theme behind it, that of things that are abandoned and forgotten due to to progress and development. Even if it didn't, what would be wrong with just being a fun episodic series? It's messed up that a guy with this line of reasoning even had a job as a writer and director.

Interesting, shame the anime's reputation took this hit. Making a fake narrative like this was unnecessary and shit. Still, I'm glad the joke dub exists. Stupid dub comedies like Ghost Stories, Kung Pao, Sealab 2021, and Punch Punch Forever! make me giggle like a dumb baby.

I don't think toshio had too much of a choice, I mean he has to save the village and he can't just pick up a random shiki and expect himself to make it out alivd esecially since he damn near got himself killed after his first encounter with one. Still a pretty fucked situation i mean holy shit that was his wife and he just cut her open like a fish and she was aware of everything.

Explanation of the visualizations reminds me of Bakemonogatari, where long stretches of dialogue are given flavor with visuals that complement the thoughts and intentions of the characters. Like, if it's two characters in constructive conversation, they'll start building an increasingly intricate playing card house. When someone says a non-sequitur or loses composure, the cards fall. Or else, one of the characters starts climbing a rock wall. That sort of thing, gives weight to what's being said and better conveys the feelings of the characters.

the visual flair is a nice touch. what i mean is the "camera effects" like fishbowl lens and so on that are used in soap operas for dramatic scenes, it was kinda funny when toshio kicked a wood plank in anger and the screen did the bollywood flash

Taking a life is not justice. No matter what kind of noble cause you're fighting for, it's still murder. I have no taste for killing, whether the victim is human or something else.
i understand where Seishin is coming from and all and its his opinion but he's a bitch and i wouldn't be shocked if his blood will be sucked and when that happens he'd end up being a vampire and even more of a bitch since so many innocent people will end up suffering by the hand of actually evil people. speaking of bitches, Tohru is also a bitch for making a fake grave for his friend he converted to a shiki, all of the shit he did could have been avoided and he chose the easy path so fuck that guy lol.

If anyone plans on watching shiki, i wouldn' t miss out on the shiki special episodes, after episode 20, watch special 20.5, and so on.
the manga is actually pretty interesting although i spot no diffrences so far besides the artistic usage of realism on backgrounds, clothes, gloves and such.

Was all the SoL stuff really necessary? It felt like they were desperate to make you empathize with the main crew so they waited until the last episode of the season for shit to go down, ending it with a cheap cliffhanger so you know S2 totally won't be as much of a waste.
I was actually looking forward to this when I watched the prologue last year, but now I'd only watch to see how bad it can get

It seemed like this Gundam would be good from the prologue. The only thing I remember about the first season is that scene where Sulletta killed that guy for shock value and then when she sperged out during the presentation. My memory of the show is horrible because I perceive it to be a generic modern anime with Gundams.

The only positive to me is the design of the mechs and how they gave it a strong "anime" feel for lack of a better word, but how they even got this show off of the ground in the first place astounds me.

If you watched a retro anime and a modern remake counterpart, did you notice anything diffrent? do they both have stuff that makes them good or is there a line to draw in the sand? Are there clear diffrences in retro anime (production or otherwise) and modern anime? Does it matter?

To me modern anime feels like it's a more competent and directed effort at trying to release endorphins in the viewer.
Since I don't appreciate this I prefer older titles that were worse at this, if that was even their goal.

I think funding is a double edge sword, lack of funding means shit graphics but the struggle involved might produce a decent product, While more money might produce something with outstanding visuals but mediocre story. (also having a pillow of money to rely on can make peoole lazy) Also there was a transition from hand drawn to digital, one is more labor intensive but pretty (at times) and the other has ways of making things much easier for the artist (although animators of the hand draw style do have various tricks they use.)
You don't exactly have to pay for dyes and ink pots for digital.
Also, i noticed modern animators using CGI in anime with mixed results.

There is something i cannot stand about modern anime and it's colours' saturation.
In modern anime colours are saturated to the point of insanity, everything is so bright like do i have to have my entire eyes melted?

For me it is mostly the art and animation style. Newer anime can have a great story, even as good as older anime, but the animation just doesn't look as good as it used to.
I understand the cost and time but I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of new anime would look heavily dated ten years from now with how the animate the shows today.

By the way, older anime (in 80s for example) was literally drawed and sketched by people who wrote helluva amount of kanji in school, and its super visible on composition and outlines. Modern one is made by ppl who got little to no experience in kanji and it looks cartoonish.

Is there any database that catalogues what sound effects libraries certain animes used? Anonymous Tue 30/04/2024 2:46:32 PM 9 months ago No. 413

I want to create a fan edit of an anime movie and am trying to replace music in some scenes. Extracting the voices is easy enough these days with AI, but removing the music but keeping the sound effects is a lot more difficult. Especially because no tool to my knowledge has this exact functionality. So my next best bet is to find the sound library that the movie used and recreating the exact effects heard in that scene. I know for a fact that a sound library was likely used for the film due to it being rather low budget.

Is there any site like that? If not, what else could I do?

you CAN attempt to re-create sounds with a mic and various objects. i wouldn't be shocked if they do SELL sounds used in the production of anime but i can't imagine how to buy them.

You know this thread just like reminded me that some of the official movies used in Gachimuchi Pants Wrestling or Wrestling Series as a whole uploaded to Nico Nico Douga used the same sound effect library as Japanese animation studios.

Like the first time I heard this in the Nurse Witch Komugi commercial I couldn't stop laughing for a good few minutes just in pure shock.

The sound affects in most anime are electronc noises which in some cases are the exact same but slowed down or with reverb.

We should make our own original 22chan sound effect library that we can use in OC.
