Is the ghost stories English dub worth watching
>>
No.

If you're 14 and its 2008 then sure.

>>284660591
i'll take it as a yes then

It's essentially a meme dub. So, yeah, if that's your thing. Otherwise, just skip it and don't waste your time.
>>
>>284660103
It's very funny for the first few episodes, but eventually it gets repetitive.

Not really but neither is the original show.

The original unbastardized version is a pretty nice spoopy episodic show for kids. Think Goosebumps and Are you Afraid of the Dark. This show was actually properly dubbed in my native language when I was a kid and some episodes definitely spooked me. If you're a grownass man, then it's still a nice time capsule of turn of the millennium Japan horror pop culture.

To give the dub some credit, some jokes do actually do hit quite well even if viewed in a vacuum outside the context of the show. But those are few and far in-between and quickly devolve to >>284660970. You're better of just watching short "best of" clips of the dub in youtube or something.
>>
>>284660103
If you're going to watch it don't binge it. It's pretty fucking funny but if you just try to blast through it all in one sitting it'll lose its luster. Watch like two episodes on the weekend or something.

>>284660103
I'd say it's at least worth checking out even if it might not end up being your type of humor.

I'd even say check out the original Japanese alongside it since English subtitles have always been easily available for it as long as the dub existed, since the original audio/subs were included alongside the dub in releases (just making this clear because sometimes it seems like people who dislike the dub react as though it tried to bury the existence of the original or something), for a few reasons:
>so you can experience the original obviously, maybe you might like it better if the dub's humor isn't your thing
>some of the jokes in the dub are actually based off the Japanese audio/subs, but you won't recognize them for what they are if you only watch the episode dubbed
>>
If you like south park style humor you’ll enjoy it. The comedy comes from the characters being assholes.

>>284660103
No, and I daresay it's a foot in the door for everything cancer about localization today.

The thing about the dub is that it's a perfect time capsule of early 2000s humor. If you grew up during the Bush administration it's a great nostalgia trip.

Is there a Japanese equivalent to this? As in, a foreign production that was given a Japanese gag dub?

The dub is great comedy. The genuine sub makes it into a perfectly fine Japanese horror show for kids/teens that can be watched and enjoyed by anyone. It's very solid, there's nothing bad about it at all. Well worth a legit watch.

It's fun to watch with friends. I know that can be hard for people on /a/ to do though.
>>
>>284660103
It's a shitty meme pushed by people that don't like anime. The actual show is better.
>>
>>284661254
This. It's way more popular as a best of compilation and this is cause that really is the best of it. Actually watching the whole series is like watching a gagdub over goosebumps of some people really really trying to be southpark.

The superior gagdub is MXC anyway.
>>
>>284664006
No, sometimes people just find adult swim humor funny actually.
Ghost Stories, the show, is a fairly mediocre and by the numbers supernatural/yokai anime.
>>
>>284662026
This. Part of why I liked it was because of how 2000s it feels.

No English dubs of any anime have ever been worth watching. No exceptions.

>No, sometimes people just find adult swim humor funny actually.
The revaluation of adult swim not really being that funny happened ages ago too. They had like three good original shows and were constantly seething behind the scenes that most people tuned in for the anime and then bounced when their irony cartoons came on.

If you're underage I guess.
Adult Swim had plenty of great shows. I still put on my old Aqua Teen and Birdman DVDs every now and then.
