Anime

Ghost Stories&nbsp;is a 20 episode long anime that was created in 2000, and that adapts Tōru Tsunemitsu's books of the same name. The premise is&nbsp;simple: a group of preteens (and their evil cat sidekick) investigate and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-ghosts-anime/reference" target="_blank">fight ghosts</a> in their town, with the help of a book left by the protagonist's dead mother.After the anime turned out to be a complete flop on Japanese TV, Animax <a href="https://www.tokyopop.com/blog/ghost-stories-perhaps-the-best-dubbed-anime-around" target="_blank">approached</a> ADV Films to create the Ghost Stories&nbsp;English dub. When the contract was made, Animax&nbsp;did not expect the series&nbsp;to fare much better with the American market. The company was under huge financial pressure, so the dubbing team was given a unique&nbsp;amount of creative freedom. The first English dub of&nbsp;Ghost Stories&nbsp;has since become a cult classic, as an obscure, sub-par anime series for kids became a hilarious, self-aware, and highly offensive fan favorite.&nbsp;
