Hope season 2 will have a bigger budget so the anime can actually be scary, not just a comedy disguised as horror.
As a fan of the manga, i have to admit that season 1 of the anime had serious issues. They toned down the horror elements so much compared to the original work that it lost the terrifying atmosphere it once had, making most viewers feel neither scared nor disturbed. Many scenes in the anime were altered, drastically reducing the horror impact to an alarming degree. For example, the scene where Keitaro is dragged into the air by the fake Yayoi in the H Castle ruin, studio OLM turned Yayoi’s Jeff the Killer–like face from the manga into something more like a clown (Joker) in the anime. I still remember laughing in despair at that moment, realizing just how poor the production quality had become. |
| Horror in Manga is almost impossible to translate into animation, I've never seen it done well. Doesn't make me any less excited for this though, season one entertained me to no end. The tunnel ghost arc was absolutely amazing. |
| Anybody who complains about "wish fufilment" on this website should be pelted with rocks. |
| I did feel scared a bit during that young kid ghost arc (the one with meatballs and stuff). And I found that part really creepy, so I think they did a good job there. It's very rare for horror manga to translate well to anime, so I hope they can do it more justice next season. Anyway I am happy that we are getting a second season for this very underrated anime, I feel like I was watching this alone when it was airing. |
| I mean a lot of anime just can’t produce a manga’s quality that well. Some manga’s just have way too distinct art styles |

But, yeah the animation for the first season was quite mid. |
