It's not the boom bam kablooey stuff we usually have. It's actually a little refreshing to watch an anime where everyone speaks naturally and quietly. Personally I think the psychology they bring into it is fascinating, and though I always have to pause the video to actually understand and read what the subs describe, it just make the anime more interesting than "just another horror/ghost story". ps. I heard the monkey butts won't be there forever :) This show is really an acquired taste. It’s not the boom bam kablooey stuff we usually have.

I guess we'll see more of how they're connected as the series progresses. @IKnight: "My Goodness, My Ghost Hound!" I lol-ed. Good work sir. @Orion: Strongbow’s good but it’s more of a summertime drink…I have ep #7 on my hard drive so I’ll give it a watch this weekend.

Since I'm not watching it, I lack the capability to make an intelligent comment, so perhaps that will have to do. Still, this show begins to sound intriguing. My Goodness, My Ghost Hound!

The characters distinct personalities where noticeable. I should say that the way their implicit thoughts were portrayed was what struck me. There is a lot of, "I know what your thinking" going on when I watch the show. I like that. I can't handle Guinness in any substantial amount. It's mostly the weight, a bit strong taste as well, and not related to alcohol. I never was much of a drinker, anyhow. I think I’ve managed to get over the “beige buttocks,” for the time being.

Oh wow, I didn't even notice that until you pointed it out. Nooo, now the show is ruined for me!! "Unfortunately I still need to be convinced of their relevance to the story, which still seems to be a more straightforward tale of a parallel world than the numerous allusions to psychology indicate." Have you seen past episode 6 yet? 7 - 8 were the episodes that really started to tie all these meandering themes together, IMO. Edit: Also, I prefer a good pint of Tennent's Stout and Strongbow myself. But I won't hold that against you. ;) “…the bizarre beige buttocks that the artists have tacked onto their backsides.”
