GHOST HOUND

[KitKat]

I just started this one and watched the first five eps in a row (when I should have been doing homework....bah, anime is going to make me fail school) and I had no problems with the pacing. I can see how the episodes would be frustrating one at a time, but watched all together it feels like an appropriate speed. It feels more real. They've done a pretty good job of character development so far, giving us some info not only about everyone's past, but their families and community as well.

My favourite part so far was when they were being purified by the shrine priest, and the Tokyo kid tries to run away from having his hair cut, and the big eyed girl looks at him and says, "Take it like a man." She's quite the feisty one.

The crazy grandmother just scares me. I wouldn't be surprised if they were to meet her in the Unseen World somewhere.

The reiteration of the Black Giant in the woods is interesting. It could be the spirit of the kidnapper left behind after he was killed. I'm curious too about what they meant by saying that the abandoned village is a boundary between the seen and Unseen worlds. Could this hypothetically mean that there might be travel in both directions? Looking forward to the next episode.

I remember them talking about how the kidnapper should have been taking orders from someone else, or how he had another objective or something. I might've been confused it with other series, but that would mean the Black Giant (or Ghost?) was behind it somehow.

I think that hospital is some sort of gate that allows the crossing between the two worlds. The three guys just did it.

The big eyed girl (Miyako, she even has a name) didn't look happy, not happy at all.

[Buffalobiian]

This show is like a weekly psychology/neurology lesson. I like that. It was good how the girl views a souless body as something akin to stone. Beside the angry look, the other thing that stood out was that she was sort of worried as Torou stared at the rift, but for some reason, she left afterwards. It's known now that she can see spirits, but she can see into their minds too?

[Buffalobiian]

What the heck? A release this time of the week? Not complaining.

EP 7 Genjo 720p

You got that damn right! Especially this episode. Having only studied some more or less superficial psychology in high school I find I have very little knowledge on which to base any critical viewing of this show, and thus half of what they say could be made up and improvised by the author and I would never know, but nevertheless it's very interesting. I also like how, again especially well illustrated in this episode, they go back and forth between the supernatural and the psychological, and there's no clear traditional division there; for example the temple priest seems to think there's something psychologically wrong with Miyako the big eyed girl.

It's also insanely refreshing the three dudes (and Miyako) don't have their "powers" to save the world from some demon, mad scientist, or alien invaders...

Yeah, and the first time I saw the OP with the three guys working together against some ghost thing, I thought this was going to be a digimon type thing. So glad I was wrong. .

I've been doing a year of anatomy and human biology at uni gives me some deeper knowledge, and all the physiological things they said about the brain and all are entirely true. I'm willing to assume the psychology aspects are equally valid.

That election candidate is definitely suspicious. But how does a person go, OMG, you look exactly like this guy I knew who makes me sh!t my pants, but I only noticed that until you tell me who you are....

The professor has a purpose now. I was starting to see him as a nice guy after that scene where they discussed Torou's mother. Still nice, I suppose, just with a purpose now.

Give the late dog another chance to bark:

Episode 8 HD - Genjo

[Buffalobiian]

So Miyako acknowledges that what she sees is something that's in her mind...That's interesting that she knows that, or rather, thinks that. I'm pretty positive that the tall black ghost is the kidnapper or his boss, but why can Makoto see it? I don't think the other brown haired guy could. I also find the use of sound distortion matches this anime very well. Just hope Nipponsei releases an ED single.

edit: what was the psycologist doing with his finger? I thought he was pushing his glasses up, but they were nowhere near.

It's been a while since the last release, but here it is, Genjo's Ghost Hound 9

And guess what happened this week? Tarou digivolve to....Tarou-Garurumon!!! Surprisingly, I wasn't really put off by this. I liked the weapon select move too. Wonder if heat-seekers work on ghosts. As long as this doesn't go downhill, I'm happy.

Genjo ep 10.

[Kraco]

Doesn't show any signs of going downhill. It had to go somewhere, though, and thus it's good it chose a direction (well, let's say a preliminary one if not anything exact yet). The relaxed pace of the series never bothered me at all because there certainly were lots of stuff in this show to keep you occupied but for the story's own sake it has to proceed. It kind of baffles me that slowly everybody and their dogs start to see supernatural things in the town but then again I can't yet predict what the whole thing will present before the end.

And I never quite realised this. I thought Miyako and Tarou would have made such a nice pair...

[Buffalobiian]

lol, Tarou blushed. Funny how the priest is more of a scholar who knows about the customs, but with no beliefs. I think in the next eps or so, Makoto's going to be obsessed or be corrupted by his wolf changing and the other fellows will have to bring him back. Hit transformation looked much better than Tarou's, abit looking evil. This pace has allowed them to introduce a lot of mysteries without feeling cramped or overloading, but if they intend to solve them all, they'll have to start soon.

Patiently waiting for the ED

[Buffalobiian]

ED is finally here.

[Subiedubidoo]

i just love this, thanks for the eps...it just too dam intriguing.cant wait to see more of this much much more.
