Side note: I am pausing my Serial Experiments Lain and Tokyo Ghoul...for Ghost Stories (English dub)...

The ham of the "4-5 kids on a series of paranormal investigations - not guys in a mask"...with humor like this:

...essentially, because the series flopped in Japan, the orders to the dubbers were this: Here's the plot summary. Here's the character names. You make up whatever lines will make this thing sell.

...so this is a canon abridged anime dub. From 2000-2005.
