Ghost Stories: The Infamous English Dub

10/8/2023
It may be the most spooktacular month of the year, but on today’s episode of The Best Boys, Best Boys Dan and Justin have something a little lighthearted and silly for you! In the spirit of Halloween, take a deep dive into the hilarious dumpster fire that is the English dub of the 2001 anime adaptation of Ghost Stories.
