Gakkou no Kaidan or Ghost stories as many people know it is kinda a hilarious story. The original subbed version is nothing to write home about, with over-used cliches and decent animation. It's clear that the anime wasn't going to do anything special.

Despite all that the dub is one of the funniest anime's I've ever had the pleasure of watching. The voice actors do not follow the script and instead improve hilarious jokes. Sucking out any 'fear' there was supposed to be in the first place. But even then it makes good jabs at the horror this anime was trying to convey.

I'd say if ... you need a good laugh skip all those anime's that are labeled as comedy but only make you force a chuckle and watch this instead. It'll have you laughing so hard, that you'll want to show it to all your friends.

Some of the jokes but be considered a bit offensive in the dub but just don't even bother caring. It's a hilarious dub.

This manga, oh my god how do I begin to explain it? It's honestly one of the best manga's I've read.
If you are looking for a good psychological manga with a deep character psyche look no further. There were so many times that the dialogue and characters felt real, it never feels forced. The art, my god the art is some of the most beautiful I've ever seen. I highly suggest buying this manga because the covers on the later ones are so beautiful I had a few people complement me on just the colors!
I seriously enjoyed this manga but do feel that ... if you are looking to have a fun happy-go-lucky manga I'd look else where. This one will make you feel things and will force you into uncomfortable situations. A must read for anyone who enjoys psychological manga, beautiful art, and amazing timeless characters.

SE is a comedy manga that has made me laugh a few times, but has also made me emotionally invested. While the story defiantly is interesting to me, I feel that if you don't like computer lingo you might get lost in some of the dialogue. However it does make it easy enough so the basic reader can understand some of the more complex topics they cover.

Story 7:
The story seems to be a bit predictable at times however I am defiantly enjoying it none the less.

Art 8:
I personally really like the style of SE, it has a nice feel to it and doesn't ... seem to stuck to the typical anime style, it's more like a web comic style. HOWEVER I can see why it would turn off people.

Character 7:
I think Oka Shirou is quite a bland character, he's very generic however he's helped alot by the amazing side characters.

Enjoyment 10:
I read through it in one sitting, also I'm waiting for more.

Overall 7:
SE is definitely a good manga, but I feel as if I can predict where it's going. I can't wait for more though!
