The art was no question relevant to the plot. All details that would come to mind of what i would expect were there. I can not think of any way i would change it. The idea of not knowing who the narator is a wonderful concept. Very decision based and the conclusion to reason makes you think. (Side note the side story “Gregory Horror Show: The Bloody Karte” is a bit better some of the jokes actually stick and work well with the characters.)Ī somewhat personalized anime. Overall the show is a let down it’s really short running about 3 minutes per episode, but it’s not really worth your time. The plot is pretty dull, they even explain things that you could have potentially enjoyed trying to find meaning for on your own. The animation is lackluster but not particularly bad. The characters have pretty unique personalities. There’s not much else to really say about the show. I do remember cringing at some points but that is do to the fact that the dvd I received only has the English dub which is pretty painful to begin with. Over the course of season 1 I don’t recall laughing at all, or getting scared. Although you can tell that the show is trying, the spooks just fall flat and the humor is badly timed. This is actually a detail I quite like, but the rest of the show falls short, nothing is actually scary. Each episode starts with our “protagonist” giving a short voice over which sets the tone or “theme” for the episode. With its awkward 3D CGI animation and title in fonts reminiscent of Microsoft Word 2003’s word art, I had to give it a try!įor a show that is supposed to be a horror/comedy (as described by the dvd’s back) I was hoping for a lot more. My friend recently purchase a bundle of anime dvd’s, in said bundle was the ever intriguing Gregory Horror Show. Gregory Horror Show, where to start with this series? I guess I’ll start with how I came acrossed such an obscure series.
It's amazing what you can fit into 2 and a half minutes

The revelations experienced by these 'guests' are thought provoking to say the least, when you get beyond the initial look at this series you find it has a suprising amount of depth.
The story is told from the first person perspective of the unfortunate people who wander into Gregory house, the reasons which are unknown to them, but are slowly revealed throughout the series. Speaking of the characters there's a great variety on offer, from the pink lizard 'nurse' who takes extreme pleasure from taking blood samples to mummy dog and mummy papa, a father and son team who complain about their splitting headaches, not realising the cause is that they have an axe and a machete stuck in their heads. The CGI box-like art style is unlike anything I've seen and the cartoony character designs are really striking next to the dark settings. If you're looking for something a little bit different Gregory Horror Show has everything you're after and so much more.
