Ghost Stories Anime Sequel [Improved upon]

[Jurassic Weeb]

With Halloween behind us, I know this is a bit late. However, I went and watched the entire English dub of the anime Ghost Stories. Despite the fact that the dubbers were allowed to have fun with this, I enjoyed the series... kind of like Scooby-Doo on crack and laughing gas.

Anyway, I had an idea for the sequel RP: five years after the events of the series, paranormal activity begins happening again. So it's up to a group of teens to wrangle in the restless spirits and demons. However, a new player has entered the mix: a mysterious, masked young man with a scythe who goes by "Reaper"... who just happens to be the new exchange student from America.

Considering the tone of the dub, we'll tone it back so that we don't offend people... as much.

Anyway, this will partly be a comedy (especially darker comedy). As for the established characters, we'll tone their traits down to a manageable level (ie- Momoko trying to convert people less, or bring up people going to hell).

So, any takers?

Hi again. I'm not sure if you saw my suggestions in the last thread on how to get this RP off its feet, but whether you did or not, I can see improvement from the last thread to this one...however, literally the only thing you changed was "We don't have to use canon characters again". If people don't like or haven't heard of Ghost Stories, this alone won't change a thing for your RP. Just gonna leave these pieces of what I said last time and put them here again...

UnendingEmpire said You've chosen perhaps one of the most innocuous "horror" animes I've ever seen or heard of. I'd actually be surprised if anyone on this forum other than you and I are even aware it exists. On top of which, the dub - while funny - was sadly not all that great (and I hear the original Japanese wasn't so good either), which sets a poor starting tone for the RP itself. But perhaps the final nail in the coffin is...Ghost Stories ended. Ouma was defeated, Amanojaku is no longer stuck in a cat, and the scary ghosts & demons that were running around...aren't running around anymore.

2) Make this into an original RP; I could probably help with this if you find it difficult. It's not uncommon for original RPs around here to be based on varying anime, and I happened to like the general idea of Ghost Stories even if I found the show itself lackluster.
2.5) If you did go the original route, you could even strike out it being a sequel altogether and just make it a comedic monster-busting RP styled after Ghost Stories. Not part of the big two suggestions, but a very possible route you could take if you turned this into an original-setting RP instead of "Ghost Stories RP"

I really would like to help you get this RP going, since like I said last time, I happened to like the idea behind Ghost Stories even if I thought the show was lackluster. But I doubt you'll get any interest if you base it so directly off the material that inspired this RP.
