Tokyo Ghost Trip (2008)

This show was an interesting and cute watch. While it is episodic, the viewers feel compelled to keep watching because of a single background mystery which is counting down to the show's climax. The characters are amusing and one could easily say the series mostly is putting a set of foils into different situations and seeing what occurs between the characters.

The main con that I had with this show is that occassionally it just fell flat. The acting, the script, or the pacing tended to be at fault--and I usually blame the pacing. Because the show's running time is short and the series is episodic, I always felt as though things did not get to develop "naturally", and it bothered me.

That aside, I still give this show an overall rating of 7, because the overarching plot and characters were interesting.
