Ghost Fighter

  • Thoughts While Watching “Ghost Fighter” as An Adult

    When I was a child, I thought Ghost Fighter was a horror anime and was very hesitant to watch it. Because, ghosts. It was one of the first アニメ we 90s kids have ever loved along with Dragon Ball Z, Flame of Recca and others. Good thing, Netflix brought it back. So here are just some of my random thoughts while watching. Things we could have missed out when we were pure innocent children. Enjoy.

    Pilot Episode

    • Opening scene was brutal and very teleserye. Namatay agad si Eugene.
    • In the beginning of the episode, the driver was denying that it was his fault but we would soon find out that he was a reckless driver.
    • Whoever thought of the Westernized names of the Filipino version was an absolute genius. Eugene for Yusuke and Alfred for Kuwabara.
    • Eugene was just 14 years old.
    • Eugene was a troubled kid and in the pilot, he was being called to go to the guidance office and not the principal’s office. #Rehabilitation Annalise is proud.
    • Eugene’s mother could be suffering from depression, and she was watching some weirdly drawn TV show.
    • The anime was based on a manga and was inspired by the environment of Japan then. Ang galing lang how Japan maintained everything good about the country like its cleanliness, the school uniforms. Basta.
    • Why is Eugene wearing a green uniform when all his classmates and schoolmates are in blue?
    • Eugene’s funeral photo is red carpet ready. #hot
    • It’s a good thing that Eugene wasn’t cremated or else…
    • Bakit lagi nakatago ang kaliwang kamay ni Charlene?
    • Ang ikli lang pala ng bawat episode. Thanks GMA for the many commercials.
