Mixed Feelings
I just finished watching Kousetsu Hyaku Monogatari and I must say that I'm very, very disappointed.

KHM started as a very interesting show. The short stories from the first 7 or 8 episodes were good enough for me to watch with close attention, an 8 score anime. But then it started to get pretty dull. And the ending (episodes 12 and 13) was just terrible. Typical shounen mambo jambo, full of meaningless catchphrases, heroes who show up in the right time and plot holes: several plot holes. Also, I did not feel I was watching a horror series, even with all the decapitations, rape and japanese ghost folclore dialogues.

Despite the general disappointment, I do not consider KHM a waste of time. It was OK, a 6 score anime. The art has some pretty neet stuff, especially on the backgrounds, and the voicing was acceptable. I cannot remember the quality of the soundtrack, so I'll just assume it was powerless.

The main characters are also a problem in KHM. Not one of them did I find loveble, not because they're all archetypes, but because the producers did not have the hability to turn those archetypes into delicious characters. Also, I found very predictable and tiring the inclusion of a naggin' female character with large boobs.

So, in conclusion, if you want to watch a horror anime and you don't feel like watching Gantz or Shigurui, I guess you can watch this. But do not expect much more than a FINE (6) show.
