He wakes up a half-ghoul and all the problems that come with it.
Series in one selective, crusty image:
Intriguing. Not only did it show how humans experience these creatures, but also the struggles the ghouls have to go through in order not be a nuisance. You'd expect monsters to just be monsters, but they have real concerns.
A less exciting part of the series was the friendship between the main character and this one ghoul girl he supposedly hangs out with all the time. The show implies they've spent alot of time together, but their relationship didn't look that tight to me. He treats her nicely, but I didn't see the same level of respect returned to him, yet the scenes and dialogue concerning these two pretend they're good friends.. or something. It's hard to explain.
Anyway, not sure what else to say. I never got around to the second season; I watched this show long before it came out, so I'd have to watch it again just to refresh my memory some more. But season 1 did feel like an introduction to something greater, so maybe I should go through the effort of watching the rest someday. The ending was pretty awesome.
I wonder if a ghoul is into showing respect and being kind. Isn't that a human idea of how relationships should be?
