2----
3* The backstory of the ghost taxi driver from episode 10. Even the GagDub can't get around how bullshit his tale is.
4-->'''Satsuki:''' "Okay, that was the most depressing story I've ever heard! I mean, what was that all about? He's negative and then he gets hit by a semi? Where is God?"
5* The watchman's Heroic Sacrifice from episode 16.
6-->"Well, I figured I may as well since it was my fault in the first place, ''and'' I'm old and horny and don't make a lot of money."
7* The episode where Keiichirou and Amanojyaku set off to the old hospital where Kayako died of illness.
8** The GagDub manages to make the reading of Kayako's letter both touching and hilarious at the same time.
9* Yuki's backstory in episode 17. Her mother, a waitress at a nearby hotel, abandoned her at the inn. In the original, it is stated that she waited every day for her mother to return by the lake until one day she fell in and died. Even the dub notes how sad this is, and although they poke fun at Yuki (she insists that she was popular, even though it's clear she was super lonely), she does say that she waited and waited for help but no one came. From her perspective, no one cared about her, even as she was dying. Her motivation ultimately was trying to have a friend in the afterlife...by killing one of the living. Hajime notes in the original that this unjustified, but nonetheless very tragic. The gang paying their respects for the dead girl (who is their age) is implied to have finally put her to spiritual peace (since at last someone cared about her) and a light snow falls upon them.
10* Amanojaku's HeroicSacrifice and Satsuki's last stand in the English dub manages to combine this with SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome, SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming|Moments}} AND SugarWiki/{{Funny|Moments}}.
11-->"It's one thing to mess with me, It's one thing to mess with my little brother and my friends...BUT DON'T [[PrecisionFStrike FUCK]] WITH MY CAT!"
