Telepathy Shoujo Ran - Episode 6

I hate to keep harping on about Telepathy Shoujo Ran as a modern equivalent to Scooby-Doo, but it seems that every episode brings that comparison to bear further and further.

Episode six is the most blatant example of this so far, featuring a hot spring bath and hotel (no anime would be complete without a spring bath episode) that is supposedly haunted, while at the same time some famous local businessman is looking to buy the property for himself. You can almost guarantee that the second part of this story will have said businessman unmasked as the ghost by 'those pesky kids', but for now we're left with what appear to be some actual ghosts, and a story that is fairly entertaining overall.


Yes, despite being a tad predictable, Telepathy Shoujo Ran once again proves to be nothing if not fun, with the interplay between Rin, Ran, Rui and Midori in various combinations managing to keep things light-hearted, while the whole telepathy aspect of the show doesn't get much of a run out but does at least succeed in moving on the storyline in a easy yet rather well-done way. As long as you're not looking for anything serious or thought-provoking, then this series so far has done a decent enough job of keeping each episode ticking over to make for an entertaining twenty-five minutes.
