I could not agree more!

Although, if you're not into the show's comedy, I can see the first 18 or so episodes being a slog to get through. I was super into the show's social commentary, and I loved how the yokai were inept members of society. In that way, they reminded me of the monsters from Beetlejuice. But I don't blame others for not being charmed.

The answer is clear from the original post. He never got very far into either of the shows. He didn't give them enough of a chance before jumping to his conclusion.

These three shows, while distinct, are very much of a piece. On every level, it's clear that the same guy was in charge of each. If the OP was interested in continuing through those series, I think he'd find himself very well rewarded.
