The American release, Castle Shikigami 2, was known for its Engrish dialogue, produced as a result of overly literal translation combined with stilted and generally unemotional voice acting.
Subaru and Hokuto are good friends with a kindly and magically-aware veterinarian named SeishirÅ Sakurazuka, whom they met at a railway station after Subaru's shikigami led him on a bizarre chase.
