[Review]Ghost Hunt

Introduction:

I accidentally stumbled Ghost Hunt across in a streaming site, i just dont know if the one i saw has a nice sub version ^_^ but anyways most likely the anime went well till the end. Ghost hunt is not a new anime at all and its really not the right time talking about some scary anime for the first month of the year, but i think this is one hell of a kind that makes me post a review after seing it.

Synopsis:

Based on the novel by Fuyumi Ono and Shiho Inada

Taniyama Mai is your everyday high school student, who has the pastime of telling ghost stories with her friends. Much to her surprise, she meets a mysterious ghost hunter, Shibuya Kazuya, the 17 year old head of Shibuya Psychic Research, sent out to investigate strange phenomenon occurring in Mai’s school. Accidentally interfering with their investigations, Mai unintentionally causes the injury of Shibuya’s assistant, resulting in Shibuya demanding Mai herself to aid him in his investigations.

Thats the start of mai’s ordinary part time job with an extraordinary profession, eventually she get acquainted and be close to those other characters that deals with the purifying of ghost.

Review:

Ghost Hunt is about a team who solve paranormal events, the storyline is divided into different stories, each one compensate 2-4 episodes and I have to say each story was unique in its own way. All the stories excited me, some of them terrified me (like the dollhouse and the Blood Stained Labyrinth )… but all were really good. The stories made me want to watch more of the series until I had finished all of the episodes. I had finished the half of the series in a night and it took me a while to sleep, because as i close my eyes those creepy scene are flashing in my mind ^_^

This series is not scary at all instead, it is the story itself that helped to build that spooky feel. The anime can be quite suspenseful at times, it keeps the “creepiness” to a minimum What i like most on this anime is the stories themselves are very in-depth. From explanation of ESPs, poltergeists, to Japanese Folklore, Traditions and Customs and Cultural practices. I really learned a lot of things about terms that involved in a paranormal settings.

How about a date with this bishie even in a dream?

Characters are all well drawn with a unique personality. from a celebrity psychic girl to an in styled priestess. from a baby face priest to a long haired monk. and omyouji anti social guy who hates people just because they are Japanese to a student council president with a weird ways of humor and an ordinary girl tends to have an extraordinary ability as the series progress. and of course how can i forgot the main protagonist of the anime a narcissist guy who is full of himself with a pride of mount Fuji. Every character did not progress until the end.. but it somehow suite the story^_^ ( yeah this anime despite of the many characters i tend to remember each on of them pati ata yung chant na tinuro kay mai heheheh ^_^ )

The Opening and ending theme is just ok. but it really gives me the creepyness so i tend to skip it a lot hehehhe but the sound effect are all good through out the series that gives the scene a more scary touch ^_^

I really have fun watching this anime not scary at all and the humor are worth in the ear, seriously their punchline are funny specially Yasuhara san. Ghost Hunt left me aching for more, each case was a mystery, and was solved in a clever way – don’t you love detective stories? ( and naru reminds me of L hehehe ) Its really worth watching but i will just remind you of the ending, thats not what im expecting and it really dissapointed me for a while but anyways Ghost Hunt will not waste your time.
