This anime is aimed to those who are going to elementary school - children between the ages of about five to eleven! Otherwise, if you are more mature and still you like this so called horror, you have no refined taste in horror genre or you are know - nothing about that. Every elements of horror fiction failed in this story - capacity of frighten is low, ridiculous. I haven't experienced feeling of terror, shocks, repulsion or loathing. And did I mention a story - it is a classic boring ghost hunt story (which I have nothing against), and this ( read more)

And did I mention a story - it is a classic boring ghost hunt story (which I have nothing against), and this one is only boring with annoying stereotypical characters bad developed and badly designed. Animation and music effects are monotonic and repetitive. So, this anime is more a comedy or parody to a ghost stories, little worse than other stupid low quality horror anime Shinrei Tantei Yakumo.

I first watched this when I was in primary school and so of course I chickened out first episode in (before anything scary happened XD). On the spur of the moment I randomly just picked it up again to see how much horror I could take. Well I LOVED it.
Ok anyone whose read the manga or the light novels and loved them than you'll enjoy the anime just as much. The order of the stories are different and in the anime some of the stories found inside the manga volumes are not found in the anime.
The dialogue is good regardless of which language you ( read more)

The dialogue is good regardless of which language you watch it in. English dub is available here and I think Jap is too (haven't checked). Though I must for the Australian accent (for English dub, Japanese usually a different dialect/accent of Japanese to do this) was just ridiculous, hardly anyone in Australia has a bogan accent like that. Sometimes makes it hard to take the character seriously...at least from my perspective.
Story wise it consists of a number of stories that last usually over the span of two to three episodes. Or on the rare occasion just one. They vary in horror about one or two of these stories were scary (top being the Bloodstained Labyrinth). They are pretty good though maybe not a good idea to be watching around 12-4am when its still dark outside.
Animation has nothing fantastic. Its all easy to follow and is the usual standard of anime so nothing too bad or too great about it.
I recommend to people in the horror genre, supernatural powers or even just ghosts/youkai/ayakashi (call it what you like). For those looking for a better ending than what is provided I suggest you read the manga which has a more solid ending than the anime. ( show less)

Ghost Hunt was the first horror genre anime I've ever seen, and despite the terror-induced chills that it sent down my spine, I couldn't help but finish every episode, even if I did have to watch it from between my fingers. However, I'm a complete wimp when it comes to anything relatively creepy, so for those of you who like a more traditional or hardcore horror, this is probably more along the lines of a suspense or thriller anime.
The plot moves in such a way that the individual stories, or "cases", can take around two or more episodes to solve ( read more)

The plot moves in such a way that the individual stories, or "cases", can take around two or more episodes to solve the haunting. It is serious at times, but the diverse, quirky ghost hunting team balances it out well. There's even a tiny bit of romance between the characters, but if you're not careful, you'll blink and miss it. If you're looking for an entertaining, spooky story to watch in the middle of the night, I'd defiantly check this out! ( show less)

I have this anime on DVD - The Complete Collection Edition. This is one that I had to have on factory made disc and packaging to add to my personal collection.
Ghost hunt is an excellent anime all around. It has an excellent paranormal theme that is actually shown in a way that is not totally cliched and overused like the whole "Paranormal" movie and show craze that is swept the states.
I commend the japanese in thier unbelievably great storytelling. The Ghost Hunt crew is no exception. They take a genre that has the potential to be totally ( read more)

I commend the japanese in thier unbelievably great storytelling. The Ghost Hunt crew is no exception. They take a genre that has the potential to be totally overused and make gold.
Ghost hunt has a cast of characters that is so varied and makes a great "Paranormal" Investigations Team. YOu have a cool intelligent calm headed manager with his assitant and a new young female trainee who is a total fan of the work of her new internship's business, ecspecially the owner. She finds out fast the man is different in person than the rumors and gossip that create the "story" behind him. Next you have the famous TV paranormal investigator superstar. You have an orthodox priest and a psychic, demonologist and all of them make an unconventional crew that are not all together in the same company, but they often end up on the same cases.
This makes for great tension, comedy, drama, bits of romance thrown in and not to forget the most important- creepy and totally great mysterious paranormal investigation antics that will surely give you some measure of enjoyment. I think alot of anime veiwing types could find fun here but it is not a super crazy demonic monstrous super battles against undead demons supernatural but a more para-psychology type of drama. That is not to say that it does not have amazing visuals and animation. It is along the line of the more subtle creepy eyes moving possesed doll, haunted items or a demonic presence torturing a family.
All in all a great mystery suspense thriller drama all mixed into a cool supernatural paranormal investigation crew theme. All the cases seem like they could be real hauntings but Ghost Hunt makes theme more action oriented and interesting through great animation and storytelling. ( show less)

I'm 20 yrs old and I've been watching anime for about 10 yrs now, So I've seen alot of anime and I've never seen anything that comes close to as frighteningly and suspenseful as Ghost Hunt. This is the scariest anime I've seen. Anime's like berserk, Hellsing, Devil May Cry, Pet Shop of horrors, perfect blue, and Highschool of the Dead had monsters in it but they never really were scary.
I was watching this by myself at night and had to cut the lights on cause it was so scary. But yeah it has a good story and the episodes spans out into cases ( read more)

Definitely check this out if you are a suspense and thriller fan cause it will have you jumping or turning on the lights. BEWARE!!!
I'm definitely i'm going to watch and episode or two on Halloween along with Soul Eater ( show less)
