GHOST HUNT - S.1.P.1 (DVD)
Amazon.com:
Mai Taniyama, the heroine of the supernatural adventure Ghost Hunt (2006), thinks of herself as an ordinary high-school freshman who enjoys telling ghost stories with her friends--until she meets Kazuya "Naru" Shibuya. A handsome, poised senior, he runs his own company: Shibuya Psychic Research. Mai becomes Naru's assistant, helping to uncover what lies behind unexplained happenings in an abandoned building, a luxurious home, a seemingly normal high school. Glass shatters, furniture moves, things go bump in the night. Some of these actions are caused by humans, others by ghosts and poltergeists. Mai and Naru are assisted in the ghost-busting business by an argumentative supporting cast that includes John Brown, a teenage Catholic priest from Australia; Ayako Matsuzaki, a Shinto shrine maiden who's getting a little long in the tooth; Houshou Takigawa, a Buddhist monk turned rock bassist; Tao master Lin Koujo, Naru's taciturn second-in-command; and Masako Hara, a TV psychic. They perform an ecumenical assortment of exorcisms and purification rituals that rarely do much good. Mai discounts her own psychic abilities, but her vivid dreams often reveal the key to the mystery. Those dreams are also the one place where Naru becomes the warm and gentle boy she'd like him to be, rather than the arrogant, often rude guy he is in real life. Ghost Hunt is a agreeable, light-hearted fantasy that plays on suspense and character interaction, rather than violence and gore. (Rated TV 14, but suitable for viewers two to three years younger: minor violence, scarey imagery, possibly offensive religious imagery) --Charles Solomon

- Woa, How did I miss out on this?
Ghost Hunt is a very original Anime. Obviously if you haven't guess it by the title, it's about hunting ghost. The plot revolves around a highschool girl named Mai and her network of phsychic friends...um I mean fellow ghost hunters. Mai is nothing more than a helping hand to the leader of her group Naru, who ruins the show. Actually there are only 2 things that I really dislike about this anime and that's the personalities of Naru and Lin. They are the main players for the Ghost Hunting organization, ... Read More

- Flawed Gem
This series shares many flaws with most other anime, most pointedly the overly sappy crush Mia has on Naru and the anachronistic dialogue, but what separates this from the regular offal of animedom is the fact that the director and writers chose to take time with the development of the story.
Fans of "Poirot" and other Agatha Christie characters will immediately recognize the pattern that most ofthe plots follow. There are the standard twists, reversals, and misdirectionsall capped ... Read More

What do you get when you cross Fruits Basket with Most Haunted?The answer is this rather conventional but nevertheless delightful shoujo series.
Mai Taniyama is a typical teenage girl save for the fact that her school is apparently haunted.Enter Kazuya Shibuya, a paranormal investigator whom she quickly nicknames Naru - as in "The Narcissist" due to his seemingly rather high opinion of himself - and his taciturn assistant Lin Koujo.When Mai inadvertently becomes partly responsible for ...

Rating: - Ghost Hunt - A good writer meets a good idea for a good time.
If you are a fan of anime, there is no question you should be buying this DVD thin-pack set! If you're just curious, this is a great starter set!
Ghost Hunt is impressive because it manages to honour the often clever manga that inspired the title. The characters are engaging. There are nods to what could be considered 'anime by the playbook', that is, features you'll find generally in an anime (probably most grating of these is the Australian accent of John Brown, the young exorcist, but the ...

Rating: - Even Subbed I Still Love Ghost Hunt
So, this is the DVD made from the manga which was made from the original novel . . . confusing enough?
Actually, it's awesome.The character design is good, the Japanese voice acting is excellent, and the super-suspenseful music will make you want to run screaming from the room.At least if you're as big a chicken as I am.
The show itself reminds me of the X-Files with a bit of Scooby-Doo thrown in, as *utterly* bizarre as that sounds.Scooby-Doo because there's *some* humor between ... Read More
