This review is from: Ghost Hunt: The Complete Series S.A.V.E. (DVD)

For the record, "Ghost Hunt" is an anime series based on a manga series based on a novel series. Surprising, it doesn't suffer in translation.

And "Ghost Hunt: The Complete Series" does an excellent job bringing home elaborate and genuinely eerie scares, based on curses, possessions, psychic powers and the occasional roaming ghost. It can be rather slow-moving at times and some questions are left unanswered (just who is "dream Naru"?), but it has a winning mixture of comedy, horror and suspense.

After she destroys his camera and injures his assistant Lin, the icy "ghost hunter" Kazuya Shibuya (aka Naru) allows Mai Taniyama to work with him as his assistant -- he's investigating a haunted part of her school. They're soon joined by some professional exorcists: slinky Shinto priestess Ayako, renegade Buddhist monk Hosho, psychic Masako, and Catholic priest John Brown.

The little group soon find themselves dealing with many strange cases: a house... Read more

Japanese Ghost Stories, September 27, 2010

This review is from: Ghost Hunt: The Complete Series S.A.V.E. (DVD)

This series is basically a bunch of short ghost/mystery stories solved by Kazuya Shibuya (nicknamed Naru, short for 'narcissist') and his assistant, Mai. There isn't much of an overall storyline, and most stories span 1-2 episodes. The stories are primarily taken from traditional Japanese horror tales, which if you haven't had much experience with can be very different indeed. Even someone with exposure to the traditional stories will probably enjoy this series for the new twists on old favorites and the entertaining characters. Mai and Naru are fun to watch - Mai is a likable ordinary high school student in an extraordinary situation as the part-time assistant to a ghost hunter. Naru, while admittedly a bit narcissistic, isn't overly so and he certainly can keep his cool in intense situations. The other characters, a shinto priestess, a Buddhist monk, a TV psychic, and a Christian exorcist, while not very impressive on their own, make entertaining and interesting supporting... Read more

This review is from: Ghost Hunt: The Complete Series S.A.V.E. (DVD)

One of the most entertaining anime series I have seen yet.
The plot does crawl by at times but that seems typical of quite a few anime series and it has become rather enjoyable.
The mixture of different personalities made for a good cast.
There were a couple of times at then ends of certain episodes where the suspense just caught one's spirit.
And the building difficulty and danger of the cases was a very good part of the plot.
I picked this up on a whim and got a nice surprise.

Certain characters I knew were more than they portrayed to be from the beginning.
The ending did not disappoint.
