Ghost Hunt

While at school, Mai Taniyama and her friends like to exchange ghost stories. Apparently, there is an abandoned school building on their campus that is the center of many ghost stories. During the story, they are interrupted by a mysterious male figure. The person turns out to be Kazuya Shibuya, a 17-year-old who is president of the Shibuya Psychic Research Company. He was called by the principal to investigate the stories surrounding the abandoned school building.

The next day, on the way to school, Mai passes the school building in question. While examining a strange camera she spotted inside, she gets surprised by Kazuya's assistant. Unknowingly interfering with the investigation, Mai breaks the camera and Kazuya's assistant gets injured.

Kazuya forcefully hires Mai in order to pay for the camera and replace his injured assistant. From that point on, Mai begins to learn about the paranormal world and the profession of ghost hunting.

I think the series was enjoyable. I do like horror shows and movies, and I like the aspects of solving cases. I loved the different methods and spirituality, along with the different cultures. I'm a sucker for that stuff. The cast was great. Different personalities and they all bring something to the table. They each have their own strengths and work together.

With that said, Mai and Naru were annoying. Naru especially. Naru has no charisma at all. He's a worse version of Yuno from Black Clover. As boring as Yuno was, he ... was at least good looking and had chemistry with some cast members. Naru legit has none. Mai was annoying and unlikable, but she did also move the plot along. So I can at least say that for her. She was also flawed in a realistic way, but she was ultimately unpleasant. Still, that's better than Naru. At least I felt something for Mai (usually annoyance and irritation), but I felt nothing for Naru.

Speaking of Naru, the romance wasn't good. Which brought the show down. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, a great romance will enhance a show while a poorly written show brings it down. The romance here was poorly written, so it should have been cut. I don't know. Naru needed to be more open, and have more of a personality. More charisma.

I do like the series and recommend it overall though. The stories were great along with a solid cast.

Mixed Feelings

I have finished the Anime multiple times, but can't say a lot about it, since i fell asleep everytime after 2 or 3 episodes. So it's good in it's own right. It's pretty light hearted, with a lot of cliches and stereotypes. There are spooky ghosts and a lot of yelling, which is pretty demanding for a healthy brain, but no deeper meaning or anything of substance, as far as i could tell. So it's perfect to calm down, because all you'll hear is spooky ghost bla bla, but nothing is happening and you can tell yourself:" Who cares?" and continue to doze off.

Congratulations to Ghost Hunt, for being the first show to score less than a 5 with me.

Actually to be fair, my rating for it was originally a 5. But then I saw Nekopara, and it became my new standard for as middle of the road as you can get. After reviewing that, I realized (I think I always knew, but I don't like being overly harsh with my reviews) that this show deserved a lower rating.

Because while I saw it awhile ago, it sticks out in my mind for all the wrong reasons.

To the show's credit, it definitely has some neat ideas and settings, and ... I enjoyed the haunted backstories for the ghosts. That is literally the only reason this show is not a 3 or lower.

It's the characters man.... It's the ****ing characters.

I can't recall an anime whose writing irritated me more. It's laziness at it's finest.

The main male character is without a doubt a Mary Sue, and completely unlikable. He is a pompous, arrogant, snide little **** that is magically good at everything. They write the story around him. He literally breaks the rules of the world that have been pre-established because they need a convenient excuse to make him more perfect.

Despite all this, the main female character somehow likes him. It absolutely blows my mind.

So instead of actually having consistent writing, they use his "awesomeness" to write whatever's convenient at the time. It's the show's get out of jail free card for actually committing to a steady set of writing restrictions. Those restrictions exist so the audience can get sucked into the fantasy.

Screw it, I'm gonna spoil the end because it's just too damn stupid.

Despite saying he has no supernatural powers throughout the course of the entire series, apparently "Oh, just kidding! I am actually the most powerful being in the universe, and I make Goku look like a b***h!"

I am being generous with a 4.
