Yakumo is, in essence, a more rushed and poorly written version of Ghost Hunt. The two leads and their relationship is the same in both, though in Ghost Hunt the heroine's thoughts are expressed internally frequently, which makes her have far more depth and spunk than the hollow shell of a character that is Haruka. And the episodic stories themselves are far more involving and, at times, creepy than the average predictably on show in the first few Yakumo episodes.

The way the cases are solved have a similar feeling to each other. Splendid use of music in both series. The narration/introduction of a plot/case also resembles each other in terms of style and pacing.

In the world there are things we can't see but are of great importance. Ghosts, curses, dreams, superstitions and many other unexplained but commonly known phenomena. At a general level people don't really believe in them, but sometimes they need to. So if, you are a part of those unbelievers who are in need to learn more about the other side of the world - the unseen and unknown side, you may be more than interested to do it while watching either Ghost Hunt, or xxxHolic. Both series provide much valuable and interesting information (personally, I leart alot just from watching!)

both leave a little something wanting at the end, have very good art, good story lines, neither are scary in any way, decent charecter growth, both have a slight romanance going on the side..all in all both animes worth the watch XD

Both are from the same creator, and have a supernatural mysterious plot with some horror and drama. The characters are all great, and the main character is a anti social boy with a cold attitude but he really cares about his friends and tries to find the truth behind the events.

Main theme of the supernatural and other occult occurrences in both series but Ghost Hunt has a more eerie feel and less comedic situation than Ghost Stories. Ghost Stories focuses more on Japanese supernatural and folklore while Ghost Hunt on murders and some para-psychology ideas.

In essence, both these series contain the elements of horror, mystery, and the thriller like feelings when you watch its progressing episodes. In other words, there are some cliffhangers that leaves the viewers wondering "what will happen next?" At any rate, Another and Ghost Hunt are similar in a variety of ways. Both series contains a school like setting where mystery is present. Additionally, the main protagonist is accompanied by a girl throughout the series with all the strange phenomenon going around. Both series although different in terms of story structure builds itself through suspense, horror, and mystery. Both series' characters are also teenagers and thus  read more

Eerie mysteries in both animes solved predominantly with logic (although Ghost Hunt involves more supernatural occurrences). In both animes the 2 main characters are partners in solving mysteries, separated by a considerable age gap. The younger accomplice is just a high schooler, but has more potential than initially thought, while the older accomplice specializes in what they do.

They both deal with the supernatural, they have this eerie feeling, sometimes horror. Both are just great! If you like Ghost Hunt, then you'll like Jigoku Shoujo. (And the other way round.) 
report Recommended by Samu-tan
both have mystery suspense plots, with similar art style, and humor. it could be argued that that character roles are reversed which give this anime a little bit of stand offish- ness to some audiences, but is actually a pretty minor part of the story. the ages of the characters is similar too, but in a younger form.  
report Recommended by wolfbreed699
Both anime are set in our own world, thou in diffrent times (Shounen Onmoyouji is set several houndreds years ago, Ghost Hunt is set in present day world) and they are about individuals exorcising evil spirits and protecting others from curses. It should be noted, that althought both anime have very similar main theme, Shounen is more action oriented and Ghost Hunt is more about puzzle solving.

They have very different premises, but both Ghost Hunt and Juuni Kokki are based off of light novels by Fuyumi Ono. On that note, so is Shiki.

Holmes and Naru are similar characters, both being smarter than average and with a somewhat dark personality (although Holmes is a much friendlier and nicer than Naru). Ghost Hunt is also a lot more serious and with a deeper plot (and a better series), but the general idea of both shows is not that different. It's not 100% guaranteed that you will like one if you liked the other, but it may be worth trying.

Both shows deal with the supernatural. Both have a cast of characters that use different approaches to deal with supernatural. Both have their own sense of humor. Ghost Hunt's is more about mystery and suspense. Blue Exorsist is more action.

i dont really have a show that this is like. but its basically a "horror" anime about paranormal activity, at first it starts slow. every episode has multiple parts and each story gets more and more creepy/paranormal. basically high school ghost hunters

Both deal with people having supernatural abilities of sensing Ghosts and forming a team later on. Though Ghost Hunt is more case oriented while Sankaku Mado no Sotogawa wa Yoru deals the personal lives of the characters. Both are very interesting and have the characters becoming a team to solve something together.

Ghost Hunt doesnt really have much in common w/ Hiiro except maybe ghosts and supernatural powers.But they both have the main male lead have a tremendous power within that u dont find out until the end. The main female leads also discover their power throughout the anime, but Mai discovers her power way faster than Tamaki. And John remings me a bit of Shinji and Naru reminds me of Takuma a bit. Ghost Hunt ends with a sort of unresolved resolution though, but I loved it. It is one of a kind.

Here we have two anime with a very similar concept : a group of students involved in supernatural horrific situations and trapped in closed areas , and try to figure-out a solution to bring peace ( exorcise to be precise ) to the ghosts they are dealing with. However, Ghost Hunt is oriented to paranormal investigation and have not real gore scenes.

Both are similar in terms of ghost stories / paranormal activities. In both, they engage in ghost hunting. In 'Dark Gathering,' they solve mysteries and hunt ghosts. Additionally, the characters (except the mc) love horror stories and enjoy exploring cursed places. In 'Ghost Hunt,' they solve mysteries and hunt ghosts as part of their job.

Both Vatican Kiseki Chousakan and Ghost Hunt share an atmosphere of highly stylized mystery. There is a sense that the protagonists are trying to rationally examine a supposedly supernatural phenomena through the lenses of Science and History. There are situations that are genuinely horrifying, but there are also moments of extremely campy graphic violence or splatter effects. Fans of one would likely thoroughly enjoy the other.

Both Ghost Hunt and Mayonaka no Occult Koumuin deal with the supernatural and both follow a new recruit to the main team. While Ghost Hunt strictly focuses on ghosts and the spiritual, no Occult focuses more on cryptids and mythological creatures. Both main characters are new to their respective fields and must "learn on the job," often creating friction with the "old timers." Both leads can be portrayed as clueless at times, but often are then shown to have a valid view on situations.

Ghost Hunt and Bakemonogatari anime are similar in that they deal with many different supernatural mysteries. They are divided into several arcs. Each arc deals with different cases. If you are into the Mystery genre which involves supernatural beings, I recommend these animes.

If your looking for an anime that pulls you into the story and mystery with great animation you will find that Shion no Ou and Ghost Hunt have these in common, Ghost Hunt is about supernatural mysteries and Shion no Ou's mystery is about finding the killer in a real world crime, they both have fantastic animation and a tiny hint of romance, great characters and fantastic mysteries!

On the basic level these two animes are very dissimilar, but ignoring that, they have a very similar feel. Both deal with powers of some sort and have somewhat stand alone episodes. The main characters are young girls who are strong (more physically so in HY) and going on adventures of sorts. Also, they both share a mix of humor and creepiness (a little more creep and a little less humor in GH).

Ghost Hunt and Dantalian no Shoka are simple series involving paranormal investigations. Ghost Hunt has a more traditional approach to the paranormal with scary atmospheric ambiance. It avoids leaning on fantasy and broader supernatural elements. Dantalian no Shoka leans more on the supernatural and fantasy with mysteries based on an occult curses. Both series have an episodic storyline. You'll quickly know after watching one case if you like the series because they do not deviate from their formula.

Both series are about supernatural cases that need to be solved. Also, they are built up in a similar manner, each case covers a few episodes, then they move on to the next case.

Both shows revolve around a team of people solving cases that have to do with the supernatural. Although Kuroshitsuji includes demons, shinigamis and similar creatures, Ghost Hunt revolves more-so around spirits and hauntings. Regardless, what these two shows have in common are the 3-4 episode arcs that are tie together to describe a full story.

Look closely and you'll think. "These two animes are nothing alike". Le Portrait de Petit Cossette has more of a dramatic feel to it, while Ghost Hunt slides way more towards a comedy(Le Portrait de Petit Cossette is very VERY far from a comedy). But for some reason, they both appealed to me in a similar way. So if you're looking for a horror, dramatic version of Ghost Hunt with a tad of romance, go for Petit Cossette. If you're in the mood for a more lighthearted supernatural anime, go for Ghost Hunt.

They are similar in the act of getting rid of something evil. Each episode is mind bending. Plus the two main characters show a love towards eachother. The art style is very similar and the story line is somewhat carelessly put together the same way.

The key similarity is the interaction between the male and female protagonist and their character design (more or less). Chiaki (Nodame Cantabile) is very similar to Naru (Ghost Hunt) in the sense that they are both young, handsome, talented, narcissistic, self centered etc.. Nodame (Nodame Cantabile) is similar to Mai (Ghost Hunt) where they are both klutzie characters, a bit of an air head, but has a latent talent that surprises our male lead. The interaction between the two pairs is what makes the similarity stand out. The super one sided infatuation from both Nodame and Mai to Chiaki and Naru respectively are pretty much the same.  read more

Ghost Hunt feels like if Yami Shibai decided to have longer arcs with recurring characters and added a bit of bad comedy into the mix. Don't get me wrong, I love the bad comedy in Ghost Hunt, it helps with the cheesy horror wonderfully. I find the stories in both of these to be memorable and appropriately creepy, though nothing that will prevent you from sleeping. They also both have great audio design (essential in this genre) and the music is also good.
