The anime tv series left me rather disappointed in how there were many open questions and lead me to read the manga. The manga answers those questions, however, in my opinion fails to end on a high note. This is my review and is kind of a mix with the anime series.
The story:
Ghost Hunt's story is rather segmented and only few episodes are tied together in a series. What I mean is that from one "file"/story to the next, there isn't much of a continuation. The season is structured as File 1 = episodes 1,2,3 (example), and File 2 = episodes 4 and 5 (example).
...
In the end, the anime season finale ended without answering many questions.
The anime followed the manga very closely and to really conclude the series, I would recommend reading from the start of Volume 8. Most of the questions are resolved in the end but the end result feels like there was no character progression in the end for the protagonist 'Naru'.
The art:
The art in the anime is better in my opinion. Although the style feels somewhat dated and may not appeal to all audiences.
Overall, I enjoyed this series very much and would have given it a 9/10 if the series had ended up with better character development. In the end, I would recommend this series/manga to anyone as it is enjoyable and a series that you can read/watch without much thought for the previous chapters/episodes as the story is segmented like that.
