Ayakashi is the series Mononoke branched from. The last arch of the series involves the Medicine Seller, a type of prequel. Either way, both series deal with monsters, demons and ghosts. Bonus points if you love ancient Japanese ghost stories.

Both Ghost Hunt and Ayakashi deals with supernatural events and ghosts. Ayakashi is an anime based on Japanese folklores and legends about ghosts and demons and Ghost Hunt is more of a detective anime. Nevertheless, fans of Ghost Hunt will surely enjoy Ayakashi because of the interesting and at time horrific stories.

I found it kinda hard to review this anime because it is not all one story, it is three. I wrote this review at the time when I was watching it so there may be a mistake or two or it may have more information about one of than the other.)
