I don't think the plot was bad, but it just couldn't hold my interest at all. I thought Yakumo's repulsing his father was anti-climactic. I think the characters are great, i love yakumo and gotou, but they weren't very effective on a whole.

ep.- (Average 5/10)

Well, I'm happy Gotou and Nao will have a happy life together as a family. Nao had a tragic life. Poor girl.

Very average show though. 5/10

Not a terrible anime. However, nothing really could hold my attention, and I found myself bored more often than not. Also, I never understood why this anime fell under the "horror" genre. Because if it was supposed to have scary or disturbing scenes, it really failed on that aspect. I can only assume that the light novel is much creepier than this anime adaptation. Anyway, I'll give this a 5/10.

6/10 for this series

Same rating as I thought for the first ep.
While I hoped for it to get better, this series was very weak from the start.

watched this last episode with a heavy heart.
awww I can't believe Isshin is really dead. I was hoping for a miracle.

Am a little irked by the open ending. First Shiki, now this.
I wish at least Nanase Miyuki is confirmed to be dead. But nooooo they can't find her body.

I find it touching when Yakumo excused himself from the others to converse with his uncle's spirit. even more so when we couldn't actually see Isshin.

]I wasn't expecting his father to try and take possession of him, that caught me off guard and almost redeemed an otherwise bland and uninteresting villain. But the surprised was ruined by so easily telegraphing that Yakumo had come out on top.

Yakumo's father and his assistant getting away kind of left this conclusion feeling partially disappointing it but at least still had the strong emotional finish between Yakumo and his loved ones. There was way too much expositional dialogue at the end going over all the details anyone who'd been half awake during the last few episodes would already know.

Overall I think the series had a lot of potential it didn't live up to it. If there were a second season I'd give it a shot just because the potential is still there and I liked most of the characters.

And why did that lady - Nanase - say she loved Yakumo? I thought she loved the father?


Did you actually watch the episode? Watch it again, they kind of slap you in the face with the reason, since it's the climax of the series.

Pretty meh show for me. Would have been much better as an episodic series imo, although mushishi/natsume already have that covered I guess.

Haruka should have died.

WHERE THE HELL WAS THE KISS?! Damnit... a good ending, I actually teared up a little bit, but the anime still was slow...

I did enjoy this season because of Yakumo himself. The hug between him and Haruka was cute. Good series... 7 out of 10. --- Randy

That was... a pretty nice ending. Too cheesy, though, but really nice for a romance, shoujo and mystery anime. The doctor's reason for killing Isshin is reasonable, that's why Isshin himself didn't pay any mind. And as for the end, that was to be expected. And I have to say, that Yakumo really is one hell of a cute character <3

Really nice ending to a pretty good show. I liked the show, was one of my favorites. I was hoping for a kiss between Haruka and Yakumo but I guess that was not meant to be, I guess I can settle for the hug.

It was sad and happy at the same time. Isshin's death was really sad. But that girl living, and Nao getting happy family makes up for it.

That was a really good ending, was really sad to see Isshian die I loved him as a character (the forgiveness part was really nice in getting over his death), overall though they did a good job with it and I was glad to see everything wrap up nicely (with of course the set up for more). Nao-chan was the best character by far and it was a shame we missed out on more of her

Anyway loved the ending, and thought this was a pretty good show, I'm glad I gave it a chance.

Pretty much everyone agrees that Yakumo is a pretty average anime, but still a nice way to spend some time. Being generous, 7/10 because it was entertaining enough, although overall this should get a 5 or 6. Not exactly bad, but I always thought that something was lacking... I don't know, perhaps the series tried to do so many things? Now I'm really interested on this Ghost Hunt; maybe a comparison between both can lead to a more accurate analysis.

This ending was so sad but sweet at the same time. I was seriously about to cry during the scene on the roof were Nao was in front of the doctor that had killed Isshin. I can't believe he died! It was just too sad and omg if Miyuki is still alive she is a bad bitch I swear even though I can't stand her. I could see them doing a second season just because Yakumo's dad is still lingering around. Gotou and his wife with Nao was so cute at the end, he makes a good dad. All in all I loved this show it was one of my favorite's this season.

Really didn't like the anime at all, maybe it's cause the manga is so much better. Haruka was so annoying, I felt that I wanted to punch a baby whenever she came on (not literally, orz). 4/10

Oh where is the horror? Gosh did you just see the faces of everyone when Gotou got shot? Everyone's expression is like "-_-" like no one cares.

Sure Yakumo is hot an all but I need the horror. :( And thank goodness
Gotou and his wife decides to adopt Nao which is so nice of them but does that mean Yakumo is adopted by them too? And Nao even talked but I miss Isshin :( The last scene when Yakumo is talking to his uncle is ;_;

Seriously throughout every episode when something happens,their reaction is always like that "-_-".

I think I'll start reading the manga.

Love is filled with mystery

Well, his uncle death was an interesting twist (especially because of the circumstances), and I must say that I quite enjoyed the last few last episodes even though they were flawed, and the ost is really good.
That glasses girl however was useless till the end, and the detective dude was freakin' annoying.

Yakumo was brilliant. The contact lens. He planned it very well haha

Yakumo x Haruka. I just had to screencap it XD

Oh wow, i am so sad that this show is over so quickly. It really grew on me. In the beginning I wasn't so sure it was going to be good but after episode 2 I couldn't stop watching. The ending was really well done for this show and quite touching. I'm really hoping for a 2nd season now. For me this show was an 8/10. I was also annoyed that the characters only got one set of clothing..lol.

Awesome anime :)

At first I thought I was in for horror/mystery/crime-solving action, but that's just on the surface. Underneath, it's really a tribute to the development of characters - especially Yakumo's, obviously.
Haruka is not useless in this respect! She is vital in "changing him" and "giving him a new perspective" and etc., whatever female protagonists do to cold, sarcastic, antisocial emo bishies.
I'm all for Yakumo x Haruka, but it looks like that's all we get (although it's implied they are going to get together, as I don't see Yakumo flirting it up with any other college chicks anytime soon).
Gonna go read manga raws now!

i only kept watching the show coz i liked the drawing and the sound track , i think the story is not well plotted ; 13 episodes are not enough to actually present it well
the ending is good although i was expecting yakumo to reveal his feelings to haruka :(

i have to admit that yakumo , haruka ,and Nao are the cutest characters ever

overall 7/10

Quite some ending, a nice rounding end of the whole story! A bit on the sad side although quite hearth warming in its own way! The global story of this anime was rather nice and had an interesting theme in general! I really liked that bit of darker touch to it and detective/case parts where quite nice as well. I did wanted to see some slight more relation development between those two although it ended quite nicely either way! 9/10
