Synopsis

Strange things are happening around the town of Suiten. The daughter of a priest begins to see strange visions, spirits have started to roam the mountains, and Tarou Komori is having unsettling dreams. Due to the trauma of being kidnapped 11 years ago, he has repressed most of the memories that could shed light on what really happened. But they return in his sleep, combined with encounters beyond the realm of dreams.

As the supernatural and psychological collide, three children struggle to face their demons and repair the breach between the spiritual and corporeal worlds.

I believe every second of this show was worth watching for me personally. The premise is intriguing and the plot is overall pretty solid, even if it is somewhat messy. In any case, it's strong enough to keep the viewer interested and engaged. Many people complained about the ending being too rushed and cramped, but I did not feel this way at all.

What made this anime great for me is it's dialectical nature: at times it really worked as a good suspense horror and at times it was truly heartwarming, thanks to its characters and atmosphere.

I found all of the characters to be interesting ...

Disclaimer: Although I don’t think I include any spoilers that would ruin the experience, I do talk about the aspects of the show that usually confuse viewers the most, by describing several of it plot points in perhaps more details than a first time watcher would want. For a short opinion, it is not the easiest watch and it has a lot of issues particularly near the end, but it is a worth watching show as long as you are in the proper mood for it.

Shinreigari: Ghost Hound is one of the most ambitious anime I have watched in my life, not for being ...

Before watching any anime I start to look at its score on this page, when I saw a 7.41 I thought it would be an anime that was going to be good enough to recommend it. In the end I was disappointed, the most unfortunate thing is having to watch 22 episodes to realize that the most important plot has no outcome. Don't waste your time watching this unless you have nothing to see.
I liked the animation, setting, intro and outro but the script failed. I ended up disappointed, I thought I had found a gem but it was the opposite.
