I knew Naru couldn't /just/ be a lousy ghost-hunter. He owned. Must be sucky not to be able to show off, though.

I would very much like to see another season, but I think its doubtful, and yes there is an OST and available to download off mega upload. Just google search Ghost Hunt OST should be 2nd or 3rd link down

personally it was a good ending, and it pretty much tied everything up, but there are still some things that need to be clarified, one being how Mai and Naru's relationship will develop and how Mai had those dreams or why Naru is always in them....


Kudos to a good anime series....I love the show! and Mai :P

Really enjoyed this series. My favorite case, by far, was the blood soaked labyrinth. Loved the characters. Well, the male characters and Mai. ;p Really hoping there will be a second season that will go in more depth on both Mai's and Naru's backgrounds. I want more ghost hunt! And it'd be nice to see if Naru actually develops some feelings for Mai.

Overall I gave this series a 7/10.

Very awesome. But sad that it's over and some things weren't elaborated on that much... I, of course, also wanted to see some development between Mai and Naru, and something about Naru's past or background or something. I'm also kind of curious about Mai's past. The arc before this last one was DEFINITELY the creepiest.

It'd be nice if there was a second season but... it's already been - what? - two years? I'm not going to get my hopes up. Maybe I'll read the manga instead.

I expected this anime to follow something similar to Darker than Black but it started showing its shoujo influence a few episodes in. The stereotypical "mysterious, young, talented" male protagonist with a female lead character who leads the "ghost story of the week" style episode makes this anime a run off the mill anime that has no special features.

5/10 (Recommended for anyone who enjoys the typical shoujo fanfare with a dash of horror drama).)

i don't understand how everyone says this show is so great. to me it was just ok.. the comedy was the plus, if i wanted scary, i'd stick with higurashi, heh.

Yah, I agree with you too. It's don't feel it's as awesome as everyone else is saying it is, but it definitely was entertaining . Plus it had some deliciously scary moments. Though graphic wise, I think tokyo majin pwned it in the zombie category.

Great last episode. Nice to see Ayako got her moment to shine (at last!) =P
Hopefully, there'll be a second season.
Overall, this anime was very enjoyable. I give an 8/10.

I really liked that scene with the tree spirits and all that. I wish there was more.

I wish they got more in detail with the plot. So many things were left unexplained, especially if you compare it to the novel/manga. I feel sad that I had to search up spoilers. >':
7/10 for me

A very enjoyable anime for me. As for ending it was generally good, but I have a lot of mixed feelings about Naru secret abilities. I very liked the fact, that there was so little superpower in this anime. Yes the main characteres had supernatural powers, but the anime was more about mystery and puzzle solving than about charging in with flashy superattacks. Still it did make sense for the boss to be psychic as well.

If there ever be a second season or a longer (50 episode for example) remeke I'll certainly watch it.

Freakin' cool series! Mai wasn't exactly my favorite person, but as long as she wasn't wandering off alone like a cretin I was fine with her. The OP and ED were great, and the escalation with each arc was well done. It even had it's genuinely creepy moments, only matched by my first watch of Higurashi.

Good times man, good times.

Great story arc to finish off the season (but DEFINITELY hoping for another season!!!). I'd say this is my favorite case, but I really enjoyed every single one of them. I loved how every member of the whole team pulled together to defeat the ghost god. It was AWESOME.

yup awesome! I can't tell you how many times I've watched this anime since I got it.. to many to mention its somewhat embarrassing..

but yeah I think all the fans were hoping for a second season or OVA or Movie to end it properly, but since the manga I don't think is even finished.. err though I am aware of some spoilers for the story so I'm a bit ahead of anime watchers. Still, even though I know a small piece more I still don't know the ending. Will Mai ever confess!!!! Will Naru ever get the stick out of his butt >.> hehe jkjk

I actually adore Naru! He's such a Narcissist lol

i guess i pretty much agree with everything that's been said here: Ayako is surprisingly talented, Naru rocks, it needs a second season, the previous arc was creepier , Mai can be pretty annoying and there were times when i seriously doubted her intelligence, but overall this was a good series: 8/10

Interesting anime, not as action oriented as I expected, but each mystery held its own. Fitting end to a pretty enjoyable series. Hopefully there'll be a second season that will give us more insight into the main characters, my only problem with the show was that I never felt really connected to the leads, some backstory would have been nice.

Good show though I did, at times, feel underwhelmed with some of the arcs and characters.
7/10

Great series! Little disappointed in the ending cos i expected Naru and Mai to wrap up their relationship. Then there's the question of naru appearing in her dreams.
oh well, i havent completely given up on hoping for a second season. it would be cool if there's one.

Wow.... Am I really the only person who didn't like Naru's big to-do with the God? I mean, obviously I knew he had something up his sleeve, but really?? It just kind of felt overblown to me. :/
But aside from that, I thought this was a pretty nice little ending for an enjoyable series. 7 or 8 from me.

No, I definitely have some of the same feelings about that.

I agree with a lot that's been said here. They wrapped up the series nice enough so that I didn't feel cheated, but definitely left enough points open that I'd love to see a second season (though I'm highly doubting that). I was dying to see how they'd approach Mai and Naru's relationship and then they...didn't at all. It kind of surprised me, actually. (Even though if I had my way, I'd totally put Mai with Monk. I don't care if he's way older than her, he's freaking adorable! And sure does seem to care more about her than Naru XD)

I also loved Ayako's moment in the spotlight. It definitely seemed like they'd have to do it at some point, after having all the characters doubt her throughout the whole series. I thought it was very nice they put that in there :)

And like many others, I kind of liked the extreme creepiness of the previous arc. Though I definitely wouldn't have liked this series as much if every story was as scary as that. I'd be all frightened out and tired of it by the end.

Coming back to Naru's big moment...I was a little disappointed in it as well. I think I found his character much more intriguing when he was an intelligent, mysterious researcher than your run of the mill hero with superhuman powers. It just seemed unnecessary that he had to run in and save the day. I was assuming everyone was going to join their powers together (possibly Naru included) to defeat their final foe..but the actual ending didn't ruin it too much for me, honestly.

All in all I gave it a 9/10. It definitely wasn't my usual cup of tea, and even though I gave it such a high score doesn't really mean it's one of my favorite animes ever...but it sure did catch my attention. I think I watched the entire series in under 3 days. The art was beautiful as well, which is a huge plus for me (I unfortunately have a very hard time watching older or not so well made anime, regardless of the story or plot).

The characters also contributed a lot to my opinion overall...I'm in freaking love with Monk, Ayako was hilarious, John was adorable, and Yasuhara was very entertaining as well. This is an unusual occurrence for me, being that the two main characters were the ones I disliked the most...though that doesn't mean I hated them. Mai, though annoying at some times, was a refreshing change from the beautiful, powerful, perfect, Mary-Sue characters you see so often in anime. And even though Naru's personality grated on my nerves a lot of the time, at least he remained consistently abrasive and self-centered until the end (not counting Mai's dreams).

And that's all XD Wow, when I get rolling I certainly roll don't I o__o; Sorry about the walls of text!

First and foremost, I really enjoyed this series a lot. My only complaint is:

- Why didn't they reveal the true identity of the person in Mai's dreams?
- Why did Mai not confess her love to Naru?

That would have made this series a 10 in my opinion.

-sniff- It's over. A really good series, and I see that MAL shares this opinion xP

Naru being overpowered was pretty obvious to me, but what really surprised me was Ayako's five minutes. She finally proved she's competent.
Also, Bou-san's Big Damn Hero moment was absolutely awesome. (Didn't expect to like him so much when I was starting the series...)

I recently heard something about a second season, I'll go check it out...

good ending 7-8 rating for me but bloodstained labyrinth was the best. just a few more eps or even one to finish explaining things would of been great. ova even. ayako finally did something. naru getting out of being possessed and just being himself and already knowing the situation was great.

I don't understand how people can give this anime a rating under 9..
It's one of the best I have seen since a long, long time.. At first I also wanted to give it a 9 because the ending was.. well, really good but still unsatifying (you know about what i'm talking guys xD~).. but the ending is only the last episode and i marathoned this anime in 1 day (which i usually never do^^) so that means it must really be a masterpiece (even though i hate horror-things actually xD).. i just love naru and mai <3 =)

i wish there'd be a second season.. ;w; so much! did they really not got enough fans for this anime? i always thought it was so popular.. :/ *sigh*

I'm not going to read everyone's comments, but a couple thoughts on the final episode.

1. It's good that Ayako finally showed she's not useless. She deserved a big moment.
2. Naru is receiving CPR, and Ayako asks "Is he alright?" That has got to be the stupidest question of all time.
3. The Scooby Gang's ultimate adversary was a piece of driftwood. ...lol


Anyway, series was okay. I thought everything before the Urado arc was average at best, although I liked Mai as a character from the beginning (aside from the fact that she's HOT, YO).

I think the animation shortcuts were distracting at times. And they didn't even have a real OP, just a ****ing screensaver from Windows 95.

Urado arc was easily the highlight of the show. That was really good ****.

If I could give this show a 6.5, I would. As it stands, I'll have to decide between 6 and 7. It wasn't BAD, but I guess I'd call it overrated compared to a lot of the reviews I've seen. The two top-rated reviews for this show both give it a 10, which is like a joke to me.

Mediocre show at best, non of the arc's really spooked me out other than the arc before this and i never felt attached to any of the characters...Mai's stupidity didn't help either.
The comedy was good though to some extent, i enjoyed it, it's pretty good for a shoujo.

And Naru's Super Saiyan was cool :P

The ending is so-so, it was too much of a cliffhanger.
Overall 7/10 but...8/10 for the gore and suspense for the arc before this :D
