Preliminary (4/25 eps)
Just a warning to those who might actually have knowledge of Ghost Hunting and the Paranormal - the first episode is going to annoy the hell out of you. It's starts out with one guy who seems to be a legitimate scientific researcher and then once word gets out that there might be "activity" 5 (I'm not kidding, FIVE) "sensitives" appear out of nowhere and start claiming "I feel things!" "I don't feel things!" "She's fake, I'm legit!"

If you feel about "sensitives" the way I do it's going to annoy the living shit out of you. The scientific researcher is the only one that is remotely likeable and the main female protagonist basically serves as a cipher/fish out of water character for the viewer to channel though. She has very little personality.

The petty pissing contest between the "sensitives" continues into the second and third episodes. The most annoying of which is the main character's classmate. She's a 14 year old who thinks she can compete with professional exorcists who have been doing this for decades. Meanwhile, the female protagonist begins to believe it's HER fault there is a ghost because she was telling scary stories...

Everyone in this anime is egocentric beyond comprehension. It's downright obnoxious. It's like children squabbling on screen over who can be the center of attention of the forces they don't understand. Ironically, that captures what a lot of what amateur ghost hunting boils down to pretty accurately.

It's also worth noting that a school principal in Japan was able to get the Vatican to send a 19 year old catholic priest for an exorcism. I got a chuckle out of that.

Long story short - if you have knowledge of real world haunts and paranormal activity, you might wanna pass on this one. It's just going to annoy you. I'm currently trying to get through episode 4. They are on a new case so I thought it may get better but the main female lead is beginning to get as obnoxious as the aforementioned 14 year old sensitive with all her new found "knowledge" so I think I'm probably gonna drop this one. The series also attempts to carry on a slice of life/romance between the main character and the researcher and it feels awkward and out of place to me. Like the series is trying to do too much at once.

If you know nothing of the paranormal and none of what I said bothers you, then take this series with a grain of salt and enjoy!
