I loved this anime and wished there were more of it! I'm currently hunting down the manga's, and I'm currently learning Japanese (hopefully one day i can read the original novels by Fuyumi Ono) I just thought this series was great, although I've read a lot of spoilers so i could fill in the gaps of the anime of things they didnt mention.

What do you guys think of this anime?

heres a summary:

Quote:
Ghost Hunt follows the adventures of Kazuya Shibuya, the president of the Shibuya Psychic Research Center (SPR) and Mai Taniyama, a first year high school student. The story begins during an exchange of ghost stories between Mai and her friends, who are interrupted twice: first by a mysterious "male student" and then by a fellow classmate, who warns them of how their ghost stories attract spirits.

While out walking, Mai sees the building that all the ghost stories surround and decides to go in. As she is about to touch a camera in the middle of the room, a man stops her and ends up injuring himself. Mai is then forced to work as a stand-in assistant for the man, an employee of the "male student," who was hired to study the "paranormal" events occurring at the school. Mai nicknames this "student" "Naru" for his narcissistic attitude. Naru owns a paranormal investigation company SPR and Mai eventually earns a part-time job at SPR after assisting with the first case. The more involved Mai becomes with Naru, the more she learns about herself and her feelings towards him.

whee Wai! I've seen it! My favorite character is Lin. ^_^

Overall, the series was great. It was an original concept, and they pulled it off well. The only thing that bugged me was how they ended it so abruptly, and tried to wrap up the whole Naru's abilities in a few sentences. A few of the little things weren't very well explained either.

o___o And by a pretty much unanimous vote, Blood-Soaked Labyrinth is the creepiest sequence.

I loved this series! My favorite character was John, followed by Ayako.

If you want to get the manga, see if a bookstore can order them for you. That's how I get most of mine.
