Ghost Hunt - The Complete Series S.A.V.E.

This was my first anime ever! Highly recommend! The DVD arrived in excellent condition. Definitely a great anime to see during the spooky season, too.

It's great to have it on DVD when a storm knocks out your wifi. Also, for all other times. It's just extra good with lots of thunder.

This anime is about a firm which specializes in investigating paranormal phenomena. The main cast of characters includes a Shrine priestess, a Buddhist monk, a Roman Catholic exorcist, a psychic, Mai, the newbie, and Naru, the owner. This bunch of assorted personalities works together (sort of) to resolve cases of supernatural origins (or not), including a haunted school and a cursed hotel. Mai, our heroine, who seems to be completely normal, develops untapped psychic powers which strengthen as the series moves along.I enjoyed Ghost Hunt quite a lot. For one thing, I got a crash course in Japanese mythology and folk beliefs. I liked the characters, even when they were being aggravating, and it was good to see Mai come into her own as a member of the team. My biggest objection comes at the very end--the final episode. I didn't agree with the way the story was handled, and though the outcome was fine I would have liked to see Mai be more involved than she was.I had no problems with the DVDs. I watched the English dubbed version, and thought the actors did a great job. I haven't watched the Japanese language version, so i can't comment on that.Overall, I would definitely recommend this to anyone who wants a show about the supernatural. It's a lot of fun, with a few really spooky moments thrown in to keep you on your guard!

I'm so glad I finally got around to buying this. Half the price of digital download per episode which I personally think is great. I just want to own it, yah know. I can watch it without interruptions, without ads. It came in excellent condition. No issues whatsoever. Thank you! 😊

I’ve loved this series ever since I watched it on Funimation. It’s sad that there isn’t any following and I think I am the only member of the fandom- but this anime is so good. I had to get it on DVD.

So I will do my best to keep this spoiler free. You can glance at my profile and see that I am an anime nut (reviewed many, many series). I purchased this sigh unseen because of the low price and the high ratings. I am actually glad I did.The series is played out very well. There is only one single stand alone episode, otherwise the story arcs are grouped into 3 to 5 episode series (files as they call them). This actually gives the show time to really get into and flesh out the story of each arc. The characters are rather ordinary; your typical Japanese anime cast: the quiet, dreamy guy; the dense young school age girl; the wise, slightly older 'sister' figure; the older brother figure; the rival gal; and the one odd person (the priest). They do interact humorously at times, though often they seem to be acted very strictly within their archetype.Animation is slick and consistent throughout. Voice acting is good quality. The intro and exit themes are rather bland, but the music is kind of nice.*** Very light spoilers (won't really ruin anything by knowing... might actually improve the show through first watching!) ***When the show first starts, you are given some interesting supernatural treats. Of course the 'ghosts' eventually make an appearance (you wouldn't have 26 episodes if not!), but for awhile you are left wondering. When they do, it is very 'spooky'. Apparitions, banshees, possessed people and dolls, will o' wisps, etc... Things progress very well with some interesting influences from different cultures and religions making appearances (shinto priestess, buddhist monk, Catholic priest, occultist, paranormal investigator). I found this to be a really neat aspect.The second to the last story arc is by far the best. It combines some interesting lore and a real sense of impending danger and risk of death. The final story arc is complete garbage. Complete. Garbage. Up until this point the show was a FIVE but the last four episodes were a TWO at best. And only a two because of the quality animation.***SPOILER***Let's just say it reminds me of Dragon Ball Z meets ghosts and zombies. Yeah...***END SPOILER***But in the end I am satisfied with the show as a whole. I just wonder what kind of fumes were being pumped into the room where the creators decided to write the last four episodes...

I love this series, the DVDs came in great condition and YES the DVDs can be in both English and Japanese with English sub. I recommend this series to anyone who wants a soft horror with comedy thrown in.

Even though this is criminally short compared to some other anime this will forever remain my favorite. Horror? Check. Comedy? Check. Interesting plot and character development? Check. It's also surprisingly faithful to the manga. I just wish they'd made a second season as the manga continues past where the anime leaves off. If you're into the paranormal and enjoy the sensation of slow creeping dread only to have everything come to a nice conclusion so that you can still sleep at night. Dive on in! Just be prepared to be left a little wanting when you watch the last episode.
