Summary
Ghost Hunt is an anime that brings a fresh breath to the paranormal or mystery genre. This is a series that is going to require you to think as the plot for each of the cases is as cerebral as the lead character, Naru. The detective format for each case makes this an intriguing series that causes one to focus more on the case than the actual characters. If you are looking for something unique and different than the typical anime series, then Ghost Hunt will definitely satisfy your palette.

Hopefully you are psychic as I went into the series knowing nothing more than the trailer I had seen and came away rather impressed with the series and wanting more.

I'm not sure why, but a description like that would make me hesitant about a series. Probably because I prefer to be focused on the characters than anything else?

In any case, I have streamed some of the series and found it has some potential. However I haven't really felt like finishing. I guess partially because while some things are fine for a few episodes, I'm not sure I want to go through two cour of the pattern that's been set up.

It's a show that will grow on you over time. I found it a nice change of pace from the shonen stuff I typicall watch.

Stick around it only gets better...

Off and On, I have considered the idea of making more progress. However like many other series, I tend to keep putting it off for various reasons. As such all I can say to watching more for now is "maybe".

This kind of what I felt though I have the half season sets. The show grew on me as the series progressed and I kind wished for more toward the end of the series.
