Review of Ghost Hunt

I must say, Ghost Hunt came as as personal disappointment because I was expecting a lot from it's high scores. It's not that the series is bad, but the style of Ghost Hunt doesn't demand, and is therefore lacking in two department: the characters and the animation, two big factors for my enjoyment of the series. I guess the lack of a proper OP/ED sequence and the sub-par animation stems from it's low budget. The pale color theme used throughout the series is a result of this, but I guess it works quite well in the horror/psychological genre. I think one thing most can agree on isthat the characters are pretty one-dimensional, since there's hardly any form of character development; something I hoped to see but didn't get. Not that it keeps them from being interesting; the characters have good chemistry between them and can keep things alive with their standard jokes. However, since Ghost Hunt sells almost only on the plot, the characters always maintained the same roles in each arc and always produce the same kind of reaction throughout the whole series. That's probably the series's biggest weak point.

While I'm never into the horror/psychological genre, the story has even manage to get me hooked for a bit and anticipate the next episode. The plot isn't particularly clever in any of the arcs, but it has very good suspense with the use of many twist in the plot. With the material they got I think they could have created more powerful endings though.

Not my cup of tea, but certainly a pretty good one anyways.
