Ghost Hunt
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Mid-ghost-story, high school freshman Mai Taniyama gets interrupted by a cold, sharply-dressed teenager named Kazuya Shibuya, and discovers he actually investigates the supernatural for a living. Through a series of clumsy mistakes involving broken equipment and an injured assistant, Mai ends up working for his paranormal research company. She calls him 'Naru' almost immediately, because he is genuinely insufferable in the most entertaining way possible. What makes Ghost Hunt work is that it takes the ghost-hunting premise seriously. Cases are multi-episode arcs, the investigations use real methodology, and the team that assembles around Naru includes a monk, a shrine maiden, a Catholic priest, and a spirit medium, all with different approaches and different beliefs about what they're dealing with. It creates this genuinely tense procedural atmosphere where you're never quite sure what kind of supernatural entity you're up against or how it's going to be resolved. The tone is dark and slow-burn. Don't go in expecting jump scares every five minutes. this is more creeping dread, strange children, and rooms that feel wrong. Think closer to Shinrei Tantei Yakumo or early Shiki than anything action-heavy. If you've bounced off horror anime that felt cheap or rushed, this one takes its time building atmosphere. It's 25 episodes adapted from a manga, and the case-based structure means it's easy to get pulled through one more arc before you realize how late it is.

Talk about a finale! The escalation from spirits to full chaos, then Ayako stepping up, and finally Naru revealing what he’s capable of—it all lands harder than expected. That hospital ending too actually gave it a weird calm after the storm. Definitely don't miss this last one.
Felt like a full-blown horror movie compared to the usual investigation! Between the house catching fire and a literal army of zombies storming the base to get to Naru, I was actually on the edge of my seat. Easily the most chaotic and high-stakes penultimate ep possible.
This ep felt like everything was spiraling at once—fear, possession, and people barely holding it together. I liked how Mai’s dream logic actually mattered in real-time, not just as spooky hints. That Kuji ritual scene? Intense, but also kind of messy in a realistic way.
Three psychics already dying before SPR even arrives? Yeah, this case instantly felt dangerous. I really liked the eerie seaside atmosphere and how the episode blended possession, dreams, and old tragedy together without feeling messy. Also, possessed Naru is deeply unsettling.
This arc ended with pure chaos and I loved it. Between the hidden motives, Masako disappearing, Mai’s dream clues, and that final escape, the ep never really slows down. The mansion genuinely felt cursed beyond saving by the end. Probably one of the strongest cases so far.
I thought Mai’s dream was bad, but seeing Mai so traumatized really raised the stakes. Lin's ritual was eerie, but the biggest shock? Oliver Davis being a fraud! This house is a literal graveyard, and finding that corpse made the atmosphere so much heavier. What a grim turn.
This felt like turning into a full-on survival mystery. The mansion already had bad vibes, but once people started disappearing and hidden rooms got involved, the tension shot way up. And Mai’s dream sequence was especially disturbing too because it felt painfully real.
This is getting fancy! Multiple investigation teams, political connections, séances, disappearances—everything had this uneasy “something is seriously wrong here” energy. Yasuhara pretending to be the boss was hilarious though. Great mix of tension and awkward comedy.
This arc ended strong. I liked that the finale focused more on consequences than flashy horror, because the idea of an entire school unknowingly fueling a curse is honestly terrifying enough already. Mai trying to help despite being overwhelmed made the episode hit harder too.
I thought the school arc was already dark, then this ep somehow made it worse. The idea that the entire ritual was engineered from the start gave the case this really nasty feeling, and Naru piecing it together was honestly satisfying to watch. The tension barely lets up here.
Man, this felt chaotic in the creepiest way possible. Spirits eating each other, weird ritual games spreading through the school, and that entire locked-room sequence with the formalin smell? Yeah, Ghost Hunt was cooking here. I genuinely felt anxious for Mai the whole time.
This ep felt meaner than the earlier school cases, and I mean that in a good way. The mix of suicide rumors, random attacks, and that ghost dog gave the whole school this ugly atmosphere that never really relaxed. Yasuhara was a fun addition too. Creepy setup done right.
This ep hit harder emotionally than I expected. The horror takes a backseat for a while so the tragedy behind Kenji can actually breathe, and honestly, that made everything sadder. Lin losing patience was weirdly memorable too. Quiet, creepy, and depressing in a good way.
Christmas Eve ghost case sounds almost cozy at first… then it quietly turns into something unsettling. I liked how the possession scenes kept shifting the tone fast, especially with Kenji latching onto Lin like that. Ending on Mai getting possessed? Yeah, that’s a nasty hook.
Wait, this one caught me off guard—it starts like a “light urban rumor” case then slowly turns something emotionally heavy. I liked how Mai handled the spirit’s pain instead of just treating it as a threat, and Masako getting possessed added real tension without overdoing it.
I really liked how this ep wrapped the school arc without a simple “evil ghost” answer. The mystery payoff felt surprisingly human, and Naru’s hospital scenes added a quiet tension I wasn’t expecting. Mai’s development here was also genuinely interesting.
capitulo final interesante ya que se descubre algo sobre Naru, por fin logran terminar con el caso de la familia Yoshimi, dejandolo a uno con ganas de ver mas sobre el anime para ver como se va desarrollando la historia de todos los del equipo Shibuya
Not gonna lie, this episode stressed me out way more than the earlier school case episodes. I’m really feeling for Mai here; trusting her instincts while everyone else turns suspicious added good tension, and that final sequence was genuinely unsettling.
capitulo lleno de momentos intensos, misterio, oscuridad, miedo y tension, cada vez obtienen mas informacion de lo sucedido y a su vez, cada vez se manifiestan mas espiritus, un final de capitulo que deja deseando mas.
This ep pivots so fast! I love how Naru shuts down the ghost theory because the power scale is just too high. Finding those creepy human-like dolls under the desk turned the school's "curse" into something way more calculated and ritualistic. Then the question, who did this?
