00:00Scooby-Doo, where are you? We got some work to do now. Scooby-Doo-Bee-Doo, where are you? We need some help from you now.

00:12Hey guys, welcome back to New Paces. Once again, this is your host, Nagima, and in today's video, I'm going to be doing yet another anime review right now.

00:25And this one, I'm going to be reviewing what is described as a horror psychological anime. Today's anime is actually based around some crazy stuff, right? Today's anime is called Ghost Hunt.

00:43It's pretty much like an anime version of the actual Ghost Busters stuff, that TV show that has been going on.

00:53And it follows this sort of ghost hunting adventure, where you have this girl named Miyataniyama. She's a high school student who becomes involved with this guy called Kazuya Shibuya.

01:08He's from Shibuya Psychic Research, and he's a young adult, like, I think about a year and a half older, right? So he's a pretty young manager to, like, own this stuff, right?

01:21But she ends up, like, working for him in this sort of, like, you know, psychic research journey he's doing. And after a pretty oddly weird encounter he had, apparently at the beginning, it starts off with Termin Directing.

01:39She gets in an accident with one of his co-workers before Shibuya gets injured. She ends up having to, like, make up for it by working for him for free, pretty much, right? So that's how it starts.

01:55Throughout the show, she ends up nicknaming him now because of his, like, and his personality.

02:01He seems to get to introduce these other characters who he starts to, like, work with on different missions, and then eventually become part of his group.

02:12Among them are a Buddhist monk named Hoshio Takigawa, a shrine maiden Akoyo Matsuraki, a celebrity-themed psychic Masako Hara, and a Catholic priest from Australia named John Brown.

02:29All right, so yeah, like, different characters with some different personalities.

02:34Now, the show, it's about paranormal activity. That's what they investigate.

02:40You know, the characters focusing on...

02:43Apparently, some of them have, like, latent psychic abilities.

02:46You know, where they can, like, dream about stuff or they can, you know, do stuff that would seem impossible to the average person.

02:57But to them, it's, like, this stuff that has to do with the spirit will and psychic energy and the soul and all that other stuff.

03:07And it also involves, like, the dead and the past and all that other stuff.

03:13Pretty weird shit that you would expect when you look into this stuff, you know, this sort of paranormal activity stuff.

03:21This anime is, like, how to say, it's pretty much the gist of it.

03:28If you've seen, like, Ghostbusters and such, it's pretty much follows along that lines, except it's more...

03:35It plays up more to the supernatural aspects of it than the, you know, conspiracy, technological, fictional aspect.

03:44And you also have these characters, these different characters, where you get to see them interact with each other.

03:50And it's, in a way, it's introduced in a way where it's, like, a anime version of Ghostbusters.

03:59But then as you watch more of it, it starts to play off like an anime version of Scooby-Doo.

04:05Just with more supernatural stuff going on.

04:08And watching the show, I'm not gonna lie, at first I was a bit sceptical about it, you know, to see if we're gonna get in to the horror stuff that it's supposed to be happening.

04:21Because, you know, it's labelled as, in the horror genre, psychological horror.

04:27That's where I found it.

04:29And I will say, to some extent, it does play up to that.

04:33But it just doesn't really live up to it.

04:35You know, it goes more on a Scooby-Doo sort of route.

04:39Or, you're looking at the show, and, you know, in the show's defense, they do give you explanations and backstories for certain things that would happen, that would, like, what the hell.

04:54So they give you a lot of explanation for a lot of the stuff.

04:58Which, it comes off, like, a lot of, like, exposition and such.

05:01You get to, like, understand how some of the stuff works.

05:05And it's not all, but it's not just, oh yeah, you know, it's just something you don't understand.

05:11And it's better to, like, you know, just think from it, you know.

05:15They actually do try to build down quite a bit of this stuff that goes on.

05:20And sometimes it makes sense, and sometimes it doesn't.

05:25That's pretty much the gist of it when it comes to, like, psychological and this sort of, like, supernatural stuff that goes on.

05:34Also, a lot of the stuff that does get explored in this supernatural, it's, there's some pretty interesting Japanese mythology and history in it.

05:45There's that to it.

05:46Um, the downside with this anime, however, is that the way the characters are written, the main character, right?

05:52They, at first, they, they sort of, like, try to write him as this, this sort of, like, big brain guy, right?

06:00Who, who knows exactly what's going on.

06:03And, like, he, he kind of figure out the scenario, you know, like, this sort of, like, high IQ guy, right?

06:09And then they, they play up throughout the show where, you know, things happen.

06:14And then he, like, he, he knows the explanation as to what and how, right?

06:22Like, he, he has it down to a T.

06:24And during all these investigations, he, like, he's the guy to, to go through it.

06:31And another thing that happens to his, with his character, his personality, and, you know, the, the soul gang that comes together, and they go in these different cases.

06:41Because it gets very repetitive over time, like, you see these characters, and, you know, like, they might get in a position where, like, something crazy is happening, and they're like, oh, shit, like, what are they going to do?

06:53And after a while, like, the first few cases, he tend to, like, realize that, you know, they aren't really much in danger when it comes to doing this job.

07:03I mean, like, crazy stuff happens, but you're always realizing that none of them are really going to, like, actually die, per se, right?

07:13They always end up being the case, and none of them really gets much thing to them, like, maybe they might get, like, a little injury here and there, and that's pretty much it.

07:25It feels a bit on the safe side, you know, it's literally about supernatural stuff and psychiatric stuff, you know, it's, like, the main characters, you know, that's what they, they study.

07:42And another thing, too, so, this has been the horror genre, this anime isn't really all that scary.

07:49There are some scenes that might look creepy and such, especially if you're, like, someone who's not really well versed in the horror genre, and, like, you see this stuff that happens, you're, like, oh, you know, but that's pretty much the most of it.

08:02You don't really get, like, actually that scared of what you're seeing, and that's a common thing I've noticed with a lot of these horror anime's that are classified as horror, they're not really that scary.

08:14Well, so far, the ones I've seen, maybe I might run into one that's actually scary, but so far, they're not really that scary.

08:23Now, with this anime, there is about 25, 26 episodes, so it's a pretty long first season, right, even though it's only lasts, like, one season, apparently the manga, it stopped before it got to finish, so it's, it wasn't completed.

08:41And the manga is from, like, back in the 90s, so I don't know if this will ever continue past this, um, first season for the anime, since the manga is, isn't finished.

08:54But 25 episodes is all you got, and throughout the show, you see them go through, like, different characters and all these different cases,

09:02and the one thing I realize that among them is, this anime, it tends to, like, do a bit too much on the exposition or stuff and the explaining stuff.

09:14When it gets down to, like, the real creepy stuff, it gets quite a bit too boring.

09:21It's not, like, completely boring, it's just, the characters, there are some good characters, there are some pretty good moments,

09:27but, overall, they aren't really all that much per se, like, like, I said, um, it really does feel like you're watching, like, an anime version of Scooby-Doo,

09:36more than a anime version of Ghostbusters.

09:40It kind of really does make it less entertaining for you when you look at it through that lens,

09:46especially when you might get to the, to the ending aspect of it,

09:49because this is what really sort of, like, did it in for me, is that when you get to the whole ending, right,

09:56because the show, right from the beginning and the middle,

09:59you have them introduce the main character, his nickname is Naaru,

10:04and he's, like, this, this big brain guy, this high IQ guy,

10:08and he's really smart, and he, you know, he always knows how to, like, solve the problem,

10:14or, or whatever, the situation that they're in, whichever case that they're in, he always, like,

10:21can solve the case.

10:22And the ending, it's presented in a fashion where it's not really about much the knowledge per se.

10:32I don't really like the spoiler, but the ending, you know, it gets so weird, like,

10:39for a second, when you watch the ending, and, you know, you take into consideration the rest of the show,

10:45like, the audio episode,

10:48you're left thinking it, but it seemed like one big contradiction,

10:53because, when I watched it, what it do is that it plays out the fact that

10:58a lot of these different characters, they have their, their thing,

11:05and, you know, psychology and supernatural phenomenon and stuff,

11:11and with the sort of, like, um, death occult stuff,

11:16and, like, they know how to do it, they own different sort of things,

11:20they can teach it to each other,

11:22and, in case of now,

11:24but, that, that last episode,

11:27it made me feel like

11:29they were basically making him out to be, like,

11:32a one-punch-man character,

11:34where he does

11:36this thing, and, you know, he's like,

11:38wow, saved today, and I'm like,

11:40yeah, and that's going to be

11:41a huge no

11:44for me, and,

11:46you know, to the anime defense, again,

11:48they do a lot of explanation to, like,

11:50go through and defend all this stuff,

11:52what's happening, like, okay, this is

11:54why, and this is how it happens,

11:56I, I just didn't really buy into,

11:57to that aspect,

11:59with how it, the last, like,

12:02two episodes ever was,

12:04especially given the scenarios

12:06there was in

12:07leading up to that, right,

12:10you know, because they're taking on these different cases,

12:13of, like,

12:15people talking about, like,

12:16the problems you have with, like,

12:18these ghosts or these spirits,

12:19they're doing all this stuff

12:21in these different cases,

12:23but here,

12:24I just didn't really

12:26dig into it,

12:28you know,

12:29and,

12:29to be fair,

12:30it's not that I'm saying it,

12:32it makes the whole thing

12:33terrible, right,

12:35I mean,

12:35this anime is still

12:37watchable,

12:38you know,

12:39if you're into, like,

12:40supernatural stuff,

12:42and,

12:43all this, like,

12:45psychiatry stuff,

12:46you,

12:47you could still find yourself

12:48enjoying

12:49stuff in this character,

12:51in this anime,

12:52the characters and such,

12:53they,

12:53they are likable,

12:55but,

12:55they don't really have

12:56that much characterization

12:58for them,

13:00I mean,

13:00they introduce them,

13:01and you get to see them do stuff,

13:03and,

13:03and such,

13:04but there's not really

13:05that much depth to them,

13:07you know,

13:08there's, like,

13:08face value such,

13:10they do tend to, like,

13:12try and,

13:13oversimplify a lot of the stuff

13:15that goes around them,

13:17you know,

13:17to not make it too complicated,

13:20and just really find all of that,

13:22it really made it

13:23less interesting for me,

13:27for my taste,

13:28but in terms of, like,

13:29the animation style,

13:31it's,

13:31it's okay,

13:32you know,

13:33for an anime that

13:33came back in 2006,

13:35this is actually

13:37pretty good animation,

13:39you know,

13:39it's done by JC staff,

13:41so, you know,

13:42they have the animation

13:44on point,

13:45you know,

13:45it's not like,

13:46it looks really terrible,

13:48or anything,

13:49the,

13:49soundtrack for the anime,

13:52it's actually pretty good,

13:53I think the soundtrack

13:54is the strongest

13:55point out of all

13:57the different aspects

13:58of this anime,

14:00easily the strongest point,

14:01given all the,

14:03the writing,

14:04the characterization,

14:04everything else is,

14:06pretty much,

14:07I think that's pretty much it,

14:09so far,

14:10for this anime,

14:11there's not really much else

14:12I can go into,

14:13unless if,

14:14you know,

14:15I want to,

14:15like,

14:15spoil anything,

14:17because,

14:18if you guys want to check it out,

14:20you know,

14:20it's,

14:21it's something that,

14:22sort of like,

14:23if you're watching one of those,

14:26horror movies in Hollywood,

14:27like,

14:28you know,

14:28these horror movies

14:29that come out today,

14:30where,

14:31they,

14:33you have like,

14:33these generic characters,

14:35right,

14:36and then,

14:38this,

14:39weird,

14:40monster,

14:41supernatural stuff,

14:43and,

14:44this crazy stuff happens,

14:46and you're like,

14:47huh,

14:47but,

14:48you know,

14:49you watch it,

14:50you're like,

14:50you've seen all of this before,

14:52right,

14:52so it's like a generic horror movie,

14:54where,

14:55things have repetitive jump scares,

14:58and,

14:58if it,

14:59it has some,

15:00decent,

15:02soundtrack,

15:02or something,

15:03but,

15:04it's,

15:04loaded with jump scares,

15:06the characters,

15:07are generic,

15:08and bland,

15:10the monster,

15:11or,

15:12whatever it is,

15:13that's haunting them,

15:15is,

15:15not scary,

15:16and is,

15:17most of the time,

15:18pretty much a CGI,

15:20stuff that,

15:21just,

15:22added in,

15:23in the editing room,

15:24and,

15:25it's,

15:25just,

15:26overall,

15:26not scary,

15:28or,

15:28that,

15:29creepy,

15:29even,

15:30and,

15:31sadly,

15:32this,

15:32anime,

15:33being categorized as a horror anime,

15:35it,

15:36kind of,

15:37feels like that,

15:39you know,

15:39that the only difference there,

15:41is that,

15:42this anime actually does,

15:44make the characters,

15:47seem,

15:47likeable,

15:48even though,

15:49they're not really,

15:50all that much,

15:51well written,

15:53or they don't have,

15:54that much characterization,

15:55to them,

15:56they're still,

15:57interesting characters,

15:58like,

15:59if this anime,

15:59had a season 2,

16:00I would actually,

16:01be willing to watch it,

16:03just to see more,

16:04of these,

16:05different characters,

16:06interacting with each other,

16:07to see where they go,

16:08and,

16:09that's pretty much it,

16:11you know,

16:12it comes like,

16:12the supernatural stuff,

16:13and all this other stuff,

16:14I just really,

16:15wasn't,

16:16digging it actually,

16:17to tell you the truth,

16:18and,

16:19not to say it's bad,

16:20because,

16:21they do a lot,

16:22of,

16:23you know,

16:24building up,

16:24and a lot of,

16:24like,

16:25explanation,

16:26to make it seem,

16:27sensible,

16:29sometimes too much,

16:30and,

16:31maybe that's,

16:32probably why,

16:33it,

16:34ends up becoming,

16:34like,

16:35less,

16:36horror,

16:38because,

16:38one of the things,

16:39that people say,

16:40about,

16:41when it comes to horror,

16:42is that,

16:42you don't,

16:43understand,

16:44in these sort of,

16:45like,

16:45scenarios,

16:46like,

16:47lack of knowledge,

16:48and,

16:48lack of,

16:49experience,

16:50and these things,

16:51that's,

16:52what makes,

16:53feeling more,

16:54convincing,

16:56and I get,

16:56you know,

16:56a lot of these people here,

16:59these characters,

16:59in the show,

17:00they are like,

17:01expert at this stuff,

17:02so,

17:03they will be,

17:04really,

17:05experienced,

17:05and be able to,

17:06like,

17:06understand,

17:07and,

17:08identify all the situations,

17:09that they're in,

17:10but overall,

17:11I just think that,

17:12they could have done,

17:13a lot less of that,

17:14and a lot more of the,

17:16you know,

17:17playing up the,

17:18unknown aspect,

17:20and make it,

17:21more,

17:22supernatural,

17:23and a lot more,

17:24creepier,

17:25so,

17:26yeah,

17:26um,

17:28overall,

17:28that pretty much,

17:29sums it,

17:29up,

17:30therefore,

17:31this horror,

17:33categorized horror anime,

17:35there's not really much else,

17:36I,

17:36can't say for it,

17:39I notice that this review,

17:40probably might come for a bit more negative,

17:42than positive,

17:44and even though,

17:45it's not like,

17:46this anime is,

17:47that bad,

17:48it's just,

17:49painfully average,

17:51if I would like,

17:52rate it on a scale,

17:53I'd say it's,

17:55just right on a neutral point,

17:59and the only reason,

18:00it actually makes a neutral point,

18:01is for the,

18:03you know,

18:03the likable characters,

18:05if it wasn't for that,

18:07it would pretty much be,

18:09a huge negative for me,

18:12you know,

18:12and,

18:13I think for the first time,

18:14I kind of reluctant,

18:15to actually recommend people,

18:17watch this anime,

18:18you know,

18:19because,

18:20when you,

18:21want to recommend,

18:21to people to watch an anime,

18:23you want to recommend,

18:23something that's interesting,

18:25right,

18:25and something that's,

18:27that can be entertaining,

18:28and I don't think this anime,

18:30is,

18:31up there,

18:32you know,

18:33even though,

18:34it,

18:34it does,

18:36have some entertaining moments,

18:38so,

18:40yeah,

18:40overall,

18:41that,

18:42pretty much sums up my,

18:43review here,

18:44on,

18:44ghost hunt,

18:46painfully average anime,

18:48great concept,

18:49though,

18:50great,

18:50um,

18:51ideas,

18:51just,

18:52not good execution,

18:54not,

18:55enough,

18:56you know,

18:56in depth,

18:57ness to it,
