I first discovered this by reading the novel and then I found out it was in anime form and I loved it and how the characters were portrayed. What is fun is to read the novel and then watch the movie form and see if there are any similarities or differences. This one is a must see.

OMG! this is such a good series!!!

My friend told me about this and i'm so glad that i gave it a try!

the series starts with Mai and two of her friends telling ghost stories in the school. while they were telling stories a mysterious boy name Kazuya Shibuya (who mai nick named 'naru') appears. Through some circumstances Mai ends up as a part timer assistant at Naru's psychic research centre which specializes in ghost hunting.

The first episode introduces all of the main characters. Such as:

*John Brown - an exorcist from Australia. *Ayako Matsuzaki - a self-styled priestess. *Houshou Takigawa - a part time monk. His real profession is a bass player. *Masako - a celebrity psychic, whom senses spirits. *Koujo Lin - Kazuya's assistant, his powers include exorcism and spirit summoning.

The series shows the crew going to places that they are called to, to hunt spirts. I like it beccause it has suspence and comedy. Theres a story behind their cases and it always keeps you wanting more and thinking..'why is that house haunted by the spirit?' or 'whats going on?' etc.

I especially think it's funny when Mai gets jealous of Masako being with Naru or the fantasies she has about naru LOL

There's actually a lot of unexplained things in this series like... why is Mai having dreams/premonitions of the cases with Naru in it? or SPOILER why didn't Naru tell the crew that he is actually a very powerful psychic? END OF SPOILER so much things left unanswered. But, i'm hoping there's a second season, because this series is too good to not have one!

GIVE IT A TRY! IT'S REALLY GOOD! i really recommend this to people who like watching stuff like CSI.
