Comments on: Ghost Hound Review - 92/100 http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/04/04/ghost-hound-review-92100/ An anime blog covering a large variety of series, both popular and underrated.

I myself believe that my own OBE's were just extremely realistic dreams. Remember, it was the actual town itself that caused mutations in the brains of the inhabitants that allowed them to do such things. Regardless of what you believe, the series never really said that X is true and Y is false. It let you decide for yourself :) @Ryuk I used to think that I had experienced OBE’s as well, but I think this series does a good job at showing both sides of the debate on whether or not OBE’s are real or a fabrication of the brain.

Watching it confirmed two things for me - one, I have had some...experiences in the past. And two...so have the people that created the series. Beautiful and highly underrated series.

Don't get me wrong but all these concepts are real!!I had out-body-experiences, I had lucid dreams and let me tell you that the anime describes them very well. I get the feeling that no one seems to get the message very clear.Of course we should talk about the art, sound, plot but has anyone searched more about the topic of each episode(right when the opening ends they show it) Maybe my thinking is weird but that's because I had OBE's and lucid dreams and everyone can have them. Don't treat this anime like some other supernatural series For me the goal of the anime is to bring out-of-body experiences/astral projection/lucid dreams into the mainstream anime and to make theme an important topic for the viewer.

It was directed by the director of Lain and Kino no Tabi. ;) Also, the rushed parts didn't come from the plot, but the characters. I think that especially Tarou and Miyako became friends a bit too easily in that final episode. Actually, Masamune Shirou simply designed the concept for this series.

Id rate it 97/100 -1 for the slow start -1 for the misleading op sequence and theme -1 for the main characters mother not snapping like I thought she would (heh) masamune shirow, the guy from ghost in the shell was doing this too. . .dont know if he did lain or not but when I saw his name on the first ep I new this was going to be good.

Not exactly horror as listed under genre types on some sites, but very high suspense and masterfully told storyline. A must watch for any high drama, high suspense, and some supernatural elements fan. The suspense in this anime with unique sound effects is different from usual, and it works great especially if you give the shinsen dd5.1 mkv files a try! I was hooked right from the fly on the lips sound effcts (think it was ep 1 or 2) Definitely worth it!

I was hooked from the start. The characters were great, the sound was outstanding, and the building up was incredibly solid. Probably the best Psychological anime I will ever see. 94/100 I guess it's time to try out Lain next. I loved this show so much. I was hooked from the start.

It does not get enough love. I have never see a series with better ambient music/sound or something that creeped me out as much that I still loved enough to watch. *hug* I am so glad someone else watched, loved and appriciated this series.
