Ghost Hound is fucking confusing
Posted On February 25, 2008
…but not in the way that you may think.
See, what I’m confused over is whether I like the show or not. Each individual episode is well put together, yet instead archiving the show, I find myself deleting each episode after I’m done with it. I think it’s because when I look at the show holistically, there’s not much there. If you take a look at the first 13 episodes, very little has happened between all the astral projection and science lectures. While that’s all fun and good, the show doesn’t feel especially filling, and is almost forgettable.
Also, this show should have more girls in it so instead of a bunch of shotas running around as ghosts, we’d get a bunch of Enma Ai clones doing the same thing.

Ghost Hound is somehow an experimental field for the director to play around with mysterious settings, sound effects and visuals. It is a masterpiece regarding the creation of atmosphere and it’s very valuable as some sort of artistic tutorial.
As an entertainment show it is sure lacking in substance and I am not sure if people will still remember it in a few years. But for now it has the highest density of atmosphere possible in a weekly mystery show and that’s what I love about it.
>>we’d get a bunch of Enma Ai clones doing the same thing.
Those are reserved for the 3rd season of Jigoku. I mean, how are they going to carry the show around without Enma Ai? Yeah, her clones.
