SYNOPSIS:

Adopted from a series of novels by Ono Fuyumi (The Twelve Kingdoms or Juuni Kokki), the story is exactly as the title suggests, a.k.a. GHOST HUNT. It begins with the heroine Taniyama Mai and her friends talking about ghosts in the AudioVisual Room. They talked about the old school building where a teacher committed suicide by hanging himself. Since then strange accidents happened whenever they wanted to do construction work on the old building. The principle then brought in a bunch of experts to get rid of what they believed to be ghosts or spirits that caused these strange accidents. The experts brought in include a ghost hunter and owner of the Shibuya Psychic Research (SPR) Shibuya Kazuya, the miko Matsuzaki Ayako, Takigawa Houshou, a bass musician who also gets rids of spirits, Hara Masako, a cute Japanese doll looking girl whose mouth can translate messages from the spirits. Finally, there’s John Brown who is a foreigner (obvious) and speaks Japanese with a Kansai accent but he’s really a good exorcist.

Overall:

These vocalists are the voice actors for the five main guys. Frankly, I was rather shocked in the beginning to know these voice actors are picked for this series. Reason is because aside from Taniyama, the rest are not particularly good at singing (relatively compared to other voice actors). To cast them in a music themed game is just crazy. However, from this ending theme, it’s pretty obvious the guys have put a lot of effort chucking out a relatively decent piece. For non-seiyuu fans, I’m not sure what your judgment will be. For me though, I give a pretty good rating just for their efforts!
