The second half ofGhost Hunt(which ran only  single season) has a much darker tone than the more comic earlier episodes: the playful squabbling among the ill-assorted crew members of Shibuya Psychic Research gives way to life-or-death struggles aginst powerful supernatural foes. An expensive, private high school is haunted by the ghost of a frustrated student who committed suicide. An aged man who draws sustenance from the blood of murder victims lurks within the hidden rooms of a sprawling manor. Spirits take possession of the proprietors of a seaside inn, causing multiple deaths. Naru, the founder of Shibuya Psychic Research, tackles these mysteries with John, Ayako, Houshou, Lin, Masako, and Mai. Although Mai insists she possesses no psychic powers, her vivid dreams reveal the keys to the cases. Naru remains aloof and self-involved--much to Mai's chagrin, and her frustration at his indifference to her romantic approaches provides the only humor in these multi-part adventure. The first half ofGhost Huntis suitable for younger viewers, the second includes bloody violence and battles with zombies.
