Now, a review on the actual product.
There's nothing really hidden or ground breaking about this series. It's pretty straight forward. Saito can see the spirits of the dead. He can't purify them, but he can speak to them. Overall, you think Ghost Hunt (Same idea with a protagonist, and young woman duo) and sprinkle in some more action. There are actual antagonists instead of a vague "fighting spirits" or evil concepts.
However, the series doesn't have a streaming license and Sentai Filmworks is the only studio with a license for it in the states. Which because of the limited nature of it, makes it one I would pick up. Even if you try and get around not being a a supporter of companies importing great Anime, the fansubs have only been in 480 res for the most part, and it would behoove you to pick it up just for a decent 720 res.
Like the previous review states. There is no English dub. Most Anime purchasers in the States should be familiar with the market to know most of the companies in the business...
Okay but ultimately disappointing...
I really wanted to like this anime. Great central character and intriguing plot but all feel apart in last episodes because the stakes weren't high enough and Yakumo figured everything out too easily. A wasted trip!
They Messed Up
I'm sure this was a great anime, but it wasn't what I purchased. It originally stated "Audio: English" and if you look at the audio information when you insert the DVDs it will offer "Audio: English or None" and "Subtitles: English or None". So I can see how this mistake was made. However, I made my purchase according to the information provided.
