Well, after reading the description I expected somethin different, more into ghosts and scary atmosphere... At first, I was disappointed, but the story turned out to be interesting and worth watching.
It's 'a slice of life' anime with psychological stuff included in - as main characters are more into visiting the Unseen World you are told about how your brain works and about the scientifical point of view about dreams and memories. It all is necessary to have a beter understanding of the plot and things behind the scene ;)
What I liked the most in this serie were unique and deep characters, with traumatic pasts but with the power to live with it and not forgetting it. Thet are not friends and differences of their personalities made that show even more interesting, dialogues were really good, though I didn't like the animation... it was too simple.
So, summing up, this show was good, but not the best - i'm more into action series, fighting scenes etc. and that psychological talks made me litte bored, but I'd recommend Ghost Hound to anyone who is interested in influence of memories, dreams and selfconsciouness on live and also wants to watch a nice story about unusual relationship of boys and their adventures :)
