description Ghost Hound Overview
Strange things are happening around the town of Suiten. The daughter of a priest begins to see strange visions, spirits have started to roam the mountains, and Tarou Komori is having unsettling dreams. Due to the trauma of being kidnapped 11 years ago, he has repressed most of the memories that could shed light on what really happened. But they return in his sleep, combined with encounters beyond the realm of dreams.
As the supernatural and psychological collide, three children struggle to face their demons and repair the breach between the spiritual and corporeal worlds.
help Ghost Hound FAQ
Who made the anime Ghost Hound?
Ghost Hound was produced by studio Production I.G and aired in 2007–2008 as a 22-episode series. It was directed by Ryūtarō Nakamura and written by Chiaki J. Konaka, the same creative pairing famous for Serial Experiments Lain.
How many episodes does Ghost Hound have?
It runs 22 episodes. That length gives the slow-burn psychological story room to develop its three traumatized protagonists and the mystery around the town of Suiten.
Is Ghost Hound similar to Serial Experiments Lain?
It's the closest thing to a spiritual successor, since it reunites director Ryūtarō Nakamura with writer Chiaki J. Konaka. Like Lain, it mixes psychology, technology, and altered states of consciousness, but Ghost Hound grounds its supernatural elements in neurology and trauma rather than the internet.
What happens to Tarō Komori in Ghost Hound?
Tarō was kidnapped with his sister eleven years before the story begins, and the trauma left him with repressed memories and disturbing dreams. After the kidnapping he begins having out-of-body experiences, projecting his 'astral body' into the spirit-haunted mountains around Suiten.
