add recXXXHOLiC and Ghost Hunt are similar anime dealing with the spirit world and trouble caused by it. Both series are made of different story arcs and give a similar feeling to the viewer. I can assure you that you will find both anime interesting.
XXXHolic is an anime full of extra paranormal phenomena. For that matter Ghost Hunt can be associated with XXXHolic, without a doubt.
Both series involve the occult and mystery. Both also contain a good amount of humor mixed in with the more serious aspects of the show.
Dark atmosphere, bad spirits, curses and a lot of thrilling enjoyment that's what both series have to offer. Although plot may seem very diffrent both series come down to one thing: ghost hunting. They were one of the most enjoyable series I happend to see, so you should at least give it a try. You won't regret it!
In the world there are things we can't see but are of great importance. Ghosts, curses, dreams, superstitions and many other unexplained but commonly known phenomena.
At a general level people don't really believe in them, but sometimes they need to. So if, you are a part of those unbelievers who are in need to learn more about the other side of the world - the unseen and unknown side, you may be more than interested to do it while watching either Ghost Hunt, or xxxHolic. Both series provide much valuable and interesting information (personally, I leart alot just from watching!)
XXXholic and Ghost Hunt are anime with... horror! They both include ghosts, spirits, stories, legends and myths, pshychics and oracles! They have very interesting stories that might really scare you and both are suitable for light horror loving audiences! So, I say that if you liked one, you'll like the other one as well!
Both of these animes have a laughable, humerous side, whilst also having a serious, paranormal mysterious side. In each one the protagonist also must encounter various (sometimes life threatening) jobs, and so these series are both very similar, yet have a completely different feel to eachother. If you liked one, the other would certainly seem appealling.

add recAyatsuri Sakon and Ghost Hunt are both very similar because they are both a mystery about murders most of the time. I am absolutely positive you'll love one if you liked the other. :)
These are both case by case mysteries with a light horror feel to them. Ayatsuri Sakon focuses more on the mystery and Ghost Hunt focuses more on the horror aspect of the anime. However, both are intriguing and the central characters are endearing.
Both Ayatsuri Sakon and Ghost Hunt are discovery animes in the sense that the protagonists often try to uncover some sort of mystery.
Both series follow a similar episodic manner in development, displaying several varying scenarios, while having a single storyline carrying through.
While Ayatsuri Sakon is aimed toward uncovering criminals and Ghost Hunt is aimed at the surreal, they both utilize an excellent deductive process which viewers may find intriguing.
Because both of them follow a team of people who solve murder mysteries, and both are quite a bit like Sherlock Holmes. While we see things through Mai's eyes in Ghost Hunt, we see things through Ukon's eyes in Ayatsuri Sakon, and the time it takes to solve each mystery, the complex plot and characters are all very similar.
Mushishi
It isn't unusual for a person to feel that the world around them is strange and has unexpected secrets lying just beyond their sight. However, for most people this is just an occasional sensation that greets them upon awakening or chases them into sleep. For the mushi researcher Ginko, it isn't a feeling at all; it is a knowledge which guides his travels and motivates his life. Found in the cracks between what is conceivable and what is not, are the varied life forms collectively known as mushi. They surround us and affect us, but their intensely different nature makes them unrecognizable to most. Ginko brings these life forms into perspective for the lives of those most affected and most in need of an explanation.

add recBoth Ghost Hunt and Mushishi are a lot about the spiritual world. The characters and plot differs heavily in the two series, which some people might say makes up an anime but let's not forget the mood and atmosphere, shall we? As these are something that is excellent in both series, since they both manage to have that persistent creepy feeling you get out of a true ghost story.
If you loved all of the mystery solving mayhem in Ghost Hunt and need to keep your detective skills up to par, there aren't many other anime like it to turn to; but there is Mushishi. Mushishi is not about ghost hunting, it's about mushishi hunting. Both anime are episodic in nature and have a new mystery to solve each time around. The stories behind both are very deep and will pull you in. I'm telling you I've seen a lot of garbage anime and this is the only anime that even comes close to Ghost Hunt.
It's the feeling, yeah, the feeling after watching them. I won't describe it. :P It's just the same in Mushishi and Ghost Hunt; maybe it's because of the unnatural phenomenon.
They are similar because they both have the concept of finding and getting rid of ghosts/spirits/Mushi. Ghost Hunt is set in a more modern day, where as mushishi is set in ancient times, so if you don't mind the difference in time and like a spirit type mysterious anime that is episodic and liked one, you will probably like the other

add rec<p>Both are mind-puzzling shows and they resemble each other though one has darker atmosphere. </p><br><br>
<p>Conan investigates crimes; he searches the truth behind those mysteries. Naru and the rest of the SPR investigates the supernatural; they go to places and solve the mysteries behind the unbelievable. </p><br><br>
<p>Murderers and criminals are caught in Detective Conan, whereas ghosts and demons are discovered and freed in Ghost Hunt.</p><br><br>
<p>Both are wonderful shows.</p>
If you liked Case Closed or Ghost Hunt, you'd also like the other one, because both are mainly about detective work: in Case Closed it's traditional detective work like solving a murder whereas Ghost Hunt is about cases caused by ghosts and other supernatural things.
Both have some kind of comedy in it, but the story mainly focuses on the cases which are solved. Both animes also have a small amount of dramatic/tragic elements in it.
Another similarity is that the team of investigators is mostly not personally involved in the cases (e.g. no one of the team will ever be killed or something).
Ghost Hunt has a somehow darker and creepier atmosphere than Case Closed, but anyway both animes are quite exciting and fun to watch and you can follow the train of thought of the investigators and try to solve the case yourself.
Solving mysteries is what both these anime do best. Ghost hunt focuses on the supernatural ghost chasing where conan focuses on catching the bad guy in crime. Both anime have a wide rage of interesting and unique characters that are sure to entertain. Check one out if you liked the other.

add recif you like Ghost Hunt for its mysteries, then you should definitely try watching Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro. Although, at first, it comes off as a little slow, the cases get better and better. some of its episodes are downright exhilirating, if i do say so for myself. very nice anime, plus the fact that it has comedy somewhere in between is a bonus too!
Both featuring a school girl unwittingly thrust into investigate supernatural mysteries, Ghost Hunt and Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro are excellent examples of blending unusual genres seamlessly.
With both comedic and a more serious side, these shows promise a rollercoaster ride through emotions and involve plenty of action to keep you on the edge of your seat. Ghost Hunt relies more on mythology and spirits for the entertainment, whereas MTNN will keep the bloodthirsty happy with lashings of gory action.
I think viewers with an open mind will enjoy both of these shows.
Both series involve detective agencies on supernatural cases. The main characters are females who are not afraid of the dark or what lies within in it. Co-workers become freinds along the way.
