Synopsis:

Shou, Ako and Reiko are three friends who live in a spooky town filled with ghost stories and haunted places, such as the abandoned Kaidan Restaurant. From an encounter with a bullied classmate at school who’s acting strangely like a cat to vacationing in the countryside near a forest where a boy once drowned, the trio often find themselves in the middle of supernatural tales of terror. Whether they’re telling frightful legends or inadvertently interacting with the dead, Shou, Ako and Reiko will experience the scary side of life with curiosity and camaraderie.

Ayakashi - Japanese Classic Horror

Ayakashi - Japanese Classic Horror main image

The dark and brooding Ayakashi is composed of three horror stories: the narration of a young woman named Oiwa who was abandoned and betrayed by the one she truly loved, leading her to curse all who stood in her way; a story of two star-crossed lovers – a human and a forgotten god – and their struggle to have a future together; and the tale of an evil and malicious demon who is haunting and murdering a family for unknown purposes. Though different in animation style and tone, each story shares a similar theme: the darkness of the human heart.

Admittedly, Ayakashi is way more adult than Kaidan Restaurant (as the latter is more lighthearted - sort of - and deals with kiddy type ghost stories), but if you're into episode ghost stories these are two great ones to check out.

Both anime are about a group of people that hunt supernatural things to solve the case. mystery surrounds both anime and both have a wide range of interesting characters that you'll love to hate or just plain love. Kaidan restaurant seems to be a little more childish as the characters are all kids where ghost hunt seems to be more mature. check one out if you liked the other!

Gakkou no Kaidan and Kaidan Restaurant both follow a group of kids as they experience usually horrific, but often lighthearted encounters with the dead. Each can be considered fairly episodic and definitely has the same tone and feel, though I like Kaidan Restaurant a little more.
