This was kind of weird...

We get some strange activities involving the elevator. For some reason, this reminded me of the Eliza Lam case a few years ago except the people aren't the strange ones but rather what came in is.

Well this one was pure crap. First episode was ok, it at least had a bit of tension, but this one? People in the elevator, then when something actually happens it's hard to tell what it even is cause the art was confusing S:

Also, if the animation's gonna be so horrible, they should've just made short live-action films (although I guess nobody'd watch that).

I hope next time they don't do a camera footage kind of thing. They probably do that as an excuse for low frame rate <<

That was actually pretty hilarious, especially when that ghost was trying to get in the elevator and she screamed!

MAL should probably add the "Comedy" tag on this entry.

That only worked because the girl wasn't looking up when she went into the elevator, lucky ghost lol. If it someone else who was paying attention, they would've immediately screamed or ran away when the elevator opened. Now I don't want to go into elevators either...

The first episode was better. More tension. Still nothing amazing. Not impressed with this anime at all. Do not like the animation style either. Dropped.

This hadn't much tention as the first one, but it still got me a little worked out. Still for the 3 minute running that's more emotion than other 24 minute shows have made me have.

I was kind of dissapointed in this episode. Not only was the first episode more scary and had better visuals, there was also no connection between the epsiodes what so ever except it looked like the same monster. I really hope they introduce the connection soon, like, some people trying to catch the monster or something?
I agree with everyone else that animation is also dissapointing.... But am I the only one who finds the character design really cool? I really like their faces, very realistic and they look a lot like the actors.

I barely noticed the shadow until the woman came. Not as nearly as distinct as the first episode, but it was alright.

Will drop it if next week's story is underwhelming.

It was cool how you could notice that there was someone in the elevator though (you could see hair).

So this is how you feel when you watch a paranormal activity from CCTV viewpoint, not as scary as firstperson viewpoint

I can't help but wonder if part of this episode wasn't inspired by the Elisa Lam elevator video (although it's anyone's guess if that case is even common knowledge in Japan).

I think the next episodes will just be random people falling victim to this ghoul woman. But, I hope not. I'd like to see the episodes be a bit more connected and include some sort of explanation behind the strange girl.

I'm Liking it. short tidbits of the ring, anime style. I will not lie, I saw the ring when it came out, man that was the horror film I was scared of for a long time.
(My family is weird and I grew up watching all the horror and cheesy horror with my mom)
I am super enjoying this. Maybe I just had the lowest expectations because of "Pupa"
and I don't have to watch all the boring people try to futilely figure out how to stop it
Just jump straight to the killing. Great.
Maybe with this I can finally get my mom into some anime. lol.

Why didn't she just use the stairs? lol

Remind me of Elisa Lam, as some users have already said. Now that I think about it, an anime based in this case would be very interesting.

There's a clock at the bottom of the screen. Shit starts to get weird when it started nearing 12 AM, which is around the time the girl got in. When it ticks 12 AM, the ghost appears, the camera glitches and then it cuts to 2:40 AM.

Well, that was interesting. Like a psychological horror that isn't a psychological horror. More like what the hell. Won't drop it though, it's only three minutes.
