Yes yes yes!! More horror anime is great! I've always lament the lack of horror in anime format, so this is a great news for me, even though it could possibly turn out to be bad. Anyway, can't wait to learn of more spooky tales.

Somebody should really animate some other horror manga already, that would be great.

I'm alright with this show. Originally didn't have much interest in it but some of the previous episodes had a few memorable moments.

That's good, but horror is going into short series route :(
A shame full length horrors are not feasible.

I absolutely love urban legends. The second season had some pretty interesting stories but wasn't nearly as scary as the first season, but this sounds pretty promising.

Actually the interesting portion is what I look forward to the most, rather than the horror. I love learning of new urban tales, it's interesting to know more about what others have or could have experienced in the other part of the world. It's interesting because I personally have never been involved in any paranormal activity. Not that I would like to, but it's interesting to learn more about it. XD

Looking forward to it! Focusing on urban tales rather than just horror stories seems interesting. The second season wasn't as good as the first; I'm hoping this one will be better.

Cool! Since the scriptwriter from S1 is making a return, hopefully it'll be just as decent. Looking forward to Tsuda's greeting dialogue.~

Holy shit! The official website is creepy AF!

This season you have 2 horror anime: Kagewani and Kowabon, so we aren't that bad.

Also Toei Animation somewhere in he future will adapt a 15 episodes horror story: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2015-07-27/thr-eiji-ohtsuka-writes-book-toei-produces-anime-as-tie-ins-to-western-movie-temple/.90973

Though I've also shared memories with Haruhi, Asahina-san and Koizumi, I found that I've experienced more events with Nagato in particular. In fact, every situation seems to involve her. I might as well mention this, she's probably the only person to cause the bell within me to shake the most vigorously..." ~ Kyon, TMOSH

I'll give it another chance. I mean, season one was great, it was just season two that made me shrug.

Season 1 had me jumping at some moments. Season 2 had the creepy atmosphere as season 1, but it wasn't scary nor did it make me jump. Still a good short though

Yep yep, even though I haven't try Kagewani yet, I am looking forward to watching it.

Thanks for the information, I didn't know that another horror series is coming up soon. I wonder how Toei will animate this, is it gonna be like Mononoke, or is it gonna be like Kuuchuu Buranko.. or something else. I can't wait to see how they will handle it.

But still, horror anime is not very common, we don't often get one, and when we do, it will take a while until the next one comes. It is just not a very popular genre.

Speaking of horror series, even though it's more supernatural than horror it'd be great to have Ghost Hunt season 2. That is one of the very few horror series that genuinely terrorized me. I still remember that scene where Mai was dragged underground and was about to get decapitated alive.. just shameless advertising trying to appeal to horror fans here ;P

Hey, going for urban legends will do good for the series, if they truly introduce 100 characters then we'll have quite the feast. :)

The first season of Yami Shibai was one of the few horror anime that really creeped me out. I didn't find the second as scary but still alright. I'm pretty excited for this, hopefully it'll be more like the first.

Good, Yami Shibai is a very interesting series. I wish there were more horror animes, both Kowabi and Kagewani this season aren't good. But, 100 characters remind me of Hyaku Monogatari, will it have a episode about?.
