They used some dramatic piano muic this episode...which I think surprisingly worked?

I didn't get the chill of a scare at all this episode tbh. It felt more like a drama.

I thought this episode was actually kinda amazing, maybe just a smidge less since they went out of their way to underline it right at the end instead of let it stay mysterious but I love the horror that can come out of just bizarre perspectives on life and living and how they clash with what we conventionally agree thinking must be. It's not a skin crawling kind of thing that most of the other grest episodes of this show provide, almost more the sensation of witnessing something just a little bit demented.
I don't know everything. I just know what I know.

Sad but happy ending. I love them taking the flower readings every kid plays and turning it into something more. Great episode.

Little supernatural girl with the fortune reading, the guy died on the platform and his wife came for him in ghost form.

It was a good episode, the ending was predictable. In fact I could tell his wife was dead miles away. Still, it's better than some other episodes
4/5

This was sad more than scary. It's kinda like the sixth sense.

That might have been the nicest one. Bittersweet, but still nice. I was expecting the man to walk towards his wife and then get hit by a car/train or the kid pushes him in order to make her fortunes right.

But it was a nice ending. I liked it.

I prefer my Yami Shibai episodes to be scary, but hey, this one wasn't that bad. Predictable, but not bad.

Woah. This is one of the best episodes of Yami Shibai ever. And it seems there are not only evil, but good spirits in "That Side", or at least neutral.

Or "That Side" is like the Black Lodge/White Lodge from Twin Peaks, meaning there is the evil side that leaked into our world and the good side which his wife led him to.

5 out of 5 for me.

Bittersweet romantic drama. Loved it for some reason :) The way he kept on repeating "she will come, she won't come" with the child and the end.. Damn, tears in my eyes :'(

It was a nice and short bittersweet story with very great emotional music. It might not be the type of horror Yami Shibai usually does but damn that was great. He got reunited and died in the process but at least he's happy now.

The girl's eyes just scream "Omae wa mo *picks last petal* shindeiru" xD

This one kinda gives me the same type of feeling as the copying girl one for some reason. It was actually kinda sweet though.

Probably my favorite of the season, and I suppose that'd make it my favorite since 2, maybe 1? I don't really know what to say about it, it didn't really attempt horror in the traditional sense that Yami Shibai did. The horror from here comes from the expectation that you've watched Yami Shibai before. This was talked about in the Crow Children episode discussion thread but characters rarely survive in Yami Shibai, a bad ending is practically a guarantee and I'd argue that this can backfire but it can certainly be advantageous, especially if you the premise sucks you in. I quite like the idea of the flower fortune reading with 100% accuracy but I also liked the location and the guy questioning talking her. So while it was obvious his wife was dead, I suspected something bad to happen when she arrives, like it's time for him to die and the creepy girl will say "My readings are always right", the amount of relief I had when that didn't happen, and we got a happy reunion he was Bruce Willis all along reveal, that was great.

Surprisingly beautiful and touching. Probably one of the best ep of the series overall. This season can compare to season one.

Man, that was pretty good and kinda sad...

Seems like the man got reunited with his dead wife and now he's at peace.

Best episode of this season imo

given the nature of the show, not surprising death would come. But this was surprisingly a nice changeup.
