When's the last time an anime you have watched scared you? In the most obvious sense? First ask yourself that question before reading the rest of this review.

Yonimo Osoroshii Nihon Mukashibanashi doesn't try to. Not conventionaly at least. It's tales are executed in a way that take on a form of 'external horror'. Or i guess 'horrific' to make the viewer understand how terrible things happen in the world and there's nothing we can do about them.
Each of these tales takes a horrific scenario and pushes it to the far extremes.

I want to note that finding this anime subbed online is quite challenging as it ...

Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (Unknown/3 eps)
This is a horror anime, but I was like WTF? All the time.
There are three short stories, kinda disturbing, but not scary.
I think pointless death isn't scary at all.
I could write about the plot, but there's no plot, also you feel sorry for the guys in three stories.
All I can say if you want to be scared this anime is not a good option, if you like disturbing pointless plot, so be my guest.
