The mask was very creepy but compared to the other deaths the car accident was really boring. Those eyes though!

The idea of a cursed mask and anyone having it on dies is cool, but the eyes at the end was weird.

This anime has the habit to fuck it up at the end.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Well, I liked the idea of a mask that shows the last moments of its previous users. It was more enjoyable to watch than many other episodes. Howerver, I particularly found his death very... "typical". Being hit by a car... kind of boring in my opinion.

Actually decent. Reminds me of Spirit Circle.

Should have ended with the shopkeeper killing him for trying to steal the mask though.

I lol'd when I saw those eyes. They seemed more proper for an edgy creepypasta video.

I mostly thought it was some kind of Jojo reference through out the whole episode (I secretly wished it was).

The first episode looking like a story made for its format. Boring or not, the car accident was the most "logical" and simple death, I bet everyone else thought about it before it occured too.

5/5

I really don't see the problem with the real footage used here, it's well placed and adds to the scene.

This was fine. I liked the constant visual clashes used throughout the episode in order to better convey both the situation and mindset of the protagonist. Whether it be quickly flashing between two backgrounds near the end, the trippy background visuals when the guy learned he couldn't take the mask off, or the real life pair of eyes, which admittedly was a bit to jarring to be effective and at best was just kind of funny. Not sure I cared for giving us a live action version of the mask, it didn't seem to match the version we got in the show 100% but whatever.

Finally a good one again! The mask was actually creepy, and I like that they showed it in the real world at the end. The man's death just appeared like a strange accident caused by hallucinations. Was it really the mask, or was it his own psychosis?
