THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
This Issun Bosshi creature is pretty cocky as hell, probably just fed up getting chased all the time I guess. I wouldn't really say it was scary, sure the grotesque things happening to MC's body is kinda gross but outside of that, stupid creatures like these make my blood boil. None of the characters in this episode deserved that shit lmao

The episode I am the most unsure of so far. On the one hand, I really liked the focus on the characters and their relationship(I mean, his friend even came to the toilet when he saw Niimi wasn't feeling well). On the other hand, this episode wasn't scary or terrifying.
I also liked the moral of this one. If Niimi hadn't shut up and actually told his honest opinion to his friend, he could've most likely prevented this tragedy from happening to begin with.
Also, I like the idea that Issin Bosshi was just an innocent creature who constantly get's harassed by people who talk lies about him, and wanted to do something against it.

Not bad, glad they have one were it's kind of an actual horror type one. Where the friend either goes crazy or actually has that Duende inside him. Either way it's an actual horror killer style.

I like the mystery types like the ogre bean throwing or the thriller types like the fishing creature one. But some times you need a nice slasher style or killer creature one.

Vengeful Japanese Leprechaun ain't putting up with it anymore.

Thought it was kind of lame. "Death Day" and the one with the disembodied laughing were my favorites this season so far.

An interesting episode.

I guess that Issun Boshi was sick of that crap, though I can't help but think why was he running around if he didn't want to be pursuited after that? That's nonsense.

Although it wasn't scary at all, it really got my attention.

Issun Bosshi is a bizarre creature the episode was not sinister like the previous ones.

I feel like it would have been more interesting to see the MCs friend extremely bullied him to the point of breaking so we are left to wonder if Issun Boshi was real or if he had just gone crazy.

I also wish that it had stayed solely in his stomach, I love a good Mpreg scene

I had to question when Issun-Boshi was beating up Niimi from inside him if this series is trying to be a comedy now. I definitely get the sense that it isn't, that it's trying to still be creepy and unsettling, but this felt so cartoonish that I don't know how you could take it seriously.

Maybe the worst episode in this franchise. What a BS season.

Man all comments above looks like ya'll are some kind of retard, with this episode, it's obvious we are dealing with mental issues, the Issun Bosshi was obviously not real and that's why the hits by the creature were exaggerated like "being out of his body" for example people who do hard drugs feels that ants crawl under their skins, so the idiot friend told the guy about an imaginary creature, he stumped onto something and get the idea that it was the creature, so paranoia gets the better of the MC and because of jealousy ends up killing his friend and the girl he likes all because of paranoia and anxiety.

That's scary. Imagine getting your body beat up from the inside.
