THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The premise reminds me a bit of an old Yami Shibai episode presumably from season 4 specifically the bus episode although this one was set in broad daylight. It was definitely creepy but when they've already had the same idea before (and a better one at that) it makes it less enjoyable in my opinion. The main girl also deserved that.

The bit where they were singing was a bit creepy. Otherwise a bit meh episode.

...wut. They weren't "saved", they never entered the school to begin with. Message was a bait to lure MC into school, the classroom was fake.

I dint say they entered the school-> They arrived at school.
And yes they got saved since they dint go inside since the MC dint w8 for them and went alone and they just left = saved. On a horror universe they would have gone inside to look for him or w/e..... "Message was a bait to lure MC into school, the classroom was fake" idk what that has to do with anything i said.

Essa temporada está sendo um fiasco esperava muito mais dela infelizmente a nota por enquanto vai ficar baixa , já que as histórias estão muito desinteressantes ao contrário das temporadas anteriores.

Only in Japan!
Here in the US if a teacher said don't come to school, I can guarantee no kid would ever think of going to school anyways. And deff not for a fucking joke!

Yeah I get both of you, they weren't technically saved since they were never in trouble in the first place. But their friend died and they lived when they all should have probably died together meaning they were saved in a way.




One thing I noticed was the school had a clock on the top of it behind the two girls at the end of ep and it looked like it showed 12:20-12:25 but the first girl got up at 12:20 and then got the text from gyaru girl at 12:33........just if your gonna do these types of episodes or scary stories in general, be consistent.
Cause now was that just a lazy mistake or did the two girls end up going into the school at 12:20 after talking about what to do/thinking there tomboy friend was already gone, only to then have the tomboy girl actually show up and go in at 12:33 which would make sense of why her friends were there in class.
So the last scene was a flashback? Which I guess would make sense, because how could she receive a text luring her into the school from her friend's phone if her friend wasn't inside....so the two girls had to be inside and died first to be able to text first girl outside......I'm mean come on the ghosts couldn't lure her in with out gyarus phone. Soooooo all three girls did die in the end.

Just frustrating, just make the show in chronological order! Hell it would have been a better episode if you had just shown the gyaru and megane girl go in first and die only to then have the tomboy girl show up to get the text from now her ghost dead friends. Then you can just do the ending curtain call or have teacher leaving the school and locking there ghosts in or something.



Sorry, just was a shit episode that did everything in such a strange way and honestly just random as fuuuuuuuck!
Tied for worst episode this season along with episode 5.....hmm ep 5 is pretty bad tho....ugh!!!

A mildly interesting episode. It reminds me of the bus one from some seasons ago.

What I got out of this ep is that it's only about a 13 minute walk from her place to the school. That's pretty convenient.

I really like that actually! I hated how the girl got a text because being shown the ending it didn't make sense to me. Knowing things were made out of chronological order helps the story fit into place. I think they showed way too many clocks for this not to be intentional. It makes me wonder if there were cues to things in other episodes that I missed out on because I wasn't paying attention to the right things.

Man, the art for this episode was unbelievably nice! I really wish I understood the credits so I could find the artist and see if they have social media anywhere. Really, their art is stellar!

As for the episode itself... I liked it, but it isn’t my favorite or anything.

Was kinda thrown off by the overtly anime artstyle this time, don't think it really fits with Yami Shibai. This one was boring.

Did you not watch the full episode?
It's shown in the end that they were late, even more late than mc, the message MC got was from ghosts/spirits whatever. The ones you saw in the school were all ghosts or spirits or something related to that, her friends in school and at the end are not same

The school must have some kind of supernatural ritual where every kid is shown in the coffin, it must have been other girls turn before and they didn't go to school and survived but the dumb MC thought it would "cool" to go to school and went there when it was her turn and her soul got sucked in the coffin, she died because she was dumb, her friends weren't
