Without delving into spoilers, with the introduction of this new student be prepared to see how Dark the horror of Dark Gathering can go. There's a reason why it's R rated and 24 eps. I know manga fans have been hyping up the series but truly it becomes alot more disturbing from here on out. Also if you think you've seen any of the most dangerous ghosts be prepared to see what the ghosts we're about to see are capable. I just hope they keep up the dark atmosphere they built up with decent animation and they put more of their budget in these later eps.

I highly doubt that the horror will be dark. I mean it's non-existent as of now so I just can't see this becoming scary even a little tiny bit.

 oh boi, I was about to make a similar post.

 guys, this fellow here is not giving false alarms. I can guarantee that if this episode adapts WELL the whole next 2-4 chapters with no CENSORED SCENES, you are in for a very horryfing experience.

 For me, these chapters cemented my love for the series, it convinced me I was in an anime with the horror tag. I wish I could give details, but I will wait for you guys on the other side.

It’s a blonde young anime girl.

As always, these kinds either drag the entire show to shit or make it twice as great.

There’s no in-between.

Just wait and see. Like I said there's a reason it's R rated. We haven't even scratched the surface of the actual horrors they've dealt with in these current episodes. I won't spoil, but genuinely we haven't even gotten to any of the actual ghosts and spirits. Thankfully, it's 25 eps so we'll get there eventually

Yeah everyone has different taste, but this anime has so many problems. When you strip the humor from Bocchi the Rock! you are still left with great animation, very well written and interesting characters, and an amazing plot. The same sadly can't be said for Dark Gathering. Like I said the horror of this anime is non-existent, but I don't even view that as a negative thing since there's not a single horror anime that's scary. The real problem I have with this anime is that it's just downright boring. The humor is bad, the characters are one dimensional, the plot is basic, and the animation is generic, bland, and flat.

I like the show at the moment, but in terms of HORROR, it's somewhere in the 00s with Higurashi and Shiki in my opinion. I don't know if that's considered too scary or not scary enough these days.

I'm an anime-only, so this comment has raised my expectations thrice as before.
The series was already feeling comfortable, where the main source of horror was 'a certain human' ;`)
Now, I hope the series goes as you say it goes.....

Don't bother to convince him. His hate on this anime is clearly biased for some reason. Just see the score he gave it and you would notice this guy doesn't even bother to give the series proper judgement. The level of negativity that displays is truly pityable.

I mean, can you really blame him? For one he has a tougher skin than most people. The other being, the start of the series though a tad creepy and mildly disturbing is just that. As the series dive deeper into the chapters, only then does the creepiness level and disturbance factor continue to elevate; however overall, if ghostly/spiritual horror doesn’t bring the emotion of fear to a person, they are just not phased by it no matter how much you try to convince them. There are different levels of horror, and mostly everyone would react to at least one or multiple. One I hate the most is on screen gore/senseless killings. Also, I’m not sure if I mentioned it here before, but the lighting of night exploring is too light. Needs to have a darker tone to it. I guess it doesn’t help they still put that purple aura in too?

All I’m going to say is if you don’t find the next ghost or first “main” ghost terrifying or second main, it won’t reel you in if you’re looking for a scare/looking for chills unless you’re already on board. At the end of the day, this is still also a category of shounen.

First of all my guy, comedy is subjective, so you can't really say it's bad, different strokes to different folks. Second, How are the characters one dimensional? They're pretty well written, maybe not written in the way you personally was expecting them to, but still decently written, also, How is the plot basic if we're not even in the "true" story yet and everything so far was set up stuff? And even if it was basic, why would that be a bad thing? Complicated plots can become easily convoluted and turn out boring too. As for the animation, it's clearly not the greatest but it's not bad either, they decided to go for a more 2000's feel for the adaptation and it's working.

As if, "great animation" is the only thing I agree, the rests are just as basic as this shit.

What I find funny are series like Konosuba and Love is War. Bocchi is boring af imo (I dislike all-girl anime anyway), but mostly I don’t appreciate the over exaggerated depiction of social anxiety. I get comedy is subjective, just like horror is, and Bocchi is just a massive pass for me

I mean, Konosuba and Kaguya are amongst the less-than-10 animes I’ve ever given a 10 to, so I don’t even disagree.

That said, Bocchi is still a 9.

Making fun of social anxiety is the shit.

It’s as scary as Demon Slayer or Jujutsu is if not a little more. More entertaining to me than anything else except we don’t have anyone who can wave swords around or have some form of super power. Just a tragic super smart 9 year old girl with a vengeance who uses ghosts against their will to do battle. Hehe. But I’m a supernatural/occult junkie.

@mBlazi Reading manga does nothing but excite me. I need to see the work being put into animation in order to garner a reaction. I have high hopes for the next few ghosts after H castle ruins. I remember some pretty serious gory moments in the previous two titles I mentioned that made me turn my head away. Yes, I’m up to date in the manga.
