This episode of Yami Shibai is really good and i just love the series in general because of the short ghost japanese stories.

It was.... A bad episode but considering the content of the episodes the last few series, this one was actually somewhat better.

There was a specific scene which was pretty good.
Was that scene a reference to Gateway to the underworld?

This one's not really scary, but it's a good allegory on the Japanese work life and probably the American one too. So good meaning and better than the last two episodes.

I feel like it was pretty obvious what happened to the girl, we didn't need an even shorter version at the end with a guy

Another pretty boring episode IMO

Japanese people goes to desert and die when they work to much I guess

This feels more like an episode out of season two, in that there's nothing here that's scary but at least there's a message/allegory to this one. That doesn't really make it much better in my estimation, this isn't that cleverly laid out and repeating with the guy at the end was rather unnecessary, but the work culture of Japan is certainly worthy of scrutinizing.

Also felt the limited animation hindered this one when she was getting tsumuni'd by the sand, it just look pretty goofy.

So far I'm a huge fan of Yami Shibai and never complain about any episode but this one, I hate it, just an allegory of Japanese workaholic culture, never like and understand people who work till death and don't have any sympathy for them.

I think season 3 is the worst of Yami Shibai, and even I didn't hate those episodes as much as this one.

I always felt the same about High School on Mondays
