| The couple was just unlucky to have moved to such an unusual village. As the village head said, those "bringer drums" were guides to the new folks moving in with a prayer that they'll bring good things their way. I guess they didn't bring anything good with them at all, and so paid the price. Edit: Re-watched and re-evaluated. This season lacked decent stories and the ominous atmosphere S1 had. The narrator's greeting is still the best thing about Yami Shibai though. |

| Eh, it wasn't scary imo (and I'm really a scaredy cat, the first season made me jump a lot) I feel like the anime lost its touch. It was weird rather than scary, some episodes had potential, but looking at it now- I can't really name one that's left an impression on me. |

| Weirdest.Shit.Ever. A solid 5 for this series. A huge letdown. |
| I think even cliché Jump scares would have been better for this season. Overall a big letdown compared with the first season 4/10. |
 |
| pretty MEH compared to first season which was pretty good. 5/10 |
| A good build up with an extremely weak, disappointing ending. Half of the Yami Shibai stories suffer from the lack of details. not the other way round. Throwing creepy/weird stuff together and not explaining things doesn't make things scary, it's just confusing. BlackenedGirl said: I can't really name one that's left an impression on me. The one that I can think of the top of my head that I liked was the one with the elevator and the dad who gets eternally trapped inside the empty mall. That one was scary and made sense: he wasn't paying enough attention to his family and had the misfortune of having a ghost/demon/entity hear his "wish." That one was a good example of just explaining enough that things made sense for why and what was happening. But I agree that most of them weren't memorable, but at least had a few that were good. 2nd season is just forgettable all around. |

The first season made good use of the unexplainable stories - they left some place for imagination, so it was pretty neat. This season, however, was just as you say, confusing, since the stories weren't that scary- they were plainly weird. I'm not sure why you bring up a story from the first season, tho (most of the stories there were hella creepy, but yes, the elevator is the second best for me, after the zanbai one). It only serves as example to how this season fails in making the episodes memorable. |
| The moral of this season... Apparently don't move to the countryside. Dammit I"m moving to the countryside in a couple months... Oh well |
| Nothing special. A nice watch, overall. |
 |
| This season didn't really reach the heights of last season... I still remember Zanbai and that guy who was stuck in the department store elevator...they haunt my sleep often! Haha, I totally related with the wife this episode though. I'm always the last one to fall asleep, which can get scary at times. The stories this time around were more weird than actually scary. It wasn't bad, per se, but I can't rate it as highly. 6/10 |
| I didn't really get this one... oh well. |
| The last few episodes were dissapointing. Not as good as season 1. Freaking loved the ED though. |
| This season of Yami Shibai had a lot of potential for jump scares in obvious places but... nuttin. Pretty average compared to S1. Tho this episode was pretty decent lolll His face haha 5/10 overall. |
| Season 1 was much much better. This one is easily forgettable. Decent watch overall. 4/10 |
 |
| Season 1 was better, a lot of these just felt meh. |
 |
| Wow that's it -_- I agree with you all season 1 is much better. |
 |
| The baby cries was spooky. I liked some particular episodes this season :D |
 |
| Did it end here? It didn't feel like an ending... unless they intend to make a third season, then they should have used the last episode to show the story teller's face. Besides, it wasn't really scary, just weird. |
| What a silly baby scream. 5/10 |
 |
| this was maybe the worst episode yet. there was no atmosphere, no build up, not even a big scare. the 1st yami shibai season was much better than this (which isnt hard to accomlish). sadly, 4/10 overall. |
| This series can be summed up in one word. Disappointing. 4/10 |
 |
| 6/10 for this season this episode and the previous were pretty scary |
| Disappointing season. |
 |
| The episode was ok, I was waiting for something to happen, nothing did. This entire season has been this way, the only good thing about it is the ED XD Overall score: 4.5/10 |
| Aaaaaaand... this was officially a bad season. Most of it was so predictable that was the problem along with pointless "trolling" stories. 9 was good tough. |
| Open to chat about any storytelling related subject as long as it's clever and respectful. Myanimelist |

It only serves as example to how this season fails in making the episodes memorable. Confusing for sure. This season seemed to feature stories with lessons to learn, and maybe even allowed room for us viewers to draw our own conclusions, which may strike a conversation in forums. That's fine and all, but then the ones that should've been scary weren't. If I had to choose one; then WALL WOMAN was the most suspenseful and had me holding my breath. Last season, CONTRADICTION was the one story that scared me the most. I rated this episode as I Hated It! I give this 2nd Season of Yamishibai a straight 5. |
BlackenedGirl said: I'm not sure why you bring up a story from the first season, tho ...What? I just explained it, and you did too, what do you mean? Yami Shibai is all about, like you said, unexplainable stories. They rarely bother to give us details, which like I said, is actually a detriment, not a good thing. This happens in the first season too, but the reason why the elevator and the zanbai ones work is because they DO give some explanation or have a good setting and build up. Both seasons have the same premise, season one is better because they actually put some effort in setting up for the scare or explaining what's going on in most episodes, and it's perfectly valid to use an episode of season 1 to explain why season 2 is inferior. |
| The first season made me a little scared to be alone in the house. The Wall Woman episode of this season did so as well, but everything else in this season just-- I forgot what even happened in all the episodes. I felt safe with season two because I knew nothing would happen. Nothing really happened that would have me peeking around walls in this last episode either. |
| Yeah, just like everyone said, the first season was a lot better. Anyway, it was kind of scary sometimes, and I really like this kind of art and storytelling so 7/10. |
 |
| 5/10, a huge step down from the previous season in terms of frights and stories. A lot of hits and miss, mostly miss... |
| Powerful eyebrows. |
| 5/10, most episodes are confusing or gross, and the scary ones lack the creepiness of last season's. |
 |
| This episode was kinda creepy. But why was he possessed? |

LastChapter said: I found season one to be more creepy, but the storytelling for this season was better. I guess I should watch the first season. Since Yami Shibai is episodic, I didn't watch the first season beforehand. |
| Weird for sure, in general quite interesting last episode! All in all this season sure was spookah in a way as well but in general it was just funny to watch! |
 |
| mfw somebody wakes me from my sleep. S1 was better. |
 |
| I am probably the weird one here, but this episode actually gave me the biggest scare out of all 26 episodes. I was expecting the thing to come from the window, but never considered the possibility of it being inside her husband. It should have been obvious yet... 6/10. Same as S1. |
 |
| funny little show. Had some interesting stories, but horror'wise it was funny, had few good chuckles. |
 |
| this episode was horrible, it almost had a creepy feeling but then they ruin it with that laughable pay off This whole season sucked save for the capsule episode. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| 7/10 I appreciate the stories. The chief guy doesn't like city folks, so let a ghost possess/make everyone into babies again. Hence the "think of it as your birth place". |
 |
| This season felt pathetic really. I laughed more than I got scared. Hopefully the third season is better. 2/5 |
 |
| this is the first episode of tihs series that left me saying "What?!" by the end since it felt like it was such an abrupt end with like, no relation to the buildup or stuff -w-' last episode- huge disappointment .w. |
 I like to comment Episodes as i Watch them. |
