Well, this was unintentionally funny for me when the alien and his ship popped up. I like the art style and I guess the inside of the spaceship was kind of creepy. I'll continue watching this and hopefully I'll get a good laugh or two.

I really like the art style but this is still not even close to Yamishibai 1.

Also I laughed pretty hard when the spaceship appeared. This one was a miss but it has potential, keeping it for a couple more episodes.

I liked the narration. However the animation was not what i expected, nor did i find it the least bit scary. The biggest mystery is that I found it entertaining, and have no clue why.

Nothing special at all and not the least bit scary, but shouldn't expect much for a short will give it a couple more episodes and see how it goes

I liked it, it seems like it's starting not really scary to get us used to the art and the atmosphere of it all. It's probably going to get creepier later.

Ewwww, that disgusting hand is so...crosty ewwww D:
This is the Yami Shibai Files, basically XD I think the art style was kinda off and the voice acting too, buuuut, only four minutes, so why not.

This was completely disappointing imo. It didn't really have a buildup and the animation style takes the scare away completely.

"UFOs, cryptids, curses, ancient civilizations, supernatural powers, spiritual experiences, bizarre cases, different dimensions, and urban legends, told in a picture show style"

Totally didn't read the entire summary, I was expecting something different

Animation was... more or less nonexistent, but yeah the characters look really nice and detailed. It felt more like one of those "motion comics" to be honest.

As for the story.... umm yeah so pretty much a standard alien story. Wife going out every night getting the foreign dick lol.

I did not consider it bad or good even though I do not like the subject of UFOs. The animation was a surprise.
The story was good but not scary. :/

Don't really know how to feel about this show so far. I don't mind the motion comic style animation, but this first story was pretty bland. I dig the art style and sound direction, will definitely stick with it for a while and hope that it improves.

Kinda liked it up until the spaceship where it changed from creepy and mysterious to something a bit more cliche I suppose.

The story look like they might be better than the ones in Yami Shibai. But, this animation is just bad. I get what they're going for, it's like you're looking at an old picture book but it's painful to look at in animation form. Still I'll continue watching it just for fun. Not doing much else on a Sunday.

Narrator was good, though the voice acting was meh.

The art style is pretty cool but the story din't have that much impact on me.

Well... I wasn't scared, it's kind of funny. The art is really good. ALIENS.
Every mystery novel I ever read, the great detective was such an arrogant fuck you could replace 70% of his dialogue with 'Are you stupid?' and the conversation would still make sense.

At first I thought it would be like Yamishibai and then I got Alien NTR followed by some low tech X-Files.

I dig the narrators voice though, and the sketchy art fits the atmosphere, so I'll watch a bit more.

Upset that the animation is just basically cardboard cut-outs moving along on lolly-pop sticks. Ah well.
I found it interesting regardless.
I rather enjoy short horror/sci-fi genre stories.
Can see this series having a low score in the long run, but I think it's pretty average. Does what it is set out to do.

Mediocre start. As some others it was more funny than scary. I did like the art used.

The narrator did a good job too. But the voice acting of the husband didn't sound all that great? Maybe that's just me. Also, the constant moaning/panting from the wife felt kind of awkward to me as well.

The atmosphere was ok, but not really scary. Liked the old school style though.
I'm curious to see how this will develop.

I don't know why but I find the art style to be quite fascinating. I don't know how much of 'horror' the story would actually turn out to be but perhaps it'll work better as a mystery.

It lacks the suspense of Yami Shibai and the decent storyline of Kagewani. All in all, this is trash.

The art was very good but I didn't like the live intro. I didn't expect at all that the first episode would be aliens story.

The artstyle was pretty nice to look at. Aside from that nothing really kept me interested though.
Nevertheless I will probably give the next few episodes a shot, if only to see more of the artwork.

I'll watch it simply for it's uniqueness and the fact it has promise, but I'm really not expecting much more than what we got this episode.
