YS's quality and number of viewers have dwindled since some seasons ago, with some people saying this series should end as it lost its touch a long time ago. I say the same, and its score has constantly decreased in my MAL (though YS 4 was an 8/10 for me). Nonetheless I do plan to watch this, even if it is out of tradition now. I wouldn't really waste my time if ths ends up being a fiasco, as its length is only of 4 minutes. I just hope they give us some quality again that can amend for that Ninja Collection mess.

I’ll probably watch it after it finishes, but it’s mostly just cause it’s like 4 minutes out of my life.

Yeah just another time-killer to watch while taking a dump, short and can be good sometimes but also nothing too special so why not lol

Yes, I will. It's only 4 min/EP.

I only liked 1st, 4th and 5th season but this show always have a unique art style and stories and a banger ending theme.

Yeah but I'll wait until the series ends. This "horror" series is good for sleeping.

I definitely felt Yami Shibai was going downhill every single season for awhile, but season six is honestly my favourite from the series and season seven would be third. Though the first season is the only one that worked as a horror show, and it's my second favourite btw. So yeah, hopefully 8 is good too and the series isn't just starting another decline in quality every season.

That said, even if the show never stopped getting worse, it's four minutes and I've made it this far, I'm in for life at this point.

I just want them to keep the narrator and to get rid of monsters, yokais and gore elements. I'm gonna watch it either way

certainly. I just finished S7 yesterday and while the show wasn't a masterpiece, I enjoyed most of it and I'm glad it gets another season. it's also good to see that the narrator's back once again, I wasn't too fond of the kid or that other guy in S4.

Yes because it's short although I'm sure it's gonna suck. The novelty wore off in the first season.

While the quality definitely decreased over time (when the punchline for most stories is "but it wasn't just creepy, it was actually a ghost!", you've clearly ran out of ideas), the spooks can be creative sometimes, and it wouldn't cost me anything to watch it.

I'm sure I'll get to this, mainly because of the length. I have my main stuff to watch, but I also fit different anime based on if I can wash laundry, wash my masks, brush my teeth, and swish around mouthwash to it all, and the 4 minute episodes are good to stack two or three to rinsing my laundry.
I have a few other "laundry" anime that are more important for me to watch for now, but there aren't as many shorts out there as there are full length episodes, so I can deal with mediocrity.

I actually still enjoy this series a lot, the final episode of season 7 was easily my favourite episode in the entire series. I think the series is fun.

I don't know why I keep messing with this series. If it's a bad season, I just end up thinking, "That was WEAK". Yet if it end up actually being good then I can't sleep for a while. Like I can't even win with this series. Why do I keep doing this?

I mean yeah, Yami shibai was never consistent in the first place so you wouldn't really know what to expect each episode

Definitely! The stories have always been hit or miss for me, but watching a whole season takes under an hour.

I mean I watched 7 previous seasons, might as well watch this one too. It's not Supernatural or TBBT with 20-40 min episodes, I think I will find 4 minutes of time in my weekly schedule.

Yup, still hoping that it can be as good as season 1 again, and super short episodes.

Since it's just still frames and voice acting, they can probably make a season for $10, and most of that goes towards making the kickass ED.
