| Never ending series |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| Honestly, after about 2 or 3 seasons, the show got pretty boring. Although for some reason I'm still watching this lol. |
 |
| I'm still down for more despite it not being what it once was. |
| Let's hope that we will also get 10th season after this. |
 |
| Amazing stuff, lets hope it will be a good season. |
 |
| A ninth series huh? To be expected really. Though each series i find to be either a hit or a miss. Sometimes it can be a really good watch. So i'm looking forward to what this has in store. |
| The really scary thing is how this series just won't die. It's literally like a zombie. |
| My signature is lame... |
| If this one doesn’t get a 10th season at this point I’ll be mad |
| This is a series I will always turn up for, even if the quality sometimes wavers. So long we we never get the terrible Season 4 narrated style again I will be happy. |
 "They escaped the weight of darkness, to forge a path into the marrow of the spirit. They chose to drown in a deeper vacancy, an emptiness that quells the null, a pool for the forgotten..." |
| Oh wow. Well I guess I can't be surprised considering how many previous seasons there are but congrats to the yami shibai fans |
 |
| Will I watch this? Yes. Will I get scared? No, the show has never been scary but I keep watching. |
| I swear, if this ends up having more seasons than Teekyuu... |

| Have any of these even been good outside the first one? |

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 |
| Wtf? This has the same number of seasons as Teekyuu. |
 |
| I wish Teekyuu would get more seasons than Yami Shibai at this point, the series has just gone downhill lately. Maybe this one will be better though, who knows. |
     |
| Reading "Ninth Season" made me outright laugh. |
