I mean, this wouldn't have so many seasons if it wasn't popular in Japan, now would it?
| @eze_tielve Well, I wouldn't be surprised if very simple animation also plays a big role in this. But 14 seasons, man? Their narrator will soon be in more anime than Conan, Ash and Luffy. And just think, this anime has already been around every year for 14 years. |

| @RobertBobert It also helps that it's very shortform episodic horror. Cut everything up into 5 minute chunks of dread and there's no struggle to come up with new content. |

| @BrainpanSonata If they actually use urban legends, it's amazing they still have the material. |

A good way to kill an hour and a half
| @yamiyugi101 I don't even think it reaches that runtime. I think they're all just under an hour. |
| Is the most consecutive seasons for an anime ever? Where it actually has the name "number" season. |
| Yeah I'm thinking Absolute Cinema is back on the menu. |
 |
| Oh my god, this is such exciting news. |
| AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH I hope more seasons keep coming I love this anime! kkkkkkk |
