Welp another creepy episode.

I mean, when you see the audience as skeletons, then there's something wrong. Not that should be surprising anyways but the moment he got involved with that guy, he was doomed the moment he told the lie.

Last year in English we had to do all sorts of studies on plagiarism. Our teacher should have just made us watch this. If you plagiarize, skeletons will come up from hell and drag you into the pits of no return.

I've heard of harsh penalties for plagiarism, but this take the cake.

The moral of this episode: The more you plagiarize, the stronger the punishment will be.

Nice moral against plagiarism, but the story would have been creepier if they hadn't shown as much. Maybe if the end had come right after the curtain went up and we just heard some screaming instead of the giant skeleton hands coming out. This season keeps trying to show more of the horror, and I think that's why so many of us aren't liking it as well. The first season left things more to our imaginations, with the narrator cutting things off right before something terrible happened, and that worked better.

Never lie, never.

Btw, that reminded me of JoJo Part 4. Probably the concept comes from the same tale.

You're talking like almost every episode didn't have something to do with morals.

There was almost no moral in the first season. It was random niggahs getting fucked by random shit and it was perfect.

I'm assuming all of them did the same thing as Haga. Probably he became a skeleton too.

Well he got what was coming to him haha but it was a bit overblown... actually when he first went out onto the stage and there were all those somber-looking people I thought maybe the novel was about a murder/massacre (like, one that had actually taken place IRL and the murderer wrote about it) and they were the families of the victims or something. I was a little off base :p

This really reiterizes the saying "Liars go to hell" on another level. His pitiful sorrys were convincing enough for me ta feel sorry for him as he gets dragged back. They should've shown this in school.

I like the moral-insert (considering many other episodes were lame-ass jump-scares involving cliched pale-faced women with long hair), but the ending is just so poorly executed. The skeletons are so goofy, and the ending feels so vague and confusing. Why was he dragged away? Was the novel written by someone meant to be taken into Hell, and this poor schmuck just takes his place? The open ending just feels so unsatisfying.

Prepare for skeletal vibe check you filthy liar!
This season looks really bad. Well at least all that absurdity and senselessness is really laughable.
I'm not sure if I want to watch other seasons anymore.
