| I think it would be more interesting if they linked the boxes in the fridge to the boxes delivered to the guy in the first episode. This season was underwhelming unfortunately. Most of the content was poorly written, however I liked episodes 5, 7 and 9. |

| Refrigerator-kun is full again, happy ending. |

| This season was bad as fuck. Other season all had episodes that i found good, but this season had at best some passable episodes. The only i liked more was the brother otaku episode and this was more because i liked the brother. I didn't liked any other episode. |
I despise woke people. |
| And thus season seven comes to a close, with what is probably the best episode of the season. Framing the story from the perspective of a refrigerator, and a wholesome one that doesn't understand what's going on, was such a novel and fun concept for an episode. The happy upbeat music during the beginning of the episode is so unlike anything in Yami Shibai that I can't help but love it. It seems I've come to a different interpretation of the events then most people did, at least based on the comments. The beginning of the episode had Refrigerator explain that they were all eating happily but that it didn't last long and soon the fighting between them started. So what changed? I suspect the youngest's death. He was alive during the opening monologue, something must've happened that cost him his life, and this is what tore the family apart and eventually caused them to murder the father and pack him up. That's why the others aged and the kid remained the same, because his ghost haunted the residence after his passing. That's how I extrapolated the events, it seems to make the most sense to me. I like that there are episodes like this that require thought, that have subtlety to them. As for the season overall, meh it was fine. I do agree with the consensus that Yami Shibai season 1 was the only one really capable of consistently building up tension and being "scary", albeit the constant jump scare endings annoyed me but I'm not really bothered by the lack of creepiness to it. Especially since this seasons seemed more incline to indulge in wackiness, with this episode having a refrigerator main character, the episode with the otaku under his sister's bed, and while maybe unintentional, the episode with the next door ghost neighbor who just wants them to be quiet. Maybe I'm just worn down and less critical, but this is probably my third favourite season after six and one. Don't get me wrong, there were definitely stinkers. Episode 2 was awful and Episode 10 was so dull I couldn't even muster a comment on it. But I really liked the finale and episode 9. I was also a fan of 1, 3, 7, and 11 to various degrees. That's about half the season, which isn't bad. That's definitely a higher amount of episodes I liked than most seasons, even if most of them aren't to the quality of the top stuff in some of the other seasons (like 5). 5/10. |

| This season was a hit-or-miss as usual but some episodes were actually pretty enjoyable. Not very scary but it managed to have me feel something else for a bit in a handful of them. |
 |
| Ok, This was REALLY creepy. I am surprised they changed the format a bit in the very last episode (having the refrigerator narrate throughout the whole episode) but it worked so no complaints from me. There was also a twist, as I thought they killed the father but it turns out they killed the little brother (although I wonder why? unlike the father no problems were shown with him). This was a very good finale to a very good season. hope we get Season 8 soon :). |
| This was a weak season again. It's truly a shame because season 6 was so good. |
 |
| Damn, that was a good one. At least they wrapped up this season with a good episode. I presume the little brother had died someway? I don't think he was the one they killed. That much meat won't come from a small child. I think they killed the father and were cannibalizing him. I think because of the poor family income they had to resort to this. The way they told this through a refrigerator was a pretty unique approach. Overall this season was very disappointing with only a few good moments. 4/10 imo |

Seems like they killed the dad. Not sure what the boy's connection was to all this.
Hoping for another season. This show is easy to watch with its short length and it's always interesting to see what new story they'll do.

| @5layer Hope you are ok man, you haven't logged in in 5 years after all :(. and it did receive another season btw. |
| This was quite the unique final episode, getting the perspective of not one of the characters but the refrigerator was pretty cool, almost made me wonder if this was supposed to be Yamishibai when the episode first started lol, but it quickly got upsetting (and real) but then it went to true horror at the end, and I gotta admit the story is a bit of a head scratcher. What I got from it is that something happened to the youngest child and caused the family to drift apart, and what happened to that kid was caused by the dad and that’s why we don’t see him at the end, he’s probably all those packs of meat lol. Poor refrigerator tho, lad had no idea the whole time, he was just happy to see them all together at the end. I knocked this season out in just two days, might be a new record for me on one of these, it’s possible I’ve done it before tho and just don’t remember. And I’d say this was a pretty strong season, but good lord people from Summer 2019 were absolutely ruthless in shitting on it, what’s the reason for going so hard on a little series of shorts like this lol, I don’t get it. But besides that, yeah this was a fun one, like always there were some very good episodes but along with them were some that either weren’t good or were just plain goofy and entertaining for different reasons, but that also adds to the variety so I can’t complain there too much, I also liked the red door intro a lot, reminded me of “Insidious”. My favorite episodes for this season were “Public Phone”, “The Woman in the Elevator”, “Little Sister’s Room”, and “Refrigerator”. I was looking for a theme for this season like some of the others have had, but I didn’t really get a clear one besides maybe rooms or parts of the house, several episodes were focused on one room so it’s possible, just not all episodes did. Now the ED tho, that was one of the bests of the whole series, the visuals were cool and the song was so good despite just being 30 seconds, it fit the spooky vibe too, I’m definitely looking that one up to hear the whole thing. Also, wow I really did just revisit Summer 2019 for a third time this month lol, don’t know how that happened. |
