| The simultaneous top and bottom subtitles kinda ruined this for me. Creating a disorienting feel is certainly the point of these, but all it makes me do is replay the scenes immediately, sapping the story of any ability to build tension, because if I don't, I just feel like I'm missing a ton of relevant context. Youta's thoughts and the scene they played over like the argument, both felt relevant. I don't mind the ending being vague, and I think it's a novel concept placing this so thoroughly within Youta's mind. Because it does a good job making you doubt whether the mom's actually friends with a demon or if that's just his childlike interpretation of the events. The idea that the ending could lack the supernatural element and he just pelted them with enough beans til they fell out the window and died, I can see that as being valid but it's not what I came up with. And it honestly would feel almost looney tunes-esque in death so if that's what they were intended, I'm glad they left it open. I do prefer the idea that they were all demons, that's why the mom missed the bean throwing festival, she couldn't risk it. And that's why the kid touch his forehead, feeling the horns he has budding, something he earlier stated as proof of a demon. |
| Nothing supernatural here... just a kid trying to cope with his mom having an affair by rationalizing it as something really bad only demons are capable off. |

| All that dialogue and the simultaneous top and bottom subtitles ruined the whole episode. I couldn't concentrate at all. |
 |
| Maaan they really should have told their kid they were a family of demons. Thats awful, he accidentally banished them... |
 |
| So he is a demon, and throwing beans like that at her mom and that other guy made them disappear. |

| I usually wait till the end of these Yamishibai seasons to make a post, but man this one was such a clusterfuck thanks to the inner monologues and what was being said outside the boy’s thoughts happening at the same time, it was tough trying to pause and read both top and bottom subtitles, I can’t imagine that was easy to understand in Japanese either. I think the story to this one was interesting and a bit of a head scratcher near the end, I mean clearly the mom was seeing someone new and the boy saw him as a demon, but what happened to them at the end? I think what someone said about them falling out of the window is a good theory, or maybe they actually got banished like demons, who really knows lol, but man it’s a shame this one was hurt by the overlapping dialogue, otherwise it’s a good one. |
