Dark Gathering Episode 11 Discussion

@sasahara_n Yea both shows have that contrast of silly humor and scary moments with Moe style characters. I think once The group in DG get into a situation where they don't come out 100% victorious is where the show can truly be taken serious as a horror as its only true horror if bad things happen to important characters that stick for the rest of the series and actually changes them for better or worse.

@ToMuchMayo Wait for the next 2 big arcs.

I wonder when will we get a new OP. I really like this one though (the full version especially).
7:15 BRO. Damn, this one got me lol. This is the first jumpscare so far right?

9:18 安土桃山時代 (Azuchi–Momoyama jidai) - The Azuchi–Momoyama period was the final phase of the Sengoku period in Japanese history from 1568 to 1600.
This story sound like something that would actually happen irl.

This was the scariest episode by far damn. I actually got chills. I love it.
And I'm still wondering about this spirit in the ED. When will we see them?

^ Imagine thinking horror needs to be one note where people kill each other in gruesome ways. There is a spectrum of horror.

@Shiyodoge yeah, my favorite is H.P. Lovecraft and most of that has nothing to do with disemboweling people. like, to the other guy i say, "read more books".

One of the best episodes in horror anime if not all of anime I have ever seen, no doubt

where is Eiko and her stalking tendencies? can´t wait for her to save the day. we all know Yaoyi is not dead, the badass girl!!!
also manga readers were not lying when they said more things are coming. I like the ghost stories. this one was horribly sad.

This—is getting kind of boring. Now that there's more of an established arc to what's going on, it's been nonstop action, and what made the earlier episodes good, the people and their interactions and motives, is gone. I do appreciate that Dark Gathering has made its spirits fairly unpredictable, but this kind of action isn't enough to sustain a show by itself. This particular episode needed to dwell more on Yayoi and Keitaro's relationship; it should've had them talk and argue more, not just yoink Yayoi away. Though we as the audience know they'll get through it, Keitaro does not (even if Yayoi does); Yayoi was already reckless to exhaust Keitaro having him bike them for hours to confront a spirit, and it was really Yayoi's fault they were separated. All the episode needed to do was have Keitaro complain to her for a couple minutes that this wasn't the best way to go about things; then that would have foregrounded their relationship. Instead we keep getting these too-long recaps at the beginning.

Eiko knows: everything goes to shit without her.
