| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Cool to see the show back. And right away, we get a creepy puppet. Not bad though. I really liked the idea of the show this way. |
 |
| Love this show so much! Good episode, definitely more sad than scary though. Poor Taro-chan. :( Still can't get over Zanbai from last season...haunts me. |
| So glad this is back. |
| "Hi! I'm Chucky! Wanna play?" Creepy as always... |
 |
| A good warm up, so excited to see more of it! |
| Yami Shibai came back!! Maybe doesn't have a scary feel but I like them x3 Miku Hatsune playing the ED is always good, but wasn't "creepy" like the first one. |
| Yay its back! ^^ Episode was okay, but the ED was interesting (story teller about to take his mask of? Maybe foreshadowing of him getting an episode??) |
| I've been waiting for this. Glad to see Yami Shibai back. Time to be totally creeped out again. And I don't care what anyone says. Dummies are scary. No matter what! |
| My signature is lame... |
| Okay good no screamers this time! Welcome back for another season of spooky, Yami Shibai. x) |
| holly shiet! Its Yamishibai no jikan dayo~ i really miss this show XD episode 1 is about Taro-chan, a cursed puppet i was expecting some tragic ending like some episode in first season, but it was rather funny instead i feel goosebumps at the beginning tho 8'D |
ThousandEyes said: I really liked how the story was all connected and that Taro was really the ghost of a bike accident victim. Interesting. Nice theory I also saw some minor improvement from the first season, like the intro. But, overall creepy as always. |
 |
| I'm kind of surprised at how excited I am that this show is returning for the Summer |
| I am SO excited for this, though I miss the 1st ED, it was amazing and too short lived! |

| IT HURT, IT HURT. I missed my good scares watching this show. It was a great first episode, and yeah as others said above I liked how the story and Taro were linked to eachother. |
 |
| I was expecting Taro to stand up at the end there. |
 |
| The kids are not on swings anymore, they're in the amusement park! Well, other than that, I liked the fact that the story & taro were linked. |
 |
| That ED is actually creepier than the stories. Sent with Mal Updater |
 |
| ITS BACK! And it's creepy once again ahhhhh haha :D |
| Its back finally ! And a really werid episode , wonder whats wrong with Taro Dx |
| That's one of the reasons i don't like puppets ... |

| Good to see you again, Yami Shibai. Not the scariest ep, but it was interesting :) |
| It felt a bit weaker then S1, but still a great new start for the second season for me. Finally good horror in anime form again. |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| Watched the first season yesterday, so I could watch this one as it airs. I wouldn't say S2 is weaker yet - even S1 had weak episodes. This one was... strange, rather than creepy. The way the doll was moving at the end was even a bit funny to me. Certainly not a bad anime though! |
| I still need to watch the first season but I'm looking forward to this. Surprised there seem to be a handful of people watching this. First episode was neat, that crazy puppet. |
| just watched the first season and while i think it had some creepy episodes, it was not scary or anything but i enjoy the atmosphere and art style, so of course i also have to watch the second season. Dolls and puppets o.o so damn creepy and his "cracky" wood teeth. |
| They upped the production value a tiny bit. Good episode, while creepy it wasn't that violent or anything. |
 |
| not as scary as some of the stuff from s1 but was a good start, wish they had more than 1 story per episode though |
| "Why the hell is it so easy to make people mad, and so difficult to make them smile?" -Kurosawa Dono |
| That was damn scary, I was expecting the puppet to stand up by itself at the end to add even more horror but damn... |
 |
| Puppets always creeped me out...... ~__~ Ep 1 from S1 is still haunting me. |
 |
| Expected it to be scarier than first season, but it wasn't. Hoping the coming episodes are better. |

| Glad to see this show is back, we definitely need more good horror series. |
| That was creepy but not that much to make me afraid ;D My bike went, "bang! laughing laughing The care went, "bang!" clapping clapping That was creepy, man! xD |
 |
| With all the Ventriloquist horror stories ranging from Twilight Zone to Goosebumps to Bad B-movie Horrors, this is the weakest and most boring out of all of the episodes. Plus, this isn't really a "Japanese Horror Story" as much as a universal horror story. It can only get better after that. |
| Nice to see Yami Shibai back :-). I've never been good with puppets and the like lol. Wonder if they'll have a creepy clown episode too... Be interesting if we get an ep about the story teller. He seems like an urban legend or something himself. Might see his face going by the ending. If he is just a normal guy, then I'd be surprised :-o. |
| This was the less interesting episode of Yami Shibai as a whole, imo. It wasn't creepy or anything. But nevermind, I'm expecting greatness from this show. |
| weird episode though i kinda felt sorry for that doll at the end of episode and great ED! those masks were scarier than the episode itself and the song is really catchy:) |
 |
| Yes! It's back! The first episode wasn't so scary but it's a good way to start the new season. I liked the story nevertheless. |
 |
| So happy to see this show back! Not so happy with this first ep, though. It was really weak in comparison to last season. I remember some eps last season gave me goosebumps and were really freaky but this one was so generic... I hope it was just a flop. |
| Real interesting show. This is the way to do low budget and still get things right. Gonna check out the first season now. |

| Hope the next episodes are better, this one wasn't either scary or creepy. But it seems their budget is a bit higher this season, no? |

fishergirl16 said: Same. This and the episode with the video tape plus the one in the elevator were definitely the scariest.Still can't get over Zanbai from last season...haunts me. |
| Time is money, but money won't turn back the clock. |
| Eh. Nothing scary about this episode imo. Still.... I can't say I'm not relieved. No creepy videotapes, zanbais or dancing this time around. Well, let me push my luck even further and see whats up next time. |
| Welcome to club: Anime that Should Continue http://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=37045 |
| Not scary as i thought but guess it's still enjoyable~ 3/5 |
 |
| I'm glad the show is back and I hope for some scarier episodes, since this one was pretty lame when it comes to that... v____v |
