Seriously, that guy should of taken notice of the noise but reacted differently...especially since it's a baby.

Sigh, karma bites back.

A bit of tension was built up, but as always not properly executed.

Why can't it be simple like the first season. It's trying too hard in being complex that it's failing because of time constaints

The first actually disturbing episode in a while.
There's still hope for a decent finale, but who knows.

I feel like a lot of this season's episodes are more gross than creepy.

Can someone explain what happened to the guy? I still don't understand what happened to him.
I love Minimalist Arts. Such Simplicity, yet hold so much Meanings to me.

He was just going nuts, getting pissed of everything and curse everyone. That has got to make you go bad in the end.

If you start seeing lots of bugs call pest control, problem solve and get some air man staying coop in a room is not healthy~

So far this was the best episode imo.
And no frigging things to screw everything
up at the very end as in previous episodes.
Splendid. :)

I agree. This short format doesn't work for these types of stories. More development is needed.

This seems like a bite off of The Metamorphosis; an old tale I read ages ago in elementary school. Since it's a required read in American schools, I'm assuming most of us have heard of it. It's a pretty amazing story.

Everything that was bugging him got under his skin so he became infested with bugs. Makes sense at least in english.

I've decided no to kill any more bugs lol. But, seriously, it wasn't scary or creepy to say the least.

Yeah, in English, the whole episode is actually a pretty clever pun. I wonder if the same pun works in Japanese, or if it's just a coincidence?

This was my favorite one of the season. The doll one comes in close second. But the noises and overall bug thing freaked me out. 5/5 for this episode.

Loved this episode. I particularly like how it begins with minor everyday annoyances and accelerates to the point where his resistance crumbles. The mosquito coils along with poor ventilation cause him to lose his grip on reality and eventually he dies of poisoning, all this he could have avoided if he had dealt with his problems instead of bitching about them.

This reminded me of the first episode of Shiki. If it weren't for vampires, a plot like this could work in that episode of that anime.

my guess; guy managed to kill himself with too much incense and smoke, the insects he saw on his body was either because he was rotting away while still alive or because he had died already and was just a 'ghost' still writing in his journal,
then he eventually died ;3

Everything bugged him out so much and got under his skin that those metaphorical bugs decided to materialize themselves inside him. A very ironic and punny death lol

What.... the .... fuck.... was happening in this episode? writing a journal how bugs are eating you inside? how about seeking some help? Or was it his dellusions and him becoming insane? Anyway it was a pretty boring episode especially first 2 minutes of a guy just writing in a journal

I like it. These episodes are getting more creative as the series goes on. Much more interesting than those boring dolls at the beginning anyway.
