| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Yay for Ghost Stories. I would have loved to have watched a whole version of 100 Tales of Horror, but the 4 stories in this episode were all interesting with Himawari's being the best. Creepiest episode yet. |
| I love ghost stories too. Kind of weird ending though. |

StabbyPWNS said: It's interesting how Yuuko pretty much gathered the crew just to get the message through Watanaki's head that he "needs" Doumeki. Up to now I was wondering why Yuuko never truly fullfilled her side of the deal, but she actually was fullfilling it (she tried to get Watanaki to befriend Doumeki several times already).Ohhh me loved this episode!!!! It was even kinda scary o_o... I wish we got to hear the end of Watanuki's story though ^^" |
 |
| Omg its 3 in the morning now and im fucking scared!!!!!! I dont know how im gonna sleep:S |
 |
| i'm confused, so they didn't have to tell 100 stories? |

| That was a creepy episode, meeting the crossroad man again... |
 |
| wow, lamplight. i had trouble sleeping last night. watanuki's story was ridiculously scary......the 3rd encounter with that strange, tall man was nuts! i had visions of that man's eyes in my head all night long. i'm re-watching it right now to conquer my fear of him!! |
| Ghost stories in the company of Yuuko!!!! Is the BEST!!! Beauty of Anime! :) |
 |
| Himawari's story was great, I wish we could of heard one from Yokko, and what else happened that day to Watanuki, very good episode, lots of questions. |
| My anime list |
| Himawari's story was definitely the best, it creeped me out at the end. I really would have liked to have heard a story from Yokko though. Best episode so far for me! |
| Very creepy!! I'm dying to know what role Himawari really plays... I honestly have no suspicions yet, and I've been curious since the water spirit brought it up.. |
| snif snif, i'm scared of ghost stories, so i wa forced to not watch it on fullscreen >< nice episode but creepy! :S |
| Oh kleeny said: snif snif, i'm scared of ghost stories, so i wa forced to not watch it on fullscreen >< nice episode but creepy! :S Oh no, it's night here and I just watched it fullscreen T.T I hope I can sleep tonight >.> Haven't watched anything this creepy since Mononoke |
 |
| yay i love ghost stories at night. i like how the series accomplishes to deliver an intense eerie feeling in every episode. with this one being one of the best. |
aero said: That was a creepy episode, meeting the crossroad man again... For some reason, that story did catch my attention the most. Really freaky and maybe we'll get lucky and get some closure on it in the future episodes. |

sugarplumfairy said: Poor thing.... Hehehehe*shivers and becomes scared as shes the only one in the house at the moment* Oh such an amazing chapter... I really loved the stories... and the settings and everything... so after all, all the stuff Yuuko did for the set up were just for the sake to make Watanuki open his eyes about his friends... For Doumeki and Himawari... He has to realize the roles they have in his life... now and later on... I still want to know what Himawai is for Watanuki... Doumeki is his protector... but Himawari... All the Ghost stories were amazing... I dun get why Himawari was so scared of Doumeki's story.... it was... yeh scary... yet.... I find Watanuki's more scary than Doumeki's... and Himawari's was the best imo... Oh and Yuuko... ohohohoh so sexy... so mysterious... so wise... Oh Yuuko be my wifuuu!!! Signs, Green |

| I thought this episode was the best yet.. but I guess I say that for every episode. It's getting really good. I liked the last few episodes a lot, especially this one.. I actually thought it was scary. Himawari's story was kind of a mindfuck, Doumeki had a scary cliffhanger story: "It was futile!" That was scary, I admit. The guy that Watanuki meets at the crossroads is freaky.. at the third crossroad he like smiles and stares at Watanuki? That was very creepy. Hopefully we get more of a backstory on Watanuki in this season ^^ Mokona, haha. She gobbled that spirit. "OM NOM NOM!" This was a good episode, 5/5 |
     |
| wonder what is so important about Himawari also her story was the scariest ^_^ |
 |
| The ending part was funny |

| I'm definitely interested in seeing Watanuki's story get some closure in one of the future episodes~. I thought it was a good episode, but it didn't creep me out that much... o_O I'm usually "the scaredy cat" in my group of friends, so it's kind of strange I guess... I want to know why Yuuko keeps involving Himawari! Gah! What's special about Himawari?! Is she some sort of magician too? DX Oh, and Mokona "eating" that spirit... Awesome. [Kuro]Mokona is cool. |
| That. Was. Freaky! That first ghost story that Himawari told was creepy as hell. Like straight out of the grudge! My goodness, the rest were good but that one caught me off guard! Some weird stuff going on with Himawari, though. Looking forward to the next! |
| Although it wasn't very scary I did not like when watanuki was grabbed! O: I found the discussion about the number four vey interesting. I am sort of on & off reading this book called Half World where they discuss this sunject matter as well. Is it true that 4 isn't in any japanese hospitals? So weird... |
| I liked this episode. The ghost stories were fun |
 |
| Kinda creepy, who doesn't like ghost stories. First time I've seen the characters telling ghost stories in an anime before. |
 |
| Well that was something different! |
 |
| All of those stories would've made a good series! |
 |
rebwaters said: Poor thing.... Hehehehe I swear, I can no longer read any of your posts without thinking exactly about Yuuko.... Damn your picture! and yet.... |
| I think very cute Mokona. |
 |
| So Mokona's like uh..the Ghosbuster's vacuum thingy :o Very convenient. |

| "Creepy"? "Scary"? So I'm just like Doumeki. lol |
| Whoa!!!!. Himawari's story was really scary. Her story was super effective on me. I was terrified for a moment. And i have feeling that something is not 'normal' about Himawari. She's not just an average school girl. This was an Awesome episode. |
 |
| Not a bad way to do ghosts stories. Twould be a good trip |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Maybe it's because I watched it in dub, but I didn't get the first 2 stories. The situation was good for Himawari's, but the ending was abrupt, and nothing actually happened? For Domeki's, I thought it was going to be something like 'the spirit actually came from him' not 'oh, wards don't work' and end it at that. I mean, I don't get how that was surprising in any way. The MC's was more interesting, but we didn't get a resolution yet.. This is coming from a guy that avoided watching that part with the guillotine last episode; these stories weren't scary. Not really invested in the series, but it's not bad, so I'll keep going. Edit: To anyone wondering, yes, that part about 4 and Japanese hospitals is true. But it's for the same reason that there are some hotels that don't have a thirteenth floor; superstition. Specifically, shi (4 in japanese) sounds like 'death'. So yeah, hospitals missing a fourth floor doesn't validate a thing. |

| This episode freaks me out especially Humawari's story. As usual, Doumeki save Watanuki but still being annoying about it. Sigh. I would also like to know the ending on Watanuki's story. |
