Eh, this episode felt really awkward. A guy sitting the bathroom with their iphone while there's some others outside..

Ofc, since this is Yami Shibai, it's not going to be normal.

Swing and a miss. I think comedy could be added as to the genre list. Scare level: Almost spooked enough to not laugh.

They wanted to go to the toilet, and I suppose that was the only one there.

The first couple episodes this season were alright but lately it's just been episodes that seem to make no sense and then a spooky thing happens for no reason. Like, what as this? He entered a bathroom stall with writing on the walls and tall ghosts came in the bathroom? Like, what was supposed to be scary?

This has still been better than season three, but that's not a hard thing to accomplish. At least these episodes are only a few minutes long.

Spooked the hell out of me. The idea of being in this confined space by yourself, will all those "People" around not knowing what's going on outside is a pretty scary thought to me.

If only the narration got less. Reeeeeeeeee

The 4th season seems to be very weak stuff. I watched this episode with interesting but it just kind of fell flat short.

It would be more understandable if the man had walked into the ladies bathroom instead.

Haha, well, it might not really be 'cute' but compared to the other episodes it seems to be quite cute and innocent indeed. And/So yes, A guy sitting on the toilet while almost getting ganged on by some footstep creeps is called relatively cute nowaday.

Something I noticed and verified:
He sat on the toilet with the lid up and his pants on? Not very hygienic if you ask me.

For this episode: I'm still bothered about the introduction of a narrator since episode 1 since it doesn't seem to fit and it ruins the whole mood. About the content: what were the meanings of the markings? Did it have any effect that he wiped some of them off?

This episode could have been saved if they included a fart or poop sound at the very end.

I actually thought this episode was fine! So far the only one I thought was fine so far.
The only thing is that it's very similar to an episode from season one-- the one with the guy and his family in the mall (and similar to another one but comparing it to that one is kinda reaching).
In this episode we finally have someone doing something that maybe they shouldn't be doing and kinda shows their situation is caused by their own personality instead of random circumstance. That's already an improvement to me. Now that doesn't always have to be the case/these episodes don't always have to be a cautionary tale, but I thought in this case it worked really well.

The dude is blowing off his wife pretty much to text back someone about drinking later. While yeah it might be nice to do what you want to do on your day off, your wife probably doesn't get to spend much quality time with you either because you work so much. But instead he's just being a downer the whole time and "escapes" to the bathroom.

The other thing is, he's texting in the bathroom, which is considered rude many times because other people need to go (thus all the footsteps). The worst part is he's not even using the bathroom, he's just sitting there to text.

So he has all this stuff against him; he summoned the ghosts by being inconsiderate pretty much.

As I think about it, I'm slightly laughing at the ghosts looking over the stall (because that's just as inconsiderate), but this is the same open-ended type of endings I enjoyed from season one even if it's just a lil' silly once you think about it.

Anyway, I just felt this one made sense.
Two words of caution from this one:

1. Don't blow off your family.
2. Don't inconsiderately take up space.

For a second or two I thought the same thing, "Wait are we going to rehash the elevator man??" I actually thought this was a decent episode too. I wish the ending would have been a bit different. It feels like they run out of steam mid climax.

If you're gonna use the bathroom, at least use it in the way it's intended to be used xD

boys wanted to use the bathroom, but seriously use the the toilet rather than texting and erasing what seemed like an important seal xD

What the heck is with punishing people for using the bathroom??

This episode was weird. Not even scary. Made no sense whatsoever.

I had fun riffing on it with my sister though.

But seriously what the heck???

This season is starting to remind me of season 2. It's got some decent episodes while the majority of them are boring, funny, and definitely not scary. I guess at least it's not like season 3...?

what angered me the most is that he was sitting on the toilet with his trousers fully on? What a strange way to shit, I myself being the classy gentleman I am completely strip. However, if I am unable to, I at least have the common decency to make my lower half bare. Disgraceful.

Strange episode. Not much context except maybe that stall with the markings was cursed or smth?

Also who tf uses email for normal conversations? Don't they have any instant text messenger?

This one was good. Would be creepier if there was less narration but this was one of the only good ones this season.
