Hmm an ordinary day of friends hanging out and playing an odd game.

Well that got sick and ugly fast with the choking up. Not scary though imo, this episode felt awkward.

Pretty sure most people would crap their pants if that happened in real life. Definitely strange and creepy.

The change in art styles is really confusing did they decide that from episode's 9 and onward they should use different art styles because I have to say I'm not liking this decision then again I'm barely liking this anime. I will say this though this episode was actually good would be better if they toned down on the narration hell even the live action parts were good hell we got 3 live action parts the last live action part was my favorite.

I believe the real horror is that the sensei knew this would happen, I mean think about it he likes scary stories he tells a group of girls about this myth that almost no one knew about. I believe he told them a different story as apposed to the real story which is the person doesn't die but rather the person soul is transferred to the body of the one who eats the crane. don't you see this is his way of immortality he's basically a parasite when one body becomes weak a new body must be obtained.

BTW that was just me BSing but it made sense in my head, it's been so long since I've done something like this for a yami shibai discussion that I just went overboard or not overboard enough!

also her friends were complete bitches.

I just don't understand why they laughed so much, if I'd be somewhat acquainted with a person choking like that, I'd try to help instead of laughing...

Eh not bad. But if the ghost didn't kill you then surely choking or lead poisoning would. Also I had a dream about Yami Shibai where the ending gets all wacky and distorted because it's way too nice and peaceful for a show like this. Anyway, spook level = would have had a heart attack if this happened to me.
My signature is lame...

First good episode of 4th season. Authors had balls to show the conclusion of story this time and not to cut it. But its too late...

Finally! Narration aside this one has to be the best episode this season. It was creepy like a regular yami shibai episode, and had an actual conclusion instead of leaving us in the dark trying to figure out what the ending was implying. If only they had done this from the start...

So Honoka is already dead? And the person who the teacher "called" was her?

Thought this episode was fine! Had a "logical" premise that made you ask, "Okay, so what about it?" and followed it through just as logically instead of just someone finding/experiencing something odd/creepy and something jumps or whatever. There are some holes, but they're holes that are okay to leave unfilled so the audience can fill it themselves.
While this episode didn't scare me or anything, it was still done well enough.

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria

This was nice, it even had a solid conclusion as a bonus~

Poor Honoka got her soul traded for a horror game that was done for shits and giggles. Iq hope that they at least ask him a relevant question.

GOOD GRACIOUS DID WIKIHOW DIRECT THE ART AND ANIMATION THIS EPISODE?

The switches in art styles are starting to become jarring

---

OH WOW AN ACTUALLY REALLY GOOD EPISODE!

Impressive atmosphere and good payoff!! It feels like the first season!

Good job writers.

Now if only you could've kept this up for 4 more seasons...


Seriously though the art looks like it came straight from Wikihow lol
