Nobody asked for this. The last two seasons have been absolute garbage. So much so that I refused to finish the last one. Who is still watching this show? Where did they get the budget to make this? Do they even have a budget?

what the fuck are they thinking

What the fuck are they thinking was literally my reaction soon as a notification popped up on my shit.

Yo, they really need to let this go. It IS NOT good. I don't know if this does well in Japan. I doubt it too. Short animes don't have that much of a history to do well.

I hate on this, but will still be watching it for the lolz.

Wow. I honestly didn't think they'd make another season of this, not that I'm complaining since I really like it, but I didn't think there would be enough people wanting another season to warrant them making one..

I still watch in hopes that there will be a scary episode here and there like the first few seasons but the last two seasons have just been horrible, to say the least.

Basically this.
It's really sad because I really enjoyed the first season and alot of people slept on this short little show, but then it went to shit in seasons 3 and 4 and I feel betrayed.
Problems that cannot be solved do not exist in this world.

As long as you can't guess everything that is going to happen in the entire episode after the first ten seconds it'll be an improvement. Someone said that the show has a new writer so I need to watch at least the first episide. Who knows, maybe I'll even like it.

I thought the 4th season had a few good episodes, and they're so short that you barely waste any time on them anyway. So why not?

I personally really enjoy this series, I love to see what new stories they will be telling next ~ There's been quite a few scary ones amongst them, and I just find them all fascinating. I also hear the original narrator will be back in this one, so that will be great! :D

Atleast they're trying new things.
4th season had lots of voice actors and this 5th season will be written by women writers and women voices.

In Japan 3rd and 4th season are considered as shit.
I can't believe they decide to make 5th season,I think this anime is aired at every monday 0330 (JST),so they don't care about audience rating.

lol exactly. I couldn't physically bring myself to watch that show even tho I'm someone who lowers expectations when it comes to horror

speaking of yami shibai, that show is not always scary but quirky and it once showed us that it can be original and since the writers are changed too I'll watch it with an open mind and see for myself

I agree. The last two seasons were stupid. However, I think the creators know that there are fans (like me) who will keep watching just to see if the show will ever go back to the glory days of season 1... almost like American Horror Story. I stopped watching AHS, but I still tune into the first few eps.

Gave the last season a rating of 2 and have never rated any season above 6, yet...me and my girlfriend still felt excited at this announcement for some reason. The short episodes makes for easy watching, and the potential for Yami Shibai to be a really good series has always been there...I want to see it happen. That said, the producers seem to be from an indie/small studio, so I'll cut them some slack.

lol, okay. My initial reaction was a long drown out defeated why but after coming to terms with it in this past minute, I'm down. Yami Shibai season, if nothing else, are bad in distinctly different ways, so it'll likely still be trash, but it'll be different trash. Also, each season has rated worse than the previous for me, so if the pattern holds, I'll have my second 1/10. So neat.

Why did it got a new season if you may ask? Most likely Japan. Or I don't even know.

I have to say I actually don't mind that there's going to be a fifth season. I'll admit that season 4 was a little bit of a letdown but season 3 I feel was very well done. Me and my boyfriend are both looking forward to season 5, whether it ends up being good or bad.

honestly i'm really sad to see everyone bashing this in. i mean i know it has been a rough two seasons, but i've been riding the Yamishibai train from the beginning and i welcome any season regardless how trash it is just because there is such a lack of anthology horror in anime, let alone any type of horror in anime. at least it's some what entertaining. we can really only hope for the best here.

hell at least Yamishibai introduced me to The Mirraz.

i respectfully disagree. the second season was the best in my opinion, third was a bit bumpy and fourth is when it started to really go down hill since that was being made around the same time as the other show they were in the middle of producing. it bled too much into each other.

I agree 100%. Personally, I have liked all seasons- yeah, some episodes of the 4th season really sucked (plus the random real life footage and that terrible narration), but it still had strong ones ("Calling Crane", for one) On the whole, I think Yami Shibai is a strong series. After all, each episode is only 5 minutes long, it's not like you waste a lot of time watching it. I was really happy when I heard about the 5th season.

honestly had a major face palm when season 5 appeared for summer 2017. i hope they learned from last season and go back to season 1/2 when it was actually fun to watch. either way i wont be surprised if i somewhat drop this. got 29 other shows to watch if i do drop.

As far as I am concerned, I am more than happy to see this continue. I immensely enjoy this series and was pleasantly surprised to see that it was part of this year's summer bash. Yami Shibai is creepy at best but never scary. Regardless as to whether the third and fourth seasons were received in a negative light, there are fans out there that do appreciate short horror anthology shows rather than the nonstop production of run-in-the-mill magical high-school harem ecchi trash that the anime industry is plagued with.
