| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That's some creepy shit this episode with that abomination. Sensei in her cloth-form is also creepy as hell. Seriously though, every episode feels like it's getting creepier and this one was no exception. Evil lurks in this show and isn't afraid to show it. Souichi is also back! The strange guy never ceases to make awkward moments in this show. |

| the first story is pretty creepy, the art nailed it. there’s so much question left unanswered, but it’s better to keep it that way i guess. the monster is weird as fuck, gigantic blob melting and shit, makes me wonder what kind of family lives in there... i never thought Shouichi will back again, this one is pretty good though. it’s kinda unique, i love how they put squeaky sound, and the music setup is very comedic, Shouichi deserve that shit. how much Shouichi will they put in here?, i hope they adapted Secret of Haunted Mansion, because that’s the best of Shouichi. |
 |
| Y'know, I wasn't sure how they were going to put a satisfying end on that first segment with Oshikiri... but another Oshikiri walking up behind them just as they were wondering if they could make it back, with the low shot of just their legs, that was enough for me. Souichi I think worked better here, now that we've already seen some other, less comedic segments. It didn't really work as the first episode, but I'm happy to see him occasionally for a little change of pace. |
| "EVERYBODY, CLAP YOUR HANDS!" "PLUS ULTRA!" |
| Finally, Oshikiri's time. It was nice to see one of his stories... too bad it's just one. His volume is one of my favorites in the entire collection, I'd love to see more of it. alt!Oshikiri after taking the injection was probably the creepiest thing in this anime so far, I loved it. As for Souichi... I have a problem with Souichi bc I like him as character but I can never really get into his stories, save few exceptions (I hope they get animated as well), but it was alright, I guess. |
| I always laugh at Souichi's story :D The first part wasn't that creepy when compared to the previous episode either. |
 "No matter how far you travel, you can never get away from yourself." -- Murakami Haruki |
| eeehhhh they gonna add Oshikiri on top of Souichi and CrossRoad Pretty Boy? I mean I'm pretty sure the volume-title series will be adapted (https://www.mangaupdates.com/series.html?id=29744) ----I hope none of the will left behind----- but I dont know how to feel with adding Oshikiris, heck if we even gonna get all of his stuffs? we only got 12 episodes ffs and most of the standalone are goods damn I really boggled atm Like, I like Oshikiris stories as much as others and some of them is my favorite but I kinda worried of some potential good stories got left behind in favor of our 3 continuing boys, idk man Also, glad to have this episodes of Souichi though |
 he takes what he's lost and discards what he's won, he's every bit as alive as you and I |
| So the first one was scary as fuck and the second was a comedy where Souichi is back :o I like |
 |
| ok the first episode was creepy and the way it ended was....blurrrr Soiuchi again was not expected him...man that guy is creepy...what with cloth teachers any way |
 |
| The first story was pretty creep, especially when Oshikiri took that injection. The second story was okay. It wasn't as creepy as the first one. |
 |
| The first one was all right. The second was lame imo, I dislike Souichi so I hope we don't see him again. I hope the next ep is creepier tbh |
| Oh boy, finally "Further Tales of Oshikiri-kun" <3 But I noticed that the timing is mixed, I mean, the first chapter is "Hallucinations", but they started from the fifth. So I guess we should expect "Trespassers" next time. |
| Still not getting any major creeped feelings, the first half was alright with the body horror but it still felt like a lot of nothing. Maybe I'm just tougher than I thought. Also the animation felt particularly clunky, especially when Aoyama was punching Oshikiri. Souichi is a weird one I have mixed feelings with, I don't find him funny just mildly entertaining and I always end up feeling somewhat bad for him. Also I have no idea how any of the students are supposed to represent elementary school kids with those voices. I'm just mildly disappointed with it so far, will most likely end up giving this a 5/6 unless the second half really pulls some good stuff. |
 |
| did anyone else noticed the unsynced lip sync?? i also felt like the animation was quite poor... |
| Cursing an elementary school kid with beard growth, now that's one quality curse |
 |
| I wasnt fan of Souichi return, but the first story was quite good |
| Wanted to see more of the first story, it was interesting but the second story was lame and ruined the whole episode. |
 |
| The first part was more interesting, but the second part was funnier. I'm not even watching this as a horror anime. I'm watching this as a weird+lol anime and I love it. I don't think Souichi will appear on other episodes. |
| I thought the first part with the alternate worlds was conceptually interesting but overall a bit weak -- I wanted it to be more creepy or have a better finale. The first episode with Souichi was the weakest (then the 2,3, and 4th got increasingly better). Now that he's back I'm still not a fan. |
| First half was scary,bizarre and exactly what I want from this show. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Yay Souichi is back! His stories are always the funniest. I hope we see more of him. I feel bad that he got pantsed in front of his whole school, but like, he curses people. The bad stuff he does had to come back to bite him in the ass (via the nails) at least once. |
 |
| I was already loving this series, but this episode had me at the edge of my seat... This really does scratch my horror itch that I didn't even know I had. Studio Deen is getting better at this by the episode. 4.5/5 |
| Seeing yourself walking around the house is beyond creepy for me.. i even had nightmares like that |

| Damn the ending to the first half with another Oshikiri stepping in behind the "real" one. Now that's a spooky ending. Also a new Souichi story, idk how I feel about these stories because I feel they don't really capture the best parts of Junji Ito's other works but whatever. Still a really solid episode |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| Oshikiri should move out of there already. Based Souichi again, cloth dolls work well but a bit too obsessive. |
 |
| Ma boi Souichi came back with nails |
| The first half was based on Fight Club, trust me. |
 |
| IIRC Souchi's character is popular in Japan so it wouldn't suprise me if we see more him. |
| The Anime Binge Is Life -PolarCyrus97 2k17- |
| Parallel worlds that's neat! the puppets were funny. |
| Lol at the second half. I found it quite amusing and the first story, shit. the cliffhanger at the end |
| Souichi best girl |

| Welp, it happened. I'm a Souichi fan now. Must be one of his curses. |
 |
| I enjoyed Souichi's ass. |
| Sieg Zeon! |
| I still think the animation doesn't do justice to Ito's work. the art of this anime is kinda bad at times. And the pacing of this episode is just off, kinda rush. I think episode 4 is still the best one so far. |
| Souichi is really starting to grow on me, i just find him funny. |
| The animation was pretty bad (that punching scene) but I do like more Souichi. The latest eps haven't been as creepy as I'd hoped. |
| So what happened to Oshkiri after this in the manga can anyone tell me? |
 |
| I was pretty reluctant about the first episode. Parallel worlds is such an onverused topic. But boy, it escalated quickly. The best ending so far. It creeped me out, was not expecting it to end abruptly like this. Souichi segment was okay, but still not a fan. His stories are somewhat predictable and they destroy the flow of this anime for me. Not that i hate them or do not like them, but i think that the time could be used for much better stories. |
| Ah, I was wondering why the kid with nails was the main character. But he appears more than once. Makes sense I guess. |
 Three things cannot be long hidden.. ...the s u n, the m oo n, and the tr u th. |
| Honestly wasn't a fan of this episode. Something about the way Further Tales of Oshikiri was adapted just felt off to me (although I still enjoyed the climax of the story) and we got a second Souichi story from Mannequin Teachers without the context needed from Souichi's Home Tutor. When we haven't even got one story from Tomie's anthology yet. Setting aside my own hatred for Souichi and his stories, the pacing felt way off in this segment too. The one solace that I can take from this is that this means that not all of Souichi's stories will be adapted; thank god for that! Easily the worst episode the series has had yet, hopefully next week's episode will be better. 3/5 |
