I expected more from it, since it could've been made realllyy scary... But it still wasn't bad I guess.

It was chilling this time. The execution of the ending was a bit disappointing though.

Fuck. I hate horror shows after all. Didn't expect the music to suddenly change even if it was just a pseudo jump scare. Well, onto the next episode.

Ahhh the sound effects at the end give me chills. I know something's up when his friends became quiet all of a sudden - only to turn into "that" in the end.

And well, I think it's one of the best eps. I always have a thing with cursed videos so 5/5 from me.

Omg it make me think of when your computer is off and the screen reflects everything, and you hope not to see something scary in the screens. ><

I like to watch these at night, it's the perfect time ><

This was one of the better Yami Shibai episodes, I loved a lot the creepy cemetery and the dark voices of the two guys in the end.

Only thing I don't get - why are there two ghosts although there was only one in the video? ^^

Well, it was promising for being soooooo scary, but it was poorly executed at the end.
I wanted the ghost to come out from the TV, but perhaps it would be too predictable.

as previous episodes. 4/5 ^___^

Cursed videotapes always freak me out, after watching the ring.

This was pretty scary...when the thing moved closer, I freaked out especially because of the change in music. I love the ambiguous figures in this show...really scary.

Whoo...I got through it...I always have to pause for a bit so my heart doesn't explode. XD

Me every time I see a black screen after watching Ringu 6 years ago. Except this is almost somehow worse because it shatters my feeling of safety when watching anything horror with my friends, like holy shit, THEY can turn into the ghosts x_x

So that's why we gave up on VHS entirely nowadays xD Good thing I started ta do me homework the day it's given.

As a fan of horror anime, this series has been one of the creepiest I've watched so far (in a good way).

This was my favorite episode so far. I guess because I always found the concept of seeing something noone else can see the scariest of all the horror cliches and the setting being a graveyard strengthened the effect. That said the show seeems to parody itself, the resolutions of the episodes are generic and predictable and I just can't take it seriously.
