It's like they had money to waste and decided fuck it we're going to make this guy actually fucking move, great episode though it was a very hit and miss anime but the ratio of good eps to bad eps is telling me to rate it 7/10 which then means it's the highest rating I've given out for this seasons anime... fuck.

I really liked this series I hope they decide to make another season. Some were scary and some were just creepy. xD

As low budget as this show was, it had a good sense of atmosphere that always had me anticipating how every episode would end. 7/10

Jesus christ, way to go out on a high note with that jump scare Yamishibai

If anyone likes some good old fashioned horror, they have no excuse not to watch this. Multiple stories to cater to different kinds of tastes that are all 3 min long

That dance at the end made me shout a tiny bit, damn that was a nutty way to finish off the series.

Overall I thought this was a decent short. Near every episode gave me goosebumps and it was just fascinating how they blended the different animation styles together to make a creepier atmosphere. 6/10 from me.

Called their friend a wimp, HE SAVED HIS OWN ASS. lol Is it just me that the last scene reminded me of a titan from AoT? My gut reaction was to laugh I'm sorry.

I'd like to see more shows like this.

Wasn't that scary of an episode compared to the others. I expected Tai-chan appearing into the binoculars, so it wasn't a surprise. LOL

Good series, even on a low budget, it has beaten the other horror animes I've watched so far, like Ghost Hunt. Great use of music as well. Would I rewatch this series? Hell no. Horror freaks me out!

7/10

I still liked episode 2 the most.

This was an okay watch due to the episode length.
Had this been ~23 min an episode I probably wouldn't think the same way.

For me the paper style animation only adds to the experience instead of taking away from it.

Honestly, this anime was way scarier than I thought it would be. For a 3 minute one, it left a good impression on me.

The last few seconds are a bit scary as the boy is looking for his friend through the binoculars. Overall rating for this series is 7/10 as some of the episodes are not well structured.

This episode was actually a little frightening. It looks like the episodes where people were doing weird dances was the scariest.

Some of these stories would make a good premise for a fleshed out higher budget 30 minute special.

The dancing was was really weird - kinda reminds me of those creepy rituals in some J-horrors I watched.

4/5 - it wasn't as good as others but I still like it! I wish there's more.

^ LOL, that must be it!

Anyway, good episode, good series. I was not expecting such unique horror stories (though I haven't seen a lot of horror films or shows in my life, in general), and the art wasn't a bad mix with the horror.
In fact, I'll probably download the series as a batch just to keep and watch whenever, since I liked their stories.

Was fun watching these all back to back in the dark with headphones. Less fun that my brother decided to come home after I'd already locked up.

8/10 because I had a lot of fun. At the end of the episode I jumped in the air like a rabbit does. The fact that the father was calling him out caught my attention.
Anyway, low budget but still very good. I hope they'll make a new season.

lol you say low budget as if that wasn't intentional , the paper art was used because it's a traditional way of Japanese story telling .

For those who say the dance wasn't creepy at all I pictured it like the Elric brother's resurrected mom moving like those Silent Hill monsters that shake extremely fast (or those from Jacob's Ladder)

The dance was really creepy and scary, I have no idea how people can laugh at it.

Anyway, really good series but too bad it ended so soon.

Had fun watching every episode standing 1 metre away from my monitor and lowering the volume.

I wish this series had longer eps at least 10-15 minutes long so they have enough time to explain some plot so there is at least some backstory on the myths or something to give it more substance. I think the shortness of them is what helps keep them creepy so a full length series is too much possibly but this should deserve to have another season.

Instead of being scared at the end i started laughing xD. Overall for a short series this was better than i expected it to be some parts very genuinely creepy, interesting and original while others were cliche and relied on cheap stuff. I'll give it an above average 6/10

This was surprisingly scary. I was not expecting this to have such a strong impact. This particular episode didn't scare me much but the 4th, the 5th and the umbrella ones were terrible for me :)

Scarier than I expected.
Some episodes didn't deliver as much as others.

I mostly watched so I could catch up on the second season coming out today! Definitely will be enjoying it.

Episode 2 will forever haunt me...Zanbai is going to trouble me in my sleep for many days...

Pretty unique though. :) 7/10

A good series, overall. Even a bit underrated, in my opinion. The episodes were short, but the atmosphere was creepy. My favourites episodes were about Zanbai, elevator and the one where a couple got possessed inside a haunted building. Time for season 2!

Wasn't that creepy to me. The atmosphere wasn't bad, though.

I have to admit that the end of the last episode got me a bit; I'm still thinking about it now.

Most of the episodes didn't really deliver and I was bored through them.

I'm not a fan of jump scares, but they were okay. The best scares were the ones that happened so fast, there wasn't any time to even figure out what was going on. Nothing screaming. Nothing appearing. Just a sudden cut. This show reminded me that horror can still work in animation. Good stuff.
