Television station TV Tokyo announced a seventh season for the Yami Shibai short horror anime series on Monday. The new season—based on the setting of "closed space"—will begin airing in July 2019. Each episode will stream a week ahead of the television broadcast on TV Tokyo's AniTele website.

Kanji Tsuda is reprising his roles as the storyteller from the previous seasons. Ryouta Murai, who appeared throughout the series, is also returning as a cast member.

Television, stage, and variety show actors Shunsaku Yoshimura, Ryou Shinoda (Ore Monogatari!!), Masaki Sawai, and Nobuhiko Ooakami from the Nanafushigi comedy duo are serving as voice actors in the new season.

New voice cast from the animation and live stage fields include Rimo Hasegawa (Mazinger Z: Infinity), Sena Horikoshi, Hikaru Kotama (Usakame), Yuuki Nishinoya, and Aya Oota.

The new season also casts virtual YouTuber Taku Nanase, and veteran film stars Kumi Nakamura (Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora), Sachiko Nakagome (Kenchou no Hoshi), and Kazuo Andou (Tsuru Akira: Kokoro no Kiseki).

Kenichi Sugimoto is directing the seventh season at ILCA, with production cooperation by IANDA and DRAWIZ. Hiromu Kumamoto is returning to write the script from the previous installments. Theatre director Mitsuhiro Sasaki (Ghost Scout live-action film), occult storyteller Ayako Yamaguchi (Yami Shibai 5), and novice playwright Saki Kuniyoshi are also joining Kumamoto as scriptwriters.

Yuu Ebihara, Tatsuya Morino, Yukio Kanesada, and Yoroshi Aka are returning as key animators from the last season. New key animators include Seiya Yamaguchi, Atsushi Itou (Shakugan no Shana II (Second)), and Saya Kanamura.

TV Tokyo and ILCA producers Norio Yamakawa and Takuya Iwasaki are returning as series planner. Satoshi Umetsu (Captain Tsubasa (2018)) and Akira Funada are credited as producers.

The band betcover!!, lead by novice artist Jirou Yanase, will perform the ending theme "Kekkai."

The first Yami Shibai anime season premiered in Summer 2013 and the sixth and latest season aired in Summer 2018, with each season focusing on a specific theme. Crunchyroll simulcast the seasons as they aired in Japan. Sentai Filmworks licensed the first two seasons in December 2015 and shipped them on a Blu-ray and DVD volume in April 2016.

Yami Shibai: great concept on paper, but I despised the actual execution. The first season was definitely a decent start, and piqued my interest in the kinds of stories they'd be able to tell with such a unique style, but it quickly went to shit with S2. And now here they are, beating the same dead horse for the seventh year in a row.

Season 1 & 6 are the best, the rest are pretty bad.. though doesn't hurt to get more horror anime, it's short and easy to consume anyway. Hope it turns out well.

I stopped watching a while ago cause it was depressing how bad it got, did season 6 actually finally reach the quality of the first to a degree?

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me

Seriously stop it. Yami shibai first season was truly something else, but after that it kept getting worse

Season 5 and 6 weren't season 4 level bad, but still bad. Please stop. I wasn't too big on the first season, but it had some novelty. Novelty is the last thing this series knows now.

Ohhhhhh nnnnnnooooooo.
Okay okay. Last season wasn't terrible, and season five did have its strong points, but ugh, man... it's always a gamble with Yami Shibai.;; I'm not even a gambler, yet I keep gambling with this series.
So I guess... I'm watching season seven.
Hopefully it will be fine. I doubt we'll get on the same level as season one, but Yami Shibai is still entertaining even with its flaws.

Among all the Japanese interstitials I've watched, this is my favorite.

but then again, the only real competition in this category are things like Charady's daily joke, but hey, get hyped.

With each new season, I have less hope that YS will become as scary and creepy as in the first seasons. However, why not? I love Japanese horrors.
