Is it still that popular back home? I was absolutely delighted with the first seasons, but then I began to find only 2-3 interesting episodes per show.

I agree. Almost every season has maybe 1 or 2 interesting eps but the rest is not entertaining. still looking forward to this new season.

Glad to see this series still going strong, sadly the last one I watched was Season 7 and after that lost track lol.

i lost track after season 4, but the fact that this series has been consistently releasing seasons for 10 years now makes me almost want to finish it.

Oh come on... It was good the first three seasons or so but now it's not scary anymore. Used to enjoy the goosebumps but now I'm like, what tickled me? Or some sh*t like that.

Iwasaki's worked on 6 or 7 other Yami Shibai seasons. How is he new?

Yeah but in a different role. It's his first time as a Producer instead of Planning.
Its the same for Norio Yamakawa.
