Reading all this "that was scary" comments...I want to be scared too! Why wasn't I scared?! Didn't even find it creepy. Something must be wrong about me :(

It was a really Nice Episode. The plot was scary but in the end it was just prank so i was a bit disappointed. But still it was scary. That background music and monologues really did a great job of creating a creepy atmosphere.

Yayyyy~ now THIS episode was creepy. Idk why everyone else freaked out about the scary ghost stories cuz none of them were spooky imo. This episode, however, does it justice with the creepy factor *thumbs up*

Yea, 3 in the morning, pitch black in the house, just watched this episode =x.
Might have to take some sleeping pills so i pass out and quit thinking about the ending lol. Excellent ep!
Oh my god. Same here. The entire episode through I was watching and laughing along. Then it came to about the final 20 seconds of the episode and I literally got teary-eyed from the girl in the window. It was honestly terrifying! (X.x) One of the scariest episodes I've ever seen in any anime! I'm a little dissapointed they didn't continue it in the next episode. Oh, well. Looking forward to the next!
I totally thought they would continue it at next episode then I see the next episode's preview I got disappointed but I agree that it's a great episode

jesus christ i can't stand this whole "i hate doumeki and i'm not gonna show any glimpse of sympathy for this guy because [enter irrelevant reason here]". them fighting or rather watanuki's attitude towards doumeki is just so goddamn annoying, noone on earth behaves like that

Even if it was all a setup and I did have my suspicions, still was kinda creepy when he was going into the room.

Behold of my awesomeness~

gd episode tho the trick was kinda silly as wat they said they wrote and wat we saw written was different so there prank was unforeseeable there was no clue for views to see a prank till it was done thats why the ending seemed so scary but really u cld tell before seeing the women in the window it was real as it had been saying it through out  i kinda dont like tht how they left it i hope it shows her again in or shows them saving her or something else then her jst saying now i can get out of her
Yeah, after I finished the episode, I was hoping that episode 13 was some sort of part 2, but it just ended up there... The first episode that doesn't really explain or at least help someone.

I give credits to Watanuki for preparing meals and cleaning, etc. But I think (this is my opinion, I don't hate him, okay? So chill) But It's not that cool for him to keep whining and bickering/shouting to Doumeki. There's a lot of moments when the guy saved him, he's not his enemy. Besides, Himawari seems to treasure both of them as friends. He's jealousy is a bit over the top 

Also about not asking for help, maybe there's a reason / trauma re: his past. IDK if it's just Doumeki that he doesn't want to ask for help, but maybe with other people too. Let's see.

The end part is pretty creepy.

He is carrying literally everyone’s bag. The summers are withering and she has a flower. Someone’s waiting. And writing and wearing and ripping. A secret room is making noise. Everything is covered in blue writing. A living spirit with no body. Not all of these situations, even warrant asking, not helping doesn’t say anything on him and says more about them. It isn’t always on him. It is a strange thing. It does fit with the character, I guess. What is happening? Why are they doing this to this poor man? She felt sorry for him and decided to terrorize him for a little bit? What a deranged thing to do? These people are mean. Asked for what? What is going on? Am I missing something? They drew all over the walls of a rental house? What a horrible episode. Let me try and rationalize, He can’t go swimming in the sea, I think. It is hinted as if there was some method that he could go into the ocean relating to his friend, but this also doesn’t make any sense because if that was true, then they could have just simply done it on the following day, or told him about it. She felt bad for him that he couldn’t go swimming and so decided to set up this mean spirited plan to trick him into doing something, but it doesn’t even work. They are acting as though it is his fault for not asking for help, but they are the ones making him do all the stuff he would need help with. This is just an episode of all of his friends being mean to him for no reason, and he still loses out in the end. Yuko being bossy isn’t fun if it just feels like she’s being mean, and this episode puts it into a context where they are being mean to him, switching from bossy to bullying, which ruins that aspect of yuko. 2
