Well I definitely didn’t expect to be the one starting the thread for episode 1, but hey let’s get right into it! Not a bad start imo, but I think I mainly liked this one for the wrong reasons, mainly being that the guy seemed kinda unfazed by all the ghosts in his apartment, it felt more comedic than scary lol. And then at the end he finally decided to break the only rule and open the door because all this scary shit had been happening already, how bad could it possibly be? And his initial reaction was that he felt cheated lol, once again kinda funny, but the last moment where he locked himself behind the door was a pretty spooky ending to what I found a mostly funny episode, definitely not what I was expecting either, I liked it.

And that ending song was very good, I really liked it, a different style from the one we had in the 11th season. And I unfortunately have still not seen seasons 6-10 but I will definitely hit them eventually lol, for now I’m excited to see what spooks this season may bring!

Our Storyteller is here once again.

Decent start. Maybe even a little better than I expected.

This was the first ep of the whole series I've ever seen. The op and ed are FANTASTIC, the story is good, but the trash art kills all these positive points. ,😒

Is this a show I can go in to without having seen the prior season? Or will I be hopelessly confused?

@DingoMan19
Usually it is just one-off stories so you don’t have to have seen the previous seasons to understand what’s going on, but there are exceptions like how last season had an episode that was like a sequel to an older story.

the other guy was right it's one of seasons but plz plz plz watch S1 cause it's the best one they ever did. The best stories and some good jump scares.

After S1&2 it went downhill then came back up a bit. Hopefully this season will be good, but don't miss out on the only season any of us longtime watchers would agree is the best season.

I thought it did really well following some of these trends in horror now where people seek it out for the thrill!

dude reminded me of Eiko in Dark Gathering lol got addicted to the thrill of what's gonna pop out next and ended up becoming one of the ghosts himself.

Bro looking for the next ghost!

My wife and I absolutely want to go back and watch prior seasons. Gotta find time between all of these top-tier seasonal shows.

I getcha man!
Between the good ones to watch and hell let's be honest even some of the mediocre and trash ones that are still too good to pass up every season.
Where do we find the time for plan to watch list!

But hey at least these are 5 min episodes so not too bad. Glad y'all are trying them out. Good or Bad this show is kinda addicting and you never know what kinda season you'll get hahaha.

Okay, here we go again. This wasn't bad for first episode.
I like the idea of people open the cage and get trapped there, then the new tenant see the spirits of that people.

So if he opened it and then didn't get scared after, would he just be fine and not die in there? :O

Just saying, I probably just would not move in, because I might end up opening it, too. Lmao.

@TheColonel76 Congratulations on being the series discussion starter! I heard everyone who starts series discussions for Yami Shibai is cursed to want to always want to do series discussion starters for Yami Shibai until the season ends. Thanks for taking one for the team.

Honestly, I thought MC was taking the situation like a champ and I was rooting for him. Then he just had to be curious. Hopefully someone opens the door so he doesn't end up like all those ghosts before him who apparently opened the door (perhaps). Good start!
