My time has come once again to start a thread for an episode, Yamishibai is the only series that I can ever be early enough for lol. And this was an interesting one, not very scary but the little hands on the girl’s hand were pretty gross, especially when she finally got tired of them and ripped them out of her hand, and to think this all started because she stole something lol. I guess the message of this one is pretty obvious, but I wonder what the ending meant when one of the hands tried to escape, is it going to someone else who steals from others? Not sure, maybe someone else will have a better answer than me.

Also nice to see this artist return, it’s a very recognizable style in the series, not sure who it is but I really like their art.

I think this could be the start of something else later.

Having a season arc instead of single episodes could improve yami shibai.

Very good episode for sure!

It's creepy and also has a good lesson in it.
I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

lol I know what you mean!
during one early season that wasn't getting much love, for good reason since it was one of their worst seasons, I was two weeks late to watching an episode and no one had started threads for them lol so I was the first! pretty funny

so this episode just had me like.... hmmm ok?

I get the moral of the story but it was just so on the nose and the ending was just like....that's it?

last episode was slightly better but not that good either. I'm having a feeling this might be a dud season. the last few seasons have been ok too

The last dialogue was really anti-climatic. It just made me hate the girl more

Wow that’s pretty wild lol, poor Yamishibai just doesn’t get the attention every other seasonal show does, but I kinda like that because the very few of us who do watch it are like a little community of our own.

Such a missed opportunity for a good conclusion to the episode. I would have had her stomp the last hand, then all of the hands fade away. Showing that they were just her guilt manifested through a hallucination. Instead, I guess they went for her guilt manifested as literal monster hands with individuality, lol. Lone survivor just going on an adventure now, I guess. It is what it is though. The episode was decent enough. The ending just felt like, "Wait? That is the end?"

Seemed neat, but the anti-climatic end kinda killed it.

They were actually kinda cute. Their little hoshiiii's were kinda adorable. It's like she was killing her kids though, but yeah... don't steal stuff. I guess there's this idea of once you start, you can't stop... but even if you do stop, someone else will end up taking because humans are kinda greedy.

Ew, body horror. I hate hands coming from places hands should not be. But where's the little hand with legs going? Will we ever know? Based on the opening, "Hands" might be the season's theme: I'll keep watch for it.

Cat Report 2: Cherry up and left in the middle of this one. Perhaps she wishes she had hands, because then she could open the door herself, and I wouldn't have to let her in and out every 5 minutes.
