Well, the moment when the Umbrella Spirit popped out from the background to the victim's back was very unexpected!

A bit reminded me of one of previous episodes. Poor Kenji, it's understandable he opened the door when his trustworthy friend asked him to do so. The plot was twisted well and it was creepy, but I failed to understand the umbrella thingy. It was not explained as is always the case with this series.

This is my explanation: Kenji's freind Takeru is the chosen one for the Umbrella Spirit in the family. Takeru's father seems to know that his son will be possessed by the Umbrella Spirit and haunted his friends. He instructs Kenji not to open the door in warehouse at night for anyone until the next morning. Unfortunately, Kenji opens the door once for his freind Takeru. Although Kenji manages to lock the door, the Umbrella Spirit still clings to Kenji afterwards.

OPEN THE DOOR KENJI-KUN.

What the hell is wrong with all these doors in these episodes?

Anyway, indeed creepy, but not that much scary.

The "shii shii" sounds that umbrella woman made gave me the creeps. Not a fave but still a pretty good ep.

I second that, it was the best part of the episode. The rest was quite good, even though the ending was too easy.

Really? I thought it was kind of a weird addition. My favorite was the "Open the door" repetition that was heard from different directions (like w/ surround speakers, or my headphones had it alternate L and R side), plus the Why-Not subs were all over the screen xD that was creepy.

Once again, I'm not opening the door ><

Another 5/5.

"shi" means "death" in Japanese. It makes the episode creepier.

omg why do people never listen to explicit instructions for avoiding ghosts and demons ;_; He kept the window open too, I would have had that thing bolted shut under the circumstances...

The ending was very good though, the umbrella goddess popping up was so creepy and I was almost expecting the narrator to be like "he was able to go back to his vacation" BUT NOPE.

I think the umbrella spirit saw him letting his friend in so she masqueraded as his friend (badly) to trick him into doing the same for her. The twist is that she waited for him to come out instead.

So the Umbrella Goddess only goes through doors but not windows as I saw the window was wide opened?

Is it because they didn't put down enough salt to stop it? (cheapos)

If there are two big sacks of salt, would it pickle it to death?

Wouldve been much better without the "scare" in the end. Wouldve been much creepier to stay alive after that. So instead on 4/5 i will give it 3/5.

I think better ending would have been being comforted by the dad in the morning and being told that because he opened the door the other boy died.

It reminded me so much of the 8ft Tall Woman I read about so long ago...

I found that Shiii sound to be funny (like a balloon hiss) at the first time I watched but when I watched it the second time, it was eerie af.

this could've been a very good episode, but failed flat. I actually heard of this youkai story of a boy meeting an umbrealla woman and then he was locked up and instructed not to open the door, sadly the anime didnt take it a promising premise very far.
Btw i guess his friend saw that woman and was possessed.

I guess he never listened when his father said don't open for anyone, but he did for Takeru.
The lesson here is never open the door at night and always listen to reasonable advice.
