Love this show so much!

Good episode, definitely more sad than scary though.
Poor Taro-chan. :(

Still can't get over Zanbai from last season...haunts me.


Even though Hair, The Talisman Woman, Contradiction, and The Next Floor were scarier that Zanbai, for some reason, Zanbai haunts me, as well. It's just creepy.

I just discovered season 2 is airing. It's 4:00pm and I have the lights on. I'm ready to catch up, now.

Totally agree. The story was half creepy and half sad.

ah, yes, I missed this show, could always use more horror series (not sarcasm by the way).
Well this first episode was disappointing, but every story is different so I'm sure I'll like the others.

this one was pretty creepy actually, nothing like the soul of a dead child haunting a doll _<D

the doll's whimpering by the end was what mostly got to me though, i kept expecting the guy's hand to break off or something -w-'

As soon as he mentioned ventriloquism, I was expecting something like that...still creepy though.

It's the old evil ventriloquist dummy trope but with a Yamishibai twist~ With his soul sealed by a Talisman, Taro died in a bike accident and decided ta do some dark humor about it lol. That Itai-yo part was a little creepy.

It could've been scarier if his hand ripped off with everyone screaming while they softly moan in pain: "It hurts..."

this was actually a rather sad episode. it is also the first episode that the ghost was actually friendly and only wanted to talk. that is why i felt bad for what happened to him :(

Idk.. this didn't felt scary or creepy at all... I've already heard that this show gets worse in the following seasons, but I wasn't expecting that much of a difference in the second season...
I hope the next episodes are better...

Is not a very good look when a horror anime makes you laugh rather than feel scared, and when Taro started to move his arms around like crazy it was way too funny.

Aye starting with the 2nd part!
The puppet was creepy not scary but still the story was enjoyable. Also the animation has improved a bit whilst maintaining the art style!

EDIT: AYO!! The ED showed a glimpse of the storyteller's face....Sheesh that guy is also a monster.
