I'd argue this was the dumbest one yet.........and pretty much all of the "scares" in this season have been pretty dumb.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol.

Also, Parasyte the Maxim pairing: Satomi and Shinichi? Where was Migi when you need to chop a donkey gf/clowns in half, am I right?

This was shit. It made no sense at all. So basically anybody that goes on the merry go round becomes either possessed or horses/donkeys? Cheap attempt at trying to spook. It's a shame since last week's episode was actually decent.


I thought it was really good, actually. The plot and setting weren't new, but they set it up well and it had good suspense. I like the idea of a decaying amusement area preying on people and turning them into its property and bait. It's grotesque and seems to imply an eternal cycle. Good themes and good execution.

Feels kinda sad that he lost his girlfriend. But really, "Hold this balloon and you can ride for free?" My mind was already going "Nope, nope, nope."

Why didn't they explore the Clown more? I mean, it wasn't scary at all besides the clown.

This series is really going downhill. The first two episodes were good, but after that, it just kept getting worse. The only fun part about it now is waiting to see the heads number increase on the ending.

Also, their definition of scary is having big mouths now.

I actually kind of liked this one, it did a good job keeping me guessing and had an ending I didn't see coming, which only one other episode of this series I can honestly say the ending surprised me, and that was only because it was the first time nobody died or otherwise suffered a horrible fate at the end.

Pretty sure they are stuck here until the end of time. Is that an horrible fate?

Probably, this episode didn't surprise me in that regard, though, that was back in season 2. Other episodes they telegraph the endings so hard I have a hard time imagining anyone that's ever seen a horror movie, read a creepy pasta, or otherwise indulged in the horror genre wouldn't be able to predict several possible outcomes, one of which will most likely be right.

This one, though, rapidly aging her until she dies, going the opposite path and de-aging her until she was as young as those two kids and trapping her on there, or even just outright trapping her I expected, merging her into the horse, that was nowhere on my radar.

Honestly, this was my favorite episode in a long while. Nobody could have possibly seen that ending coming... are y'all just complaining because it isn't spooky enough? Come on, you have to value creativity!

Honestly that's the main thing I value in horror, fiction doesn't scare me, so I'm really more interested in seeing what creative ways they can come up with to kill their characters, and bonus points if I can't predict it.

The one thing I really disliked about this one were the guy's reactions. Maybe I just don't know enough about Japanese culture, and maybe he reacted how most Japanese men would, but he seems way too calm after he realises something is up. If I saw my boyfriend acting like he's having a seizure while two demon children grin evilly I'd be shouting for help, not just staring at it like "Oh, well that's unusual. Whelp, I'm sure he's fine, back to fiddling with my camera."

I feel like the end would've been better if the merry go round kept going, and Satomi would just die of fatigue while Shinichi was made to watch. Too dark?

maybe we could all pretend that disfigurement came from her being taken over by a parasyte/ the merry go round -w-....

"Shinichi, are u watching?" That was pretty cute the way she said that.

Also reminded me of Parasyte cause of the names and the way the dude and his girlfriend looked.

This episode is the perfect example of how ridiculous this season has been, sometimes subtlety is better and scarier.
