Another freaking episode for this series' return.

What a masterpiece piece of art! And going into the a bath room seems to be a bad experience in this series.

Wait. Did they just get rid of the storyteller's greeting scene? Yami Shibai isn't Yami Shibai without his inviting dialogue. Highly disappointed. >.>

The story itself wasn't creepy either. Also, what in the world is that ED song? Where is that Hatsune Miku song? What the F? >.<

Well, this episode was not that great. Especially the ending song. I hope they won't keep it for the whole show.

The story itself was average, but the monsters design was a bit weird. They made better in the past. And the story itself didn't make a lot of sense, hope it improves later.

And they changed the intro? It was better before, as everyone said before me.

Overall disappointed for the first episode, I hope it will improve...

Agree that I miss the dude at the beginning and the Miku ending songs. But man I missed this show and this was a decent episode.

I miss the story teller, but I'm glad the original writer is back for this season. First episode is way better than most of season 2.

Kinda glad we don't have Miku again though. Not a big vocaloid fan.

That was incredibly obvious from the start, I don't know why so many people were put off by there not being a storyteller this time.

Kamishibai is already done with illustrations, so somebody has to draw them, and the ED is where the artist gets the inspiration for the stories, by demons telling him.

Pretty good episode though, if not predictable, but that's kind of the charm of Yamishibai.

Didn't watched "Yami Shibai 1st season & 2nd season". Was expecting it to be scary but it's not that scary I guess.
Reading from all "Storyteller" comments above me, I guess I missed a fortune in this season. I'll begin with S1 & S2 then

This would have been scarier if the woman was actually human and missing all the parts she wanted :(

I feel this happens a lot with american tv series but it doesn't really matter where the show is from as long as you know when to stop. I feel Yami Shibai could have been a two season show but for some reason they decided to do another one. This intro is the worst of the three, they got rid of the storyteller (which was interesting and scary) and this first episode was totally uninspired and not scary at all (imo). Some some reason this is the season with the worst score yet. I'll stick to this show because I liked the previous two but I hope to see better episodes along the way.

Don't know why everybody seems to dislike this, imo the episode was very thrilling with the question-and-answer game and the big reveal (seriously, that design!) in the end. Also the ending was new and refreshing. Although without the storyteller the series has lost some of its charm, I have to admit.

This is why I don't like today's voice actress, they only know how to sound 'cute', that totally killed the chill. It doesn't help that I just came from watching Ghost in the Shell.

Man, I'm gonna miss narrator-san.

In all seriousness, the episode wasn't that bad. Fairly creepy near the end, the design was a bit weird though (weird in a creepy way). That ending song is... New. Don't know how I feel about it yet. Looking forward to the next episode.

Same! As a previous comment said, it's not Yamishibai without him!

I really liked the little opening jingle though. I thought it was a good first ep!

The art in this episode looked great for a Yami Shibai short~ So many nicely-rowed tiles. Much improvement ♥

I have to admit that she did have a lovely voice. Too bad she looks like that *^* And she already got scissors xD

They should've stuck ta Hatsune for the ending theme... It just sounds weird kek.

Finally a story that creeped me out. "Can i have your nails, all of them" o_O i guess wrong place, wrong time. Who knew that weirdo scissors freak would be in that bath. And the guy was so kind to lend her the soap and a bucket. Once she popped out that took me aback a little. I wonder what did she mean by "all buckets are already in use"

Good start but they should have kept the old storyteller.

The ED is a lot better than those vocaloid ones they had before.

Cool ED, but the actual episode was rather disappointing.
And no storyteller anymore? He always settled the mood of the episode for me.
