Another 6 minute anime :(

Wasn't sure what to expect. Assumed it would've been weird since the guy looked like he was holding something odd in the cover.

Well I liked it.

Too bad it's too short. Wouldnt mind seeing it in a longer version with better animation.

Wow. It was very interesting unexpectedly. The story was chilling and intriguing enough to glue me to the screen. The art was nice. I liked the animation, which reminded me of Inferno Cop, Shoujo Tsubaki and the Cat Eyed Boy.

Legitimately scary - +20
six minute episodes - -10

I loved it, but it just had to be a short...

What's wrong with it being a short? Not every short is shit like Teekyu or Ai Mai Mi. Furthermore, it's hard for a horror story to create suspense for 20 minutes, so this short time frame fits the purpose of this show well.

Women staring at you are always able to chill me, but man. I was genuinely scared this time, haha. Conclusion was kind of weak.

Don't think my heart can take more of these stories ;__;

The airing next week will be delayed by 30 minutes, I wonder if Crunchyroll's simulcast will be delayed as well...

The good news is they are going to air 2 episodes at once next week.

Because a full episode would mean more creepy stories. Like Folktales of Japan, there are three short stories that make up the episode.

As it is, it's just one story per episode. And a short one at that. It's just kind of sad that there will only be so little shown a week.

I was thinking this was going to be full length series but it being a short works better.

... and why would you pull talismans off of anything though?

I think the effect/creepiness would be lessened in a way if they tried to do multiple stories an episode. Unlike the usual shitty comedy shows that are shorts, this show kind of needs the atmosphere/immersion.

so.. i don't really get the story.
What exactly happened?
All i know is that the talisman were attached to the guy's table at the bottom and when he suddenly ripped them up, he saw a bunch of ghosts.
I really don't get it lol. Someone tell me how the story goes with that woman who got arrested. Why did she appear in his room and staring at him?

4/5 for this episode. Great one for a short series.

To be honest, the style used here is perfect for series like this. The colors and textures used are in between the usual anime style and reality which makes it scarier. Then there's the paper-like animation to come with that and adds to the creepy atmosphere. I don't think it would be as good as it is if it was done with better animation (like Another's animation?).

I think this series will be a compilation of japanese urban legends or something. Like one story per episode.

Looking forward to the next one.

i laughed hard when the woman got caught. she's certainly creepy, but the idea of the police catching ghosts the same way they do with criminals was absolutely funny.

im guessing the talismans were the things that were keeping the ghosts away and when he ripped it off the ghosts came back,the creepy woman snuck into the guy's room in order to place the talismans under the table, so the creepy woman was actually protecting the guy lol the creepy woman was arrested for trespassing

I completely agree with you, friend. The animation they used set it up as if it were a storybook urban legend, especially by having it appear as an oral legend told by the masked person in the beginning. It has a childish vibe from the animation.

Overall, not too bad. Reminds me a lot of Fuan no Tane.

It was obvious the woman was trying to help him from the moment she was arrested...
But what was the point of putting a talisman on the ceiling if the ones under the table worked?

But why is the woman herself scarier than the ghosts... Dafuq.

Um, that was strange. It's so short that there really isn't much going on before it ends. I also don't like the animation.

It's not exactly scary, just kind of creepy.

it's obviously done on purpose to fill the theme of the series, and I actually think it works pretty well (or at least for the first episode)

I was surprised by this as I wasn't expecting much, looking forward to the next episode...
