A crazy show with a crazy finale. Makes sense.

That guy's face seriously creeps me out...like one of those things you see from horror movies.

No Banba got take over I guess. At least that asshole guy is dead, i think. Overall decent series. I wished there was a better closure though.

4/5

Very nice final, that was creepy as shit. Banba got take over, only a matter of time until he goes full rogue.

7/10, this is definitely underrated and i would like to see a second season with a taken over Banba.

Best shorts this season for me. I sure hope Banba killed the other guy. It seems the kagewani hasn't taken over him completely yet, so that's a good thing. I don't get how Banba & the kagewani are coexisting in the same body though. Would have liked if they explained that. Anyway, S2 pls.

This was a really great short anime. Pity that guy got killed in the end. Never really expected Banba and the clone to 'merge'. I thought that Banba would kill the clone or something.

There is some hope for another season, right?

I think there's a possibility. Yami Shibai got second and third season, so it wouldn't be too far fetched for Kagewani to get one as well. Although the only difference is that there is a plot in Kagewani, and I would wonder if they can make a second season feel just as fresh as this season did, now that we kind of solved the mystery. They could still go with just following Banba around until the Kagewani takes over him though, if anything.

At the beginning of every season I mark a few that I will try out but will most likely drop, and this was one of them. I was surprised to find myself really getting into this series after the third episode. I think the plot and mystery was nicely unveiled and explanation behind the monsters was interesting. Poor Banba though, looks like he will be taken over eventually. At least Kimura got what he deserved, hah.

There is still some mystery left. Where is the Kagewani hiding, how to kill them, and how can Banba get rid of the Kagewani inside him (if he can get rid of it, that is).

I do have slight hope because, this is a low-budget anime, so another season won't harm, I guess.

really good and interesting for a short anime . Although as i already said 3 episodes ago it deserved more depth because it sure had a lot of potential .
i'm giving it 9/10 , yes this is Overrated even i know that but in my opinion it deserves it because despite low budget animation it managed to offer a really good experience it got me hooked from the start even though episodes 1 to 3 were average . I know it's impossible but if this anime had an anime with 24 minutes long episodes i'm sure it'd be really good . because it managed to have what's the most important thing for a "Mystery-Supernatural" anime and that thing is the atmosphere

That old woman is the girl from the previous flashback, the one that lost her arm, no? From the village that created the Kagewani. Look at her gun and the same knife. Since it was so long ago it makes sense she's old now.

I can see this series with a 2nd season. As stated, There's still many mysteries left unsolved/explained.
Banba fighting all the other monsters kinda thing. Well only time/ratings and sales will tell if there will be a season 2. I hope it won't take long and cause the series to be forgotten to the viewers.
If it's taking more than a year, then its more than likely a lost cause. Meaning no season 2.

By far one of the best shorts I've seen kind of a slow build up but the last couple episodes make up for it. This one was pretty tense... and I don't usually get like that watching anime, though the very end dropped the ball a little. Still a decent series.

Great ending and yeah I hope it gets a second season.

Best episode of the series. I was actually kinda shocked by the end. But overall, I didn't really like this show. If it gets a second season, I might watch it because I just want more things explained. There are still some loose ends for me.

decent for a short. the shotgun woman still appears out of nowhere. Banba sensei has powers now, although how long will he be able to hold back?

7/10 I still want to know what will happen next.

oh. I will miss Arrival of Fear. LOL

I didn't expect this would turn to a good anime short.
If they are gonna make a sequel, I'll still watch it.
Anyway, I'll give this anime a 7 out of 10 score overall.

Good monster stories until around the Tremor creature episode. Story would've had more of an impact and the characters would've been more fleshed out had it been a 24 minutes per episode.
