Pretty creepy episode, not much to say about it though. There's probably nothing less creepy than hearing an old woman laughing in the dead of night.

Probably the worst episode of the season yet. There really wasn't anything scary in this one. Scariness just didn't exist here. Story or any kind of structure wasn't well thought out either.
And sadly:

We know how scare Yami Shibai can be, and I hope we will get another episode like "Death Day" or "Bean Throwing" next week.

It would be nice if they dropped something like "this is why you shouldn't study all night", but the spooky part is parent laughing... and that's it? That's not horror, it's just awkward.

Yeah, didn't make any sense. I could guess that the father saw something outside that drove him crazy, but why would the mother be laughing?

The weakest season out of all 8 imo. Weak stories, no creepy monsters... even voice actors don't care. I mean laughing should have been scary/hysterical but it didn't feel like that at all. Maybe I am just nitpicking, but I miss first seasons' quality.

One of the worst episodes yet and I mean out of all seasons. Made no sense, had zero correlation to the characters. End was just idiotic.

I get that they're leaving much to our imagination but could they show us the monster/ghost/whatever it is even once?

I didn't get it but I thought the laughing was creepy, that's more than I can say about the previous episodes.
Season's been dogshit, only the second episode was good.

This episode reminds me of a horror manga I read where a pair of female comedians were using demons to force people to laugh at their bad jokes. I think uncontrollable laughter looks scarier in manga-form than in anime.

I thought it had potential at the beginning to maybe be the best of the season, but that quickly devolved into the worst of the season. The "deranged" laughing of the parents were such a lame excuse for a scary finish. And to think people wanted episode 2 to show the thing posing as the dead mother, when Yami Shibai has to rely on the visuals to effectively scare, it always fail.

I wish I could say this was laughably bad, but I didn't even chuckle. I was just disappointed at how lame this one turned out.

This was scary until the parents started laughing like maniacs too, then it became funny..

This seems to be a theme with Yami Shibai, decent concept but very poor execution.

This one was good, some people said that they didn't understand it but I guess their minds are only set up to expect as "jumpscare" equals creepy and is not the case, I'd shit my pants if I start hearing someone at night laughing and when I tell my parents about it they start laughing too, I'll think I'm going crazy and that's scary as fuck, or even there is an entity that is fucking with me and my family and I cannot do nothing to prevent it being helpless is scary even more if you don't know what could it be that is threatening you.

This episode was really unnerving to me, goddamn.
I'd straight up shit myself if I was in that boys position.
