| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Wow! This episode was okay, compared to the rest that was Yami Shibai 8. Another season concluded. At least they made an end of it with a sleepwalker who did not know the reason for his decent untidy room. But it still doesn't take away the fact that this season was yet another disappointment for the horror genre... A disappointment. 4/10 |
| Last episode was ok . But overall it wasn't impressive most of the story's were lame or fail to hit the mark. But I did like the snow monster episode . IMO it was easily the best and felt like a horror And I give it 4/10 |
 |
| is the last kid on the photo the storyteller? |
| I'll watch any number of upcoming Yami Shibai seasons (4 minutes a week isn't anything special), but this one was probably the weakest of the franchise |
 |
| Love this series. Another meh season, Ep 2 is the best one. |
 |
| Well, this ended on a high note at least, not a bad last episode |
| Surprisingly not bad, but it's literally the "you need to let me go" meme. 4/10 for the season, I guess it's a good place to drop the series. |
| I'll agree that most of the episodes were pretty lame but i still think this season was at least okay. And that's somewhat of achievement because S2-S7 have all been pretty bad. Usually i watch news season to see how much shittier the series can get. I wonder what the hell happened between S1 and S2. |
| The episode itself was fine, possibly even my favourite of the bunch. There was nothing I thought detracted from it, and I think the ending was pretty well-done. Kido did seem more creepy than the sleeptalking, and so it wasn't much surprised that they connected together, but I thought the thing with the picture worked as a good concluding note. That said, this is the worst season in a good while. Seasons 5-7 were all stronger than this one. This is the most bland season of all of Yami Shibai tbh. I don't think any episode here comes close to the best, but on the other hand, none of them quite get as bad as the worst. There are certainly obviously writing/directing stumbles throughout, but I don't think anything as egregious as 3's monster design focus or 4's over-reliance on narration. Even the worst episodes of seasons 5-7 feel significantly worse than anything in Season 8. 4/10 for me, though I did consider a 3/10. For Seasons 1-4, my ratings had gotten progressively worse. For seasons 6-8, my ratings had gotten progressively worse. Will Season 9 continue the trend or will it be the next trend bucker like season 5 and be an improvement. I don't have much faith in the latter, but if nothing else, I hope it's more interesting next time. |
| Yet another lackluster season. :/ Season 1 and 6 have been the only decent ones in my book. |

| Ngl, this was a bit of a weak finale imo, I think the setup was good and unsettling with the dude being told he’s sleepwalking and then setting up a camera to capture the night activities, but then the episode ended in a really confusing way. So his friend disappeared from the photo, then told the dude he’s next, and then he disappeared also, because he was sleepwalking? What? I guess the idea is that it’s rooted to letting go of the past and I like the theme there (if I’m getting that right) but the execution imo was just unsatisfying and like I already said, kinda confusing. Yeah I think I’m with some others here that this was overall a weaker season, the first one I’ve given a 6/10 since Season 4, and that’s above average to me, not the worst of scores, because like all of Yamishibai this series is easy to watch and fun even if the episodes aren’t great, but that still puts it lower than most of the seasons for me, and I think that’s because a lot of the stories in this one relied on “tell don’t show”, which for some episodes it worked but others just left you feeling blue balled, a shame too because a lot of them had good setups but just fumbled the endings. That being said, as always I had my favorite episodes of the season, they were “Death Day”, “Don’t Look Back”, “Catch of the Day”, “Viewing”, and “Footprints in the Snow”. I also liked the ED a lot this season, it was another chill one which kinda conflicts with the spooky vibe but I think it contrasts nicely. |
