This kind of reminds me of that Twilight Zone movie with John Lithgow where he sees that creature on the side of the plane. Creepy.

The episodes are getting less scary from episode to episode.
Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho

This was pathertic, it wasnt even remotely scary. After the initial shock from seeing this creature was gone the whole episode was just looking at how grotesque it looks, wheres the horror in that?

1/5, it really does get less creepy with every episode.

Gross and creepy! I think that lump of flesh he saw was the one who got into an accident. Since he keep on complaining about his life, that thing took advantage of it and thought of possessing his body - just a speculation.

Yeah, that lump of flesh was probably something that took advantage of the negativity of some people, and then made them kill themselves.

I didn't really get the meaning behind this episode... I mean it looks like they weren't even trying to make it scary or anything, the guy just sat there and accepted his fate thinking he was hallucinating.

This show seriously needs a bigger budget... You could tell how lackluster the art in this episode in specific was... Way too crowded on that train.

I don't think that's too far off the mark.

I don't think its the guy from the accident, but some evil thing that CAUSES the accidents. Remember, the ladies were talking about how accidents were common at that part of the line. It seems to have taken advantage of his tiredness/negativity to possess him. how it LOOKS is only a small part of what's going on, but wondering what will happen to him now that he's doomed to be the next accident/suicide on the line....

still wasnt nearly as creepy as some of the others so far though

edit: and THEN I see the post two above mine saying the same thing...go me for being observant.... :-P

This wasn't scary at all. Just gross. I guess the point of this episode wasn't about scaring but about showing us how much negativity can destroy people.
The other people on the train are carefree, they just care about tiny things and have less worries, that's why they don't see the monster.

So people, be positive in life. At least, I've interpreted it like this.

Yeah, Japanese horror is extremely different compared to what we consider "horror".

Not as good because it's so obvious this time, not much suspense or anything, but it's something different.
Now what I'd be interested in is if they don't consider it an illusion.

I think I still like the elevator one the best.

episodes are getting quite lame now, sick of listening to jap men whining about their work, couldn't wait to see that guy die (at least I hope he did), what a wank
I preferred previous episodes where they were innocent people who just had bad things happened to them, the last 2 episodes, those two guys are annoying to watch

This anime isn't even creepy. At the end of each episode you, well I, feel nothing. Very disappointing.

this one sucked, they could of done something alot more creepy with it by playing around with the use of the dark lighting and possibly picking off passengers but no they decided to just have the monster only slowly eat the main dude. it was boring

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me
