Step right up and have a look… at why Yami Shibai season 3 doesn't live up to the first 2 seasons

Being a big fan of the first two seasons of Yami Shibai I was super excited when i heard that there would be a third installment in the series. It's sad to say however that it fell completely flat and lost somthing that the other seasons had.

Art: 7
You can tell from episode one that the art has drastically improved from the first two seasons and the animations that they do have in the show flow much more smoothly.

Sound: 8
The ed to the third seasons switched ... up from the vocaloid track and went with something that felt much more suited towards the genre of the show yet still keeping the electric vibe that I'm a fan of. it defiantly does its job of creeping me out for the 30 seconds it plays for.

Story: 4
Sadly the stories throughout the third season lost the creepy and eerie feeling that they had in the first season and even in most of the second season. The short stories this time around just seem dumb and fail to scare even in the slightest. I keep hoping each week that they come out with a story again that will give me chills like they did in the first two seasons. Sadly thus far I have been bored each week for four and a half minutes wondering if was worth it to come back next week. the only saving grace of the third season was the last episode which left me in awe when the series was over

overall: 6
Regardless of how much the art and sound have improved from the first two seasons the story is the most crucial factor in the horror genre (it can either be bad or good as long as it leaves an impression) which is where Yami Shibai season 3 falls flat. its overall boring and not memorable in the slightest except for the last episode. If your able to sit through 12 episodes of mediocre horror then you'll be rewarded with the last episode which in my opinion was a solid 8/10
