Yami Shibai actually is not bad. It may be rated G, but it can get insanely creepy at times. The stories are also well written, unique, and diverse. They are the type of short stories that stick with you. I also like how most of the ending mainly implied, but open to interpretation.

I don't care much for the artwork. It is very artistic. The animation mimics kamishibai well. It's just a little too different for my taste. It has a semi realist style too it. It kind of blurs the border as to what defines an anime at times. On the bright ... side, it does make it creepier.

The music for this one is awesome! It really enhances/brings Yami Shibai to life. Honestly, it probably would not be that creepy without it. The voice acting not bad also. For me, the best thing about this anime is the ending theme. I am a huge Vocaloid fan. Miku was perfect at the end. I sometimes remember to watch this just becouse I like the ending.

The characters are just characters in this anime. They weren't meant to stand out, and they don't. They are usually only in one episode a piece, so you don't actually get to see much of there personality. They usually react like normal people to the situations, though.

It's definitely different than most anime, but definitely worth at least checking out if your a fan of horror. It's not something I would not re watch at the same time (the surprises are what makes it worth watching). For only five minutes an episode, you can't go wrong.

I had such high hopes for Miyakawa-ke no Kuufuku, and they sure did disappoint. It can barely hold a candle to Lucky Star. The series is about a really poor family of sisters as they talk about how poor, and hungry they are. Meanwhile, the older sister is an otaku that show no resistance to splurging on anime merchandise. That's basically every episode. I found myself wishing the last episode would just arrive.

The artwork was actually quite good, but not outstanding either. The artwork is close to the original cute, simple artwork of Lucky Star. In fact, there is at ... least one scenario where the two animes take place at the same time, and place. It also has other smaller reference to Lucky Star.

The sound is okay, I don't really recall any background music at all during any of the episodes. The ending them was also just okay. I found the two main characters voices kind of annoying at times too.

I found almost all of the characters very similar to each other. They all seemed to lack in personality. I found this kind of sad regarding the show only had like seven characters.

This is one I've been waiting… the humor. I was so glad this series was short. Those jokes were terrible. It was the same thing every episode. I was expecting hilarious, random humor. What I got was a little girl complaining about food problems. Meanwhile, her older sister spent all their money on anime. This was the same thing rewrapped in every single episode. It was saddening. There are so many better routes they could've gone down.

In conclusion, unless you're a diehard Lucky Star fan, I would advise you to consider something else. Being a fan of Kyoto Animation, overall I felt disappointed, and bored. I was really hoping on writing an awesome, long review, but sadly it was dull ,and didn't have much content(mainly because every episode was pretty much the same. Never the less, I will end on a positive note. The artwork did not disappoint.
