Episode 1: Final Episode<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Plot<\/strong>: A man who studies urban legends heads to a village where all of the inhabitants seemingly vanished after watching an altered version of the final episode of a kids\u2019 TV show.<\/p>\n

Breakdown<\/strong>: ANIMATING HALLOWEEN!!<\/p>\n

NEW SEASONS OF YAMI SHIBAI!!<\/p>\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n

So we start off by giving me a heart attack with that title. Seriously, Yami Shibai<\/em>? Don\u2019t do that to me. I get way too much mileage out of you during October. I can\u2019t take that hit. There are only so many animated Halloweeny things in the world to review. I need you. You need me.<\/p>\n

The actual opener to this season is rather drab. It\u2019s just the Storyteller calling the kids to watch the show as always. There\u2019s some slight alteration to the audio to make it creepier, but it\u2019s very blah.<\/p>\n

As for the episode itself, it feels straight out of a creepypasta, and I am here for it.<\/p>\n

The art style for this one is so good. It\u2019s simplistic but also eerily detailed to give it a real uncanny valley vibe. The setup is interesting and creepy, and I was gripped the entire time.<\/p>\n

My lone issue is that the episode could have cut off the final shot. I think it makes the episode just a bit too goofy. But it\u2019s not that bad.<\/p>\n

The ED for this season is okay. YS has a habit of me not really being into their ED of the season until I\u2019m nearly done with it, but I dunno if it will happen here. The accompanying animation is just the Storyteller hanging out in a park waiting for kids to gather round, and they do, and they just sit there waiting for hours and hours and hours, with one girl spinning the entire time, and then the trademark clock falls and breaks. It\u2019s okay.<\/p>\n

Really solid start to the season, and I\u2019m jazzed for what\u2019s coming.<\/p>\n

Episode 2: Research Results<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n

Plot<\/strong>: After returning from summer break, Naoki has to turn in his independent research project. But all he writes is \u201cHe won\u2019t come back to life.\u201d After investigating at Naoki\u2019s house, his teacher realizes Naoki has done something horrible, and the ramifications of his actions continue to plague him.<\/p>\n

Breakdown<\/strong>: \u201cSometimes, dead is better.\u201d<\/p>\n

Okay, so this isn\u2019t just Pet Sematary<\/em>. It is different. But I wanted to make that quote so nyah.<\/p>\n

Hahah, get it? Nyah?<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll get it.<\/p>\n

This episode wasted no time on getting to the creepy part, but it was also one of those episodes where you spend more time going \u201cWtf?\u201d than being actually scared or creeped out. It\u2019s definitely a decent episode with some creepy artwork, but it wasn\u2019t a top tier YS episode.<\/p>\n\n

If you enjoy my horrifying work and would like to show your ghoulish support, please consider offering a financial sacrifice at my Ko-Fi altar. Every offering goes to helping me combat evil money-sucking vampires known as \u2018bills\u2019 and keep this blog from becoming a ghost. Thank you! \ud83c\udf83<\/p>\n
