紙芝居の時間だよ。


Welcome to the spookiest thread in ADTRW, the Yamishibai thread! Yamishibai is a small show, with episodes lasting roughly 5 minutes and with 13 episodes per season. It's an anthology show in the style of traditional Japanese paper craft. Except this paper show is all about ghosts, urban legends and monsters! Season 1 was great and Season 2 is even better! You can see both seasons on Crunchyroll, with new episodes premiering every Sunday at 2:30 PM. And the ending theme for both seasons is Vocaloid, so your friend Hatsune Miku will sing away your fear!

The only constant in the series is the storyteller pictured above who always makes sure to leave the kids in the local playground with a good scare!

(Real Talk: Please watch this show. It's really really good and very underrated. I wanted to post a clip of the intro to every episode, but there is nothing on youtube because no one cares. The animation is gorgeous; they actually take the time to put in realistic film grain to make it look like a 70s movie. The show really does look like little paper figures moving across a painted background. That's Criterion level stuff. Please reward ILCA for its very hard work.)

is this like japanese goosebumps?

Sort of. It's a bit scarier than Goosebumps, but it has a lot of the same flavor. It's also more overtly Japanese with a lot of Ring and Ju-On-esque moments.

New episode is good! Russian nesting dolls are universally creepy.

Making my way through them, and while a lot of them have been good, the umbrella ghost one I just saw now felt so drat cheap.

Like the kid managed to keep the thing out all night, basically did everything within his power, and the ghost just says gently caress it and gets him anyway.

I mean what kind of ghost appears in the day?


He had already let the ghost in by letting his "friend" in earlier in the night.

so the ghost was just loving with him the whole night? because it was clearly outside the house for a great deal of it.

What I took from it is that it was killing the others in the house while he stood guard. If it hadn't had sat outside the entire time, the kid would have gotten suspicious and called for the others.

I do not understand the train episode.

The thing in the overhead compartment is the one causing all the accidents and the tired man is the latest victim.

Latest episode is not really that scary! Ah, a weird thing attacked the lady across the street! And then it attacked the main character. It just feels so vanilla, there's nothing really chilling about it. Last week's episode was so great, so this was kind of a disappointment...

It's a pretty normal horror plot, and I enjoyed it because freaky spider ladies are cool.

The new episode is good! I kind of expected a bit of gore when the guy started screaming, but I didn't see him turning into a black cube coming.
