Theatre of Darkness: Yamishibai 3 · review
In my opinion, by far the best of all seasons. While the first focused mostly on ghosts and the second on disappointing the viewers, the third season focuses on the horror of inescapable situations, that in my never-humble opinion, scores much higher than ghosts. There's really not much else to say about it. If you're new to the series I suggest watching the first season, then this (the 3rd) and skipping entirely on the second. Each episode is about 5 minutes long (including opening and surprisingly wacky ending) and each story stands on its own, with the typical hand-puppet Yami Shibai art style, which youreally start digging after a while.
Pros:
-Better than 1st and 2nd seasons.
-Typical Yami Shibai creepy art style at its finest.
-Good horror that relies less and less on jumpscares.
-That rap at the end.
-Creepy things happening for unknown reasons.
Cons:
-...Creepy things happening for unknown reasons? Mystery is kind of a double-edged knife.
