Yami Shibai 11

Well, its a bit difficult with this one. Its not shitty or something like that, but its definitely unique. The anime is based on little horror stories.
Story: 9/10
The plot of them is enjoyable and really interesting.
Characters: 7/10
I think, because of the length of the episodes, they characters are not really memorable, but still fitting enough.
Visuals: 7/10
Tthe art style is the special thing about yami shibai. The characters doesnt have any speaking animations and furthermore have limited movement animations, but not in a bad way. It makes it special and in my opinion, it gives the show a special touch and it makes it a bit ... more creepier.
Music/Sound: 8/10
The sounds were pretty fitting.
Overall Score: 8/10

Similar Shows: I highly recommed watching the junji ito collection. Junji Ito is one of the greatest mangaka in the horror genre and this show contains also short stories.


Overall, the different stories are all enjoyable and really fitting the horror stories genre, the art style makes it unique.

I used to love Yami Shibai. The first seasons had well made stories and some of them gave me quite a positive impression. But this season only confirmed to me something I've been considering about the late seasons of this series: they no longer have any creativity. I couldn't find a single episode scary or interesting. They are all either non-sensical, boring or just straight up stupid. There's almost no compelling atmosphere, the stories seem unfinished and the suspense is so poorly written that I caught myself rolling my eyes in frustration at the end of every episode, thinking "When will we have a good ... horror story?".

Yami Shibai 11 is the latest installment of the horror anime series that uses the traditional Japanese storytelling technique of kamishibai. However, unlike the previous seasons, this one fails to deliver any genuine scares or suspense. The stories are bland, predictable and often illogical, relying on cheap jump scares and clichéd tropes. The animation is also poor, with stiff movements and dull colors. The voice acting is mediocre at best, and the sound effects are overused and annoying. The only redeeming quality of this season is the opening theme song, which is catchy and eerie. Yami Shibai 13 is a waste of time for any ... horror fan, and it shows that the series has become more and more inconsistent and uninspired.
