Wasn't the series already killed when the second season and oward passed by? I think it was due to the way it handled its stories from what I got from the complaints.

Though once again I might go and check it out when I get the chance to.

I hope they learn from their mistake in fourth season and don't make the narrator to tell everything what is happening like you're stupid, Yami Shibai 4th Season had some good stories that were destroyed by the constant distraction of the narrator telling you everything

Haven't the latter seasons been horrible? Why are they making more?? (Rhetorical)

The stories suck and the execution is terrible. That's why people are hating on this right now. The first season was great (in my opinion). Second season wasn't as good. Third and fourth season got worse and worse. The constant, unnecessary narration and the live action scenes in season four are why I hate on it. It has gone from a rating of 7.21 in the first season down to a 5.47 in the fourth.

I mean I'm fine with this, I don't know why are so many people butthurt, true the stories are not that scary, but I doubt they're even supposed to be, its more like children's stuff, plus we're getting some unique show.

Really glad about S5.

I hope it's better than seasons 2-4.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

The thing is if you set the bar high in the first season with quality spooky stories, it's sad that with every new season it's getting worse.

And goosebumps was also children stuff and most of the stories were legit scary, so that argument can't be used.

Considering that was just another season of this but rename, yeah, probably.
This is getting close to 1/10 levels.

The previous season was unimpressive imo. Hope the new season will be better.

...I can't believe I'm giving this another chance, but I really want to check it out because of the scripts written by female writers. I doubt that a change of gender will improve anything, but I need proof of that statement by actually watching it! For real though, after this one, no more chances-- including works of similar nature by the same directors (Sekai no Yami Zukan).

I mean, the series already went to shit so theoretically it can only get better with another season so I'm not complaining. The only good seasons were the first and third.

i may be in the minority on this one, but for me seasons 1 and 3 were my favorites. 2 was okay and i can't find a soul who enjoyed / actually managed to watch season 4. i have some hope riding on it to be good, but if not i have 29 other shows to watch so missing 1 won't hurt me.
