while it wasn't scary it was honestly just sad.
sure the episodes don't have to be scary all the times but man this just is on some sad levels.

That was sad.
Everytime a child is involved there are two options: cursed or depressing end.

This is my fav chapter of this season, at the moment.

I enjoyed this episode but I feel like over time a lot of the episodes lose the horror aspect and are just left into interpretation. Which is not a bad thing but at the same time it makes me think that horror is on the decline.

Wow... :/ This was so depressing episode, but I really liked the story in this one.

This has been a good season so far.

My interpretation was the child was trying to prevent his dad from dying... Thats sad if that is truly what the story is.

While I enjoyed the last episode for the comedic punchline, I enjoyed this episode for the more somber tones. This season is on the upswing it seems, as I enjoyed both this last episodes.

The only issue with this one, is I'm not quite sure what the deal with Naomi's bobbing head, was Kiyoto trying to communicate with them through her? I don't know, seemed sort of creepy for creepy sake. The impression I got at the end was definitely that Kiyoto was trying to warn his father, thus the slumped head once he realizes he feels. For the limited movement options of a Papier-mâché tiger, they did a good job of communicating emotion through it.

I tend to find after season one, Yami Shibai does better when it isn't going for straight horror, it's the main reason season six is my favourite season because there's more variety in the stories it tells (and in the endings, they didn't all end with death). After season 1, Yami Shibai has been largely bad at building tension well, but they tend to do pretty well when it comes to constructing these types of tales.

Some ppl say this was the son but i honestly thought it was something else just toying with the father. If it was the son, rip. But, if not, oof.

That was sad. When I heard tires screeching I was like: "Oh No" *CRASH SOUND AND THE DRAWING FALLS* Oh.

That poor son. But at least they can be together.

@FireRifle64 I think it was the son. At the end the paper tiger hung its head down like it was sad.
