a.k.a. Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories
Director: Tomoya Takashima
Screenplay: Hiromu Kumamoto
Voice Cast: Kanji Tsuda as the
Story teller
A Night of a Thousand Horror
(Shows)/A 1000 Anime Crossover
The review linked to below comes with knowledge that, starting in 2013 and with more series being produced up to 2024 itself, Yamishibai may still continue into 2025 onwards. Taking the tradition of kamishibai, a form of paper play storytelling and theatre, and amalgamating it in a "micro-series" with urban legends, ghost tales and moments of general spooky misanthropy, it won me over. tIn mind that future series will even tie into cult cinema, with Noboru Iguchi (The Machine Girl (2008)) and Takashi Shimizu (the Ju-On/the Grudge franchise) getting involved from the second series onwards, and I cannot wait to get to the future series.
