EPISODE REVIEWS

Honored Ancestors is worth watching. As for Circus Comes to Town, I would rather read the manga instead.

looovve Honored Ancestors, the connected heads imagery is the stuff of nightmares. Risa's segment has potential but loses steam midway. uneven ep but Honored Ancestors alone makes it worth it

Episode Context

Sitting at the two-thirds mark of this 12-episode anthology, Episode 8 follows Episode 7's cursed objects and disorienting towns by pivoting toward the horror embedded in personal relationships and public spectacle. The series continues its pattern of pairing thematically complementary stories, steadily escalating the psychological unease. Episode 9 will push further into obsession and supernatural consequence, making this installment a tonal bridge between the collection's middle stretch and its darker final act.
