This is a sequel to the previous episode. It has the same creepy red eyes from before. It is still scary, but the story is much simpler and is based on the context from the previous one.
The black-and-white image, plus the many unknown people dancing, was creepy. The eyes in this animation are so scary, and the distorted, fuzzy screen while showing it was very intense. Story is quite confusing too.
Eerie music gave so much feels to the episode. The jump scare was so intense, I didn't expect it. I can't grasp the full context of the story though, it's quite confusing.
Holy cow! I didn’t expect that twist. That was insane and mind-blowing. The parents were funny in the beginning.
The anticipation when they were reversing the car was insane. I was so ready for a jump scare. The voice navigation at the end gave me goosebumps.
What the heck. The red eyes at the end are so scary that I think they will haunt me in real life. It was so embedded in my mind that it’s creeping me out. The story is simple, but it will leave a mark on you.
The fuzzy screen added to the episode’s scariness. The shadow leaving behind the girl was creepy. And the text messages at the end? They made my heart drop.
Even when we can’t see the scared faces of the people, we can feel it through their voices, and it’s insane how they can do that. The unknown girl from the last camera is terrifying.
My heart dropped when they said, “Take a look.” I never saw that coming. That was scary! The screen on the camcorder when something is already off was eerie. The change of colors and sounds was great.
First part was daytime, and the animation and sound were light and wholesome. What?! Shoko’s eyes at the end were really terrifying. The difference in sound from the first to the last was really something.
CCTV cam recording is creepy. The office afterhours is a scary place to experience this. The skull-like faces in the monitor is scary as hell.
The animation on the girl's face was realistic. When they showed the real person in the ending credits, it was exactly the same. The distorted sounds and animation really amaze me.
Background music was great; the anticipation that something might happen is scary in itself already. Fumi’s smiling face is quite creepy too. The distorted sounds and visuals make you nervous.
It doesn't really feel like an ending. The last scene is terrifying, but everything else seems uninteresting. Connecting it to the previous episode was a good idea, but they didn't really do anything interesting with it. It's a shame; this anime deserved a more impactful ending.
I guess this episode is about stalkers... I'm not sure. But it's fun to see the entity dancing so cutely. I don't have much else to say.
This episode is also strange. The truth is, even though I watched it a couple more times, I still couldn't figure out where the camera was coming from, how the friend could see it, why the music was so melancholic, and what the ending was about.
This episode is more strange than tense or terrifying. I think it feels unfinished. Although, I also get the impression that it's trying to give a little more detail about the "entity" that haunts the people in this anime. Let's hope that's the case; otherwise, this episode will end up being a waste of time.
I think this episode is more tense than scary, and while it was entertaining to see the rearview camera as part of the narrative, the final scare wasn't very well executed. But I don't think it's a problem with the concept; I think it's a problem with the pacing.
I really like seeing how they innovate with the types of cameras used to tell the story in each episode. In this one, they use a camera from the front door of the house. Special mention goes to the change in the "insurance lady's" expression; it was quite chilling.
This episode is incredibly unsettling. The video call mechanic is very well implemented and feels real, especially when the signal cuts out while Chika is running. The final scare is genuinely frightening.
