Overview
Akin to TV Tokyo's Folktales from Japan, Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories takes a narrative format to explore the rich occult history from Japan, moreover, the storytelling techniques in this brand new series will mimic kamishibai – a traditional storytelling technique inspired by the artistic usage of paper figures and scrolls. "Yamishibai is a picture-story style of animation whose motif is surrounded and based off the rumors, and urban legends throughout the history of Japan".
The deliberately casual book animation and short format fit well into the concept of folklore, urban legends and horror stories.
It's like reading a book of scary tales yourself.
PS: as noted in the comment above, the third season is indeed already underway. I watched 3 episodes. but for some reason, the page has not been updated here...
