Yamishibai Season 11 Release Date
Theatre of Darkness or Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories is an original anime series directed by Tomoya Takashima. It was produced by ILCA and the episodes were made in such a way that they would follow the originality of Kamishibai’s method of storytelling.
Unlike other anime episodes which usually last for 30 minutes, these episodes only last for a few minutes as it’s a series of collection of short stories featuring mostly the urban legends, myths, and folktales of Japan.
The first season was aired in 2013 and there have been 10 seasons released as of now. The 11th season of Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories is set to premiere this summer 2023. If you want to know more about Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories and its plot then keep reading.
Yamishibai Plot & Expectations
The story of season 1 follows Kamishibaiya ir Kamishibai narrator, an old man wearing a yellow mask who always shows up at a children’s playground at 5 pm and tells ghost and mythical stories of Japan.
The man not only reveals dark secrets, and black magic but; also the creepy urban legends that would give you chills to the spine. He not only narrates, the story but; also shows them to the children using a traditional Kamishibai (paper drama) method.
But in 3rd season, we see a boy in the form of Kamishibai instead of the old man who sings “Friends on that side, come to this side… Friends on this side, go to that side…” while drawing illustrations of his stories.
In Season 4, the original Kamishibaiya is back and follows the same format as Seasons 1 and 2. In Season 5, children instead of playing or swinging in the swings are seen calling the old man in silhouette, the format changes in Season 5 again.
In Season 6 we see that; the old man tells them his stories in a forest instead of a school. This time the old man is a shadow who has taken a form of a human and in Season 7 he tells his stories in a creepy apartment.
The scenes and format keep changing from season to season, and it is been said that the finale was based on Hyakumonogatari Kaidankai.
