 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Everybody loves a good horror story, don't they? Well, maybe they got a little more than they wished for in this...A rather peculiar animated series from Japan, Yami Shibai (also known as Yamishibai: Japanese Ghost Stories or Theater of Darkness) is a compendium of short horror stories based off Japanese folklore and urban legends, as told by an old man to the kids in a playground, through the paper theater (or "kamishibai"). All eight seasons are currently available on Crunchyroll for international viewers with a ninth season out this month. Oh, and there's also live action adaptations as well.

comment
 Artifact Title: In season 3, the original intro with the paper theater and the old man is replaced with a child drawing in a sketchbook on the playground, so the pun about "Kamishibai" no longer makes sense. Then the season 3 finale reveals that the boy was the old man all along. However, it's back for seasons 4 onwards.

 Animation Bump: The only bit of conventional animation in the first season is from "Tormentor", which helps to illustrate who is being affected by a particular curse.

 ...And That Little Girl Was Me: The season 3 finale reveals that the child narrator from the third season is actually the old man narrator from the first two.

 Art Evolution: Season 3 has notably better drawn character models, though still with the iconic stop motion animation. Once again in Season 4, to the point that some episodes look more like mainstream anime aside from the stop motion.
