| [Intruder/The Long Hair in the Attic] Well now I know that Intruder is much less interesting when presented in isolation, without the other Oshikiri tales. I'm agreeing less and less with the choices & selection made in this season. They also abridged Long Hair somewhat. And that teeth-grinding sounded more like glass than teeth ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ . The stories in these 2-in-1 episodes tend to suffer adaptation-wise. |

| Didn't like the first half, but the hair in the attic thing was kinda impressive ! |
| Yeah the 1st story seemed like it was something out of the middle of a longer story or arc. The hair thing was creepy! |
| The intruder one felt so short. I wanted to see more. What if the "intruder" was those four? Second half is one of my favorites. That was really creepy. |

| Hah, the hair story was one of the more unsettling short stories, they definitely did a good job there. |
| The second story in this episode was the first one in the series that could be called horroristic. |
 |
| That second story…. Holy crap… I think I’m going to have nightmares from it. Creepy AF. |
| omg again like the last couple I feel like this one gave me an insight into what Ito was maybe thinking when he wrote one of these (the hair story particularly) Having dated a girl with long hair, you start to find their hair all over the house and even on your body & even when they're not around, basically long hair gets everywhere. Even after a breakup you can continue to find that ex spouses hair dotted around the place, and it's like their presence is still there and a reminder of them. Obviously this is just a complete assumption but it made me feel like Ito likely came up with that hair story after experiencing this, and thought what if this leftover hair became malevolent, took over and decided to extract revenge! |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| I wish the parallel universe stories didn't end that abruptly, 2nd one was creepy, especially with the gnashing sound |
 |
| This was just terrible. Nothing of Junji Ito's work is captured in these animated version. I keep imagining the story I read in manga form. The details in his animations, the suspense in mini panels, the 'page turner' to the unveiling of a horrific sight. All that is absent here. Every time I hope the anime does the suspense/unveiling moments better but in reality im just bored stiff. I have high hopes for the Uzumaki anime, which looks like they actually try to capture the essence of Junji's work |
| 2nd part was creepy.. especially when the head started coming down the attic, stairs and eventually going after her ex damn |
| That hair story is very creepy... |

on 
| those were both pretty solid, digging how the filter used is different for every story |
| I liked the Hair story more. They really need to space out the stories 1 story for 1 episode. It's hard to become invested otherwise. |
 |
| First part felt like a prologue of a story. Second part was creepy, but I was wondering what's the cause of her death. Felt bad for the father though. |
| I really wanna know what happened with first story, did oshikiri bury all his friends? Because he was the only one burying at the end. What was the intruder doing there all alone at the end? Also why was oshikiri getting the intruder out of his grave and apologizing? Ahh I wanna know |
| Two new shorts! The first, about a boy that heart steps in his house and discover some terrorific in the garden zone. Weak to my taste! The second, about the hair, alive hair, it was cool, especially because the hair went with the head!!! kekeke |
| Hair episode was really good. Best short story yet |
