Broadcast Accident
During the broadcast of Season 5, Bilibili had an incident where Episode 5 "Woman's Shadow" had subtitles for Episode 5 but the video was actually Episode 4 "Imitation". To this day, some pirated anime sites still have the broadcast accident version of Episode 5 "Woman's Shadow". Additionally, Bilibili's translation of Episode 10 "Flower Divination" had an error, mistranslating the divination girl's line "止む、止まない" as "rain, not rain".
Deleted "Black Wedding Dress"
During the broadcast of Season 5, some users on Tieba and Bilibili's comment sections claimed that the original Episode 8 of Season 5 was a story called "Black Wedding Dress"[24][25][26]. Due to content violations, it was suspended for a week, and a new story titled "Neighbor" was produced and placed as Episode 8. According to recollections from Tieba users at the time, someone even posted pictures, but the original post can no longer be found. The Japanese title of "Black Wedding Dress" is unknown, and no mentions of it by Japanese audiences can be found on platforms like Twitter. In 2026, a viewer inquired about the truth of this matter on the X account of Kumamoto Hirotake, who was an assistant director at the time. Kumamoto only liked the message but did not reply[27]. Similarly, during the broadcast of Season 7, some Tieba users claimed that a theatrical version would be released at the end of 2019[28], but it never materialized (some believe the live-action version replaced it). Information about the theatrical version cannot be found on platforms like Twitter or the official website.
and Kagegiru
"Kagegiru" shares a similar style with "Yamishibai," and its director and scriptwriter are also Takashima Tomoya (chief director of "Yamishibai Season 1") and scriptwriter Kumamoto Hirotake, respectively. Many viewers mistakenly believe "Kagegiru" was produced by ILCA, but the actual production company is Tomovies, which was founded by Takashima Tomoya after leaving ILCA, together with like-minded individuals.
Notes
- ↑ Refer to the official English translation released on YouTube.
- ↑ Although Kenichi Sugimoto is listed in the staff credits on the Season 10 official website, he is not included in the staff lists released by the agency or the ending theme singer's website, nor is his name in the ending credits of the actual episodes. Therefore, whether Sugimoto served as the director for Season 10 remains uncertain.
- ↑ Around October 2020, likely due to thematic reasons, the entire series was removed from major platforms. For a period afterward, searching for "Yamishibai" on some video platforms would display content containing prohibited text. Uploads on Bilibili were also rejected or locked due to containing non-compliant or unsuitable material. Some explanatory videos omitted the words "Yamishibai" from their titles to pass review.
- ↑ The official YouTube channel occasionally makes certain episodes available for a limited time, excluding Episodes 1 and 13.
- ↑ Tweet posted by Takashima Tomoya in 2017.
