Theatre of Darkness: Yamishibai has been quietly earning a loyal audience, and right now it's all available in Australia on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel, and in the US on Crunchyroll and Crunchyroll Amazon Channel. Kanji Tsuda leads a cast that brings something genuine to every episode.
Originally commissioned by AT-X, Theatre of Darkness: Yamishibai quickly became exactly the kind of show that viewers rearrange their evenings for. 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 series ran for 16 seasons (2013–2026), building a story that gave its audience time to invest properly.
Animation fans will appreciate the craft, but Theatre of Darkness: Yamishibai works equally well for viewers who don't typically seek out animated series — fans of The Adventures of the Little Prince will feel at home. The medium is secondary to the quality.
