The TV anime "Yami Shibai" returns in July with its thirteenth season, and the key visual as well as preview images have been revealed to the public. This new season promises a mix of nostalgia and novelty under the theme of "memory."
The key visual for "Yami Shibai Season 13" brings to life the eerie and atmospheric style the series is known for. Kanji Tsuda, who has voiced the role of the "old man" in every season, will continue his role as the narrator. The cast also includes Kotomi Takahata, Taro Nino, Shinji Matsubayashi, Yu Shimizu, Takaya Yamauchi, Yuta Hoshino, Risa Aizawa (from Dempagumi.inc), and Ringo Koi (from Band Ja Nai Mon! MAXX NAKAYOSHI).
The series' scriptwriters include long-time contributors such as Hiromu Kumamoto, Mitsuyuki Sasaki, Choji Yoshikawa, and Saori Aoki, with Dan Kosano joining for the first time. The animation is handled by artists like Jimmy, Momoka Higurashi, Hiroshi & Rie Nishiyama, Yu Ebihara, Shino Hongo, Makoto Okada, and Norio Yamakawa. Akira Funada returns as director, having previously directed the earlier seasons. Producer Norio Yamakawa expressed his gratitude to the viewers and creators, mentioning: "Every time I feel like it's time to stop, the warm words from our viewers and the passion of our creators keep us going. Here we are at Season 13. Will you stay with us a little longer?"
"Yami Shibai" is a horror short anime series centered around urban legends, presented in the style of traditional Japanese "kamishibai" (paper theater) but enhanced through digital means. The show has a retro Showa-era feel that makes it unique in the modern anime world. The "Yami Shibai" YouTube channel regularly streams episodes from Seasons 1 to 12, as well as spin-offs and original online content.
