you really feel the dread when she is standing at the front door and then everything changes so fast and the art style for her character design is top tier

hearing the phone ring and then that long silence before she spoke again was so creepy and it made the payoff at the end feel earned

the voice acting when Mary says she is right behind you made my skin crawl and then the visuals just went in a completely different direction than I expected

I was actually shaking when Mary kept calling and getting closer but then the way things shifted once she got to the door was so intense and hot

that Mary doll urban legend always creeped me out as a kid and seeing it turned into this is a total trip plus the animation during the reveal was actually really smooth

Hachishaku-sama appearing again was a nice touch and the Mary stuff lived up to the urban legend hype without being too scary

I felt bad for Mary when they showed her being thrown away, but the way the episode turned that into a weirdly romantic encounter worked for me

This version of Mary just wanting love was a good way to wrap this up, and seeing her interact with the guy after all the buildup with the phone calls made for a solid finale. The animation during the climax was way better than the earlier episodes, and I like how they didn't forget the horror roots

It felt a bit rushed trying to fit everyone in at the end but the Mary scenes had a lot of detail and the supernatural atmosphere stayed consistent

The way Mary looks in this episode is top tier and I have been waiting for her since the very first episode

Mary getting some love after being thrown away was the highlight and that ending really tied the whole urban legend theme together nicely

The art style for Mary's porcelain skin looked great and the way they handled the supernatural elements during the spicy scenes was better than expected

That phone call from Mary gives me the creeps even when it leads to something else and the transition from scary to romance was handled pretty well

Mary being a discarded doll made that final sequence feel different than the others and the way she attaches herself to him was actually kind of sweet in a messed up way

I liked seeing all the girls come together for the finale because Hachishaku-sama is still the best one but Mary had a really good showing to end the series on

That swallowed cell phone bit was actually hilarious and weirdly hot at the same time and the supernatural ladies are all top tier waifus

Hachishaku-sama had such a presence and seeing her towering over everyone was the highlight of the episode for me. I love how they combined the horror elements with the romance scenes because it feels so different from other series. My favorite part was the guessing game at the end because trying to figure out which legend was real felt like a cool way to engage us.

Everyone talking over the main guy was so annoying and I just wanted him to finish the story about the boo hag without the other characters interrupting him constantly

I thought the whole bit with the doberman was kind of boring compared to the other urban legends and it dragged on way too long before the girl actually got into the action

EPISODE CONTEXT

Sitting at the series' midpoint as episode 4 of 6, this installment follows Episode 3's take on the towering Hasshaku-sama legend and pivots to the intimate, phone-based dread of Mary's Phone Call, showcasing the anthology's tonal range. Each episode operates as a self-contained adaptation, so no prior context is required, but returning viewers will notice the series consistently deepening its folklore catalog. With only two episodes remaining, the anthology is now in its final stretch and likely building toward its most recognizable urban legend adaptations.
