When I first saw this show was horror I was looking forward to watching it but I was also worried as it is a hard genre to do well and even more so in anime. I ended up watching all the episodes in one go and I am writing this right after finishing the final episode. Let me just say I am a huge fan of horror if its in books, movies or anime and it is pretty hard to scare me as I have watched horror for so long now. That said this show did manage to creep me out. I think it helpsas every episode is only 3 minutes long so it does not keep you waiting ages for the reveal and it keeps you attention. Also using the internet, and electronics gives it more of a creepy feeling as they are things we all use all the time and in the show there is no real reason told to us why it is happening, it makes you feel as if what is happening to some of the people could happen to you. The show makes me think of telling stories around a campfire, they are short and scary, and it works. I really enjoyed this show, a lot more then I thought I would, and I really hope for a second series.

If you are looking for a short anime you can marathon in one night, you should take Kowabon into consideration. You can't only watch it in one night, you can watch all of it in one-episode-worth of time. Each episode is short, about 3 minutes. The people who were watching Kowabon while it was still running might have done the show wrong. I admit I did it wrong but not very much. It can be easily misunderstood because the story doesn't show clearly unless you watch all the episodes back to back. It'sa horror story and I was going to say something but I'm afraid it's kinda a spoiler. All I can say: heads up for cameras. It took me the whole series to realize what was going on. If you want to scare yourself a little, Kowabon can do that. One last piece of advice, do not watch the ending theme unless you want to see the actors behind the scenes. Many people complained about the ending, They said it kills the feeling the show leaves. You want to see what comes after the ending in episode 13 though. I gave it 6/10 and perhaps if the episodes were longer, I would give it more. It's not that amazing but it doesn't disappoint either. That's all for Kowabon. Please consider watching it and enjoy.
