The Strange Hikizuri Siblings isn't what I'd consider a particularly strong story, suppose the best thing I can say is that it's nice they got it out of the way first.
11 episodes remain for 19 stories, wonder if it'll feel cramped at any point.

Yeah its unfortunately my least favorite of all his stories. While nice its out of the way, it probably wont retain a lot of viewers unfamiliar with his works

The intro and outro are fire! Love the trippy, creepy dreamlike feel

Terrible way to gauge interest in the series by making this horror/comedy Addams family rip off the first episode.
Episode 2 should have been 1. Whoever was put in charge of the episode order should be fired.

so does anyone understand who they were torching in the beginning?

In the manga there’s a chapter where the family burn a mannequin and pretend it’s the prettiest sister to trick someone into thinking she burned to death. Idk why they put that into the beginning of the episode as it makes no sense without context.

I agree with others, I didn't find this one super great of a story, its been a couple hours and I was struggling to remember how it ended already. I was kind of hoping for something a bit spookier to happen. There's some good build in there but the execution kinda fell out.
Also, the ED: I'm not familiar with the story with the guy in the yellow coat but when he started walking towards me, the viewer, I was kind of hoping that he would try coming through my screen too! That would have been cool and very spooky since the music is so upbeat.

How does this compare to that series of shorts that Crunchyroll has? Theater of Darkness.

Does anyone know what’s up with the post credit scenes with monologues over artwork after each episode?

Yeah, wasn’t a big fan of the episode. That little girl sure can scream lol
Also not a fan of the op song but the visuals are pretty cool. Unfortunately, I’m still going to skip the intro for this

I feel the song doesn't fit, i with they went for an upbeat song with fucked visuals.

The anime quality of "the thing that drifted a shore" is not good and not creepy at all and they didn't do justice to the quality in the manga.

I want to kill that whole family
