Synopsis:
In a secluded coastal town perpetually shrouded in mist, a young woman named Hana grapples with unsettling visions linked to her family's history. The narrative unfolds as she begins to uncover long-buried secrets about the town’s origins and a strange, pervasive influence that binds its residents. Haunted by fragmented memories and increasingly vivid nightmares, Hana seeks answers from enigmatic figures within the community, blurring the lines between reality and folklore. The anime explores themes of inherited trauma, societal stagnation, and the fragility of perception within a claustrophobic atmosphere steeped in melancholic beauty. It offers a slow-burn psychological exploration, prioritizing atmosphere and character introspection over action, inviting viewers to contemplate the weight of the past and its lingering impact on the present.

User delta5 (Score: 4/10):
There's little horror to be seen in this anthology of three short stories involving ineffectual male characters and their interactions with a mysterious woman named Mumako who grants their wishes...with a twist. The animation style is pedestrian at best, and drawn more like a gag comedy anime than horror. The stories are not in the least bit scary, offering at best a vague surprise in the end, but prepare to be unimpressed. Basically this is a waste of your time. It's dull, not scary, and the art and music are barely doing the minimum. There are plenty of actually decent one-shot horror releases from the80s and 90s so don't spend half an hour on this one.
