A 2015 horror anime consisting of three-minute shorts, seemingly unrelated aside from all taking place mainly through the medium of handheld and security cameras, and all featuring a skull-faced StringyHairedGhostGirl who torments the characters. Unusually for an anime, most of the animation is done through {{Rotoscoping}}. Compare and contrast Anime/YamiShibai, which also consists of episodic horror shorts.
