First of all, I want to say a little about the movie Saiko!, I had to research the opinions of people who have seen the movie to figure out the scenes of the mother standing in the background, those are creepy scenes. But I still maintain my opinion, not only about the movie Saiko! But also about this short prequel episode: if you want to create an attractive mystery horror story, you have to show it clearly to the viewers (the horror details are clearly shown in pictures) and not hide it or make it too difficult for the viewer to recognize. If a movie is scary but no one can detect those details, that horror movie is considered a failure to me. What I really noticed about this episode and even movie Saiko! Is that it's about family issues: domestic violence, the thing about sharing and understanding each other and emotions being released, that's what I can see clearly and completely immerse myself in the story, instead of having to pay attention and try to find creepy details or something like that. I don't like this at all. In this prequel episode, the abusive father is depicted quite clearly through his scenes with Ringo, and a few scenes with Tsukasa, however the origin and nature of this is not shown clearly through the characters. As for the horror element through the haunted photo, the story is clearly quite boring. Although the story of the Ura family is told as a mysterious and creepy story, I couldn't feel it without looking it up online, instead I wanted to remember this family as a family with many incidents and difficulties with children learning to grow up and they need someone who understands and shares with them like Sumio in the movie Saiko. This episode didn't really impress me in many ways.
