Taiga and Ryuji meet the scary Ami in Toradora, Hime and Akina battle the body-snatching Enjin in Yozakura Quartet, a new frightening assassin is after Loki, Fuu and friends drop in on a creepy excavation site in Samurai Champloo, and the dead students in Angel Beats deal with more blood and gore. Also, the Shinsengumi of an alien-infested Edo tell ghost stories in Gintama.
