Sealed Video 16: Hachishaku-sama's Curse

The English name "Hachishaku-sama" is an urban legendary character from the Japanese forum 2ch. Like the name "eight feet", it is uniformly described as a tall female ghost who will make a male "popopo" smile. The description of clothing in the article is wearing white dress, but according to different records, it seems that different people see different clothes. For example, some people see white mourning clothes. She will act like the voice of the relatives of the parties concerned, which makes the parties relaxed and vigilant. People who are confused by an eight-foot adult will die in a few days. Usually, children are easily confused.

TOYD

Shinichi Shitara, a detective working in the First Investigative Division of the police station, lost his wife in an accident two months ago and has been living with his daughter Kaori ever since. The relationship between Shitara, who is devoted to work, and Kaori has been strained ever since his wife died. One day, a housewife was electrocuted to death in a locked room in an apartment building under Shitara's jurisdiction. A few days later, another electrocution incident occurred in the same jurisdiction. The only thing the two incidents have in common is that the victim's child attended the same school, and that a robot called "TOYD" was left in the child's room. Could TOYD be connected to the incident? Who is responsible, and why? And will a new incident occur?

Higanbana - Women's Crime File (Higanbana: Onnatachi no Hanzai Fairu)

Nagisa, the heroine, has the ability to “synch” with all the powerful emotions that linger in crime scenes. When this happens though, she blacks out. Even in her day-to-day life, she can hear people's evil intentions and true colors and senses their lies and deception. That is why she always wears headphones in order to shut out people's emotions. She works well with her colleagues at the "Red Spider Lily" (Higanbana) unit, who are all brutally honest acid-tongued women with no qualms about speaking their minds. "Red Spider Lily" is an eclectic unit that includes a science geek, a single mom, and a woman who grew up abroad. Seen by many as a department that's been taken off the main career track, "Red Spider Lily" turns out to be full of fabulous detectives!

20001 An Earth Odyssey

In the year 20001, three aliens arrive on the ruins of Earth to investigate the extinct human race. Revering humanity as a highly intelligent civilization, they wildly misinterpret the artifacts left behind: mistaking playgrounds for sacred places, umbrellas for communication devices, and graveyards for farmland. The team consists of a warm-hearted yet misguided captain, a highly logical but often inaccurate analyst, and their innocent, instinctive young member. While the two adults obsessively analyze human civilization through logic and theory, the youngest slowly begins to understand humanity through emotion, contradiction, and empathy, discovering that what science cannot decode, the heart just might.
