Kousuke Mikado has been able to see spirits for as long as he can remember. Extremely terrified of them, he tries to suppress his ability by wearing glasses. One day, while working at a bookstore, he catches the attention of Rihito Hiyakawa, an eccentric medium who is convinced that they were destined to meet each other.
Thanks to Hiyakawa's antics, Mikado is thrust into the world of the paranormal, with the former promising that he will shed his fears if Mikado stays with him. As they continue to work together, the two discover a series of malicious curses that all point to the same name—"Erika Hiura."

The Night Beyond The Tricornered Window is undoubtedly my favorite BL anime. No offense on fans of other BLs, of course. But Tricornered Window is just so good, it has horror, mystery, and boy the fanservice is just right for me. (After finishing the anime, make sure that you read the manga! The anime may feel a bit rushed, and the manga would let you understand the plot a lot better. Mikado Kousuke is the protagonist, he's a bookstore clerk who is a literal package. He's cool, cute, shy, brave, hot, and if you read the manga, then you'd see just how much of a husbandmaterial he is. (He makes many, 'interesting' faces while exorcising, 10/10 very erotic.)
Hiyakawa Rihito is Mikado's love interest. You may not like him during the early episodes, but when you reach the end of the series, you'd see that he's the softest boy that we all need to protect.
Oh yeah, they did all sort of exorcising stuff, tho I would say that the anime give off a different vibe compared to the manga. The anime is more, mysterious, sexual tension, and tense. The manga? Oh, boi, the comedy, extra chapters, and their slow and steady love development makes me feel all sorts of things. Lol, I just realized that I've been talking about the manga more than the anime. But yeah pls read it. Best site to read it is on MangaGo.
Okay, now please let me rant. I'm baffled when I saw that 6.4 rating at the time when I'm rating this. Most people that gave those low ratings said that they didn't expect this to be BL-ey, they were only expecting a typical mystery anime. Like tf??? Please ignore those reviews, Sankaku Mado No Sotogawa Wa Yoru is very astounding and unique.
For those that aren't happy cuz this is a BL, do you not read the genre of this anime? Like, imagine if I give Tomoe a 2/10 rating because it's scary, even though it's a horror anime. Of course, my rating shouldn't be valid, right?
This anime is a new thing in the BL community, most BL just focus on the romance, sappy stuff, and fap material. I do think that Tricornered Window deserves at least an 8/10 rating. And I don't wanna hear y'all saying that my review sucks, I know it is.

This anime is the least gay BL I’ve ever seen, but it’s also one of the most interesting. The main draws of this show, to me, are the mystery elements and supernatural themes. The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window maintains a surprising amount of suspense in each episode, with well-edited sequences and a sinister atmosphere. While watching, I often found myself impressed by how tense certain scenes could be; Tricornered Window stands out among other BL anime for being quite competently directed. The characters also develop pretty differently from other BL stories. Much of the focus is placed on how the characters’ psychic powers affect their interpersonalrelationships, especially with family members. This results in a cast that feels rather fresh and intriguing, which I really appreciated.
Unfortunately, my praise ends there. The overall story is pretty lackluster, mainly due to some pacing issues that leave a lot of things unexplained. By the end of the final episode, I still didn’t quite understand how psychic powers function in the world of Tricornered Window. The motivations of certain characters were also difficult to follow at times, which made some storylines confusing.
My biggest issue with the anime, however, is how unfulfilled it left me by the end. So much time is spent building up the relationship between Mikado and Rihito, but there isn’t much payoff. The narrative feels reluctant to commit to a romance between the two characters, with Mikado even insisting at one point that he and Rihito aren’t romantically involved. Besides the ever-present tension between the two leads, there isn’t a whole lot of love between boys in this supposed Boys’ Love anime.
Though Tricornered Window does a lot of things differently, making it stand out among BL anime, it ultimately left me feeling a bit hollow. I really enjoyed the spookier scenes, but other than that, the show failed to make much of an impression. It’s better than most BL anime, but still not that great, unfortunately.

The lack of information in the beggining makes it confusing, but makes you empathize better with one of the main character. Over all, most of the episodes it's you trying to pull together all the information they are giving and trying to understand what the hell is going on, wich makes it tough to watch. Even so it all comes together in the last episodes, making this anime very good, not only because by then you'll understand what is happening, but because if you analise it from the psicological and social part of it, and you empathize with the characters you'll understand what mental illness would looklike if it could be used as something dangerous

If I had to sum this up in as many words in a review, I'd say that this anime is a pretty mediocre BL and a genuinely really good, possibly incredible if I want to be very generous, supernatural anime that I firmly might place as one of my favourites in the genre (not that there's too much competition in supernatural BL). Where I went into the anime expecting something rather bad, after episode 1 and 2 being my roughly expected fare I was hugely surprised by the amount of care and writing that had gone into the story and characters aside from the maleleads. The set up of the narrative is tidily executed, and the twist (though instantly noticed by some eagle eyed viewers) takes the story into an even more addicting spiral until the finale is over and you're sitting with twelve episodes viewed.
The character work I think is also the standout; by the end of the anime, though I liked the leads, my favourite characters were of the side cast and the relationship I was most invested in wasn't even that of the main two. Where it was advertised to me as a somehow darker BL and seemed like it was careening down that direction from the start, what you actually get out of Sankaku Mado no Sotogawa wa Yoru is a supernatural story revolving around themes of the dark side of families and recovery, whether that be with friendship, found family and/or a good old exorcism, with an overall uplifting message.
Of course, the anime isn't perfect, but what it is, in my opinion, is perfectly enjoyable. The animation quality is extremely good and the art style suits the story very well, and though the character's supernatural powers aren't always explained word by word introduction page style, I didn't feel like that needed to be the case for me to enjoy watching it, nor to understand the most important parts of the narrative; the emotional beats.
If you came to this anime looking for something purely BL, you might be disappointed since it functionally requires you to care about more than just the main duo. However, if you enjoy supernatural narratives with a fair portion of mystery and a cast of middling to strong character personalities (featuring a gay couple among them and a couple really great father figures), I really couldn't recommend this more.

Minor spoilers for the show. Although I would definitely agree that the manga is better than the anime, the anime has its own charm, and it’s a nice addition to the manga, where you can see the characters move around (and in color). The anime also makes certain scenes clearer, and certain dialogue moments more understandable as to who’s talking, which makes their emotional weight stronger. There’s also at least one added scene early on that makes a character’s actions more regular than random, as they are in the manga. The music is also pretty, and the Japanese VAs all did a good job. The anime isquite accurate, though the show compressed the story a great deal in an attempt to fit 10 tankobon into 12 episodes, and though it’s not the most complex of stories (though it IS complex), that’s a lot of material to squish into that few 20ish-minute episodes, with time given to OPs and EDs every episode. Chapters are frequently chopped up and stuck together in ways that save time while getting the meat of the chapter on-screen. At least five chapters are almost if not entirely cut. It’s not the greatest loss, though one was a nice shippy chapter that would have been appropriate for a BL-marked anime that people question the reasoning for marking as BL. There’s another early chapter that’s massively cut in a way that makes it not make sense to someone who hasn’t read the manga.
In many ways the anime art feels like a visual downgrade from the manga art, which is by and large better. Overall the entire cast is better looking in the manga.
There are some nice things the anime does, visually. In the ED, there’s a moment that makes it appear through a creative transition as if Hiyakawa has dissolving wings, which is pretty neat. And there are little story spoilers in the OP visuals, which is a nice touch, though not something I think someone unfamiliar with the manga or who hasn’t seen the show once already would recognize. And without the manga for comparison, the show’s not bad looking. The animation is pretty, by and large, fluid, and the style’s decent.
On its own, this is still the same story by and large as what’s in the manga, and it’s a good story, with great characters, and decent art. The supernatural world setup is interesting, and the reflections on cults, brainwashing, child abuse, neglect, and dealing with childhood trauma as an adult are solid. There’s also a strong theme that without communication (and consent), things we do to purportedly protect other people can be harmful not only to those we seek to protect, but also to ourselves. There are a lot of BL innuendos rather than just sex you’d find in other series, though there’s a lot of touching and specific body language (and the innuendos get very specific).
The central character relationship is compelling, particularly if you’re into dubcon, though the manga’s relatively strong focus on talking about consent kind of got lost in adaptation, I guess (it’s still there, kind of, and the dynamic fluctuates with who holds the reins). Around them are an array of neat characters and relationships, and they all get development over the course of the story (Sakaki is one of my favorite characters). The pro-cop stuff is still there, which is a bit disappointing, but the story’s also kind of ambiguous in places and focuses a bit on restorative justice, so… win-win I guess? There’s also a bit of humor throughout, and it increases as the story goes.
All in all, it’s a solid short BL supernatural story with some horror elements (I don’t go for horror at all and I was largely fine) and some fun character dynamics and development, with some great narrative themes. I would still suggest reading the manga first. It’s also short, and even better, enjoyment-wise (also the BL aspect is more obvious).

i was so ready to hate on this, and after 4 chapters i was calling it "mob psycho if it was writed by a 15 YO that only consumes BL", but i kept watching because i was interested in the paranormal aspect of the series, and i'm glad i did, because i enjoyed the rest of this, but man , for context i've never seen nor i'm interested in watch a BL Anime, so i started watching this not knowing that, and i cringed at the fan fic/doujin level of dialogue this had, i was ready to call it, and leave it after one episode,but my sister told me, let's give it a try, maybe they tone down the next chapter, they didn't tone it down, by chapter 4 i was tired, that most of the dialogue between the main characters were mostly lines that read like double meanin jokes, but then chapter 5 came and it felt like a diferent show, and i kept watching and the BL bait was mostly gone, but was out of the show enough for me to not be cringed by how awful the "romance" was, this thing it's so hard to recommend, because i kinda fw the themes they were trying to convey, but those 4 first episodes are a big turn off if you don't like BL, but even if you like bl, those 4 chapters are way to cringy when they're tying to be gay, and you know what's the funniest thing? they're not gay, at least that's what one of them say, so it's just a big queer bait, like it was there just to try to gather attention, so it's very disingenuous, but if you tolerate the first 4 chapters, it's a pretty enjoyable series, not amazing, but entertaining, that by the end of it , i was satisfied with it's finale

I'm not a fan of BL/Yaoi nor its counterpart of Yuri/Lesbian-made works, but I do know how to spot a good show if the source material is ever that good. And alongside the much superior Mieruko-chan that aired together at the same time, Sankaku Mado no Sotogawa wa Yoru a.k.a The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window was in overall stance, a rather "complete" but incomplete, cheap and poor adaptation of Tomoko Yamashita's BL manga that's still the superior version of the source material. The supernatural, paranormal, mystery BL story lies within the context of 2 guys: Kousuke Mikado and Rihito Hiyakawa. The former being Mr. Triangle(his name was written that way) and like Mieruko-chan's Miko Yotsuba, has the ability to see spirits and is afraid of them, but unlike Miko, he can suppress his ability by wearing glasses to compensate for his normalcy while living a low-profile life at a bookstore. That is until the attention of the latter caught his eye, the abnormal fearless medium/exorcist that professes his "love" for him and says that "fate interwines us to be together" by working together in exorcist cases whenever and wherever they arise.
I know that BL or even Yuri stories can get very personal and creeped out, and that is how you're supposed to see the relationship between Kousuke and Rihito. Despite all the caressing of the soul through Rihito's know-how that he could see and exorcise spirits by entering into Mikado's body, that is essentially the crux of the starting phase until the plot starts getting better with the BL segments being overshadowed. And this plot takes them to the central story of a girl named Erika Hiura working as a mercenary necromancer who's acting maliciously and cursing people, whom in the process, dives deep into Rihito's history of a secretive past. It doesn't take one to notice quick that the story plot is favoured in place of the BL (though later on it exists periodically), which is a nice segue for the majority of the female fans looking forward to the more "extraterrestrial" feelings that contributed to the likeness of the manga.
Sadly though, as compared to the manga, Zero-G's adaptation really just keeps bearing on with miss after miss. Starting off with the main characters, as much as I want to believe that each and every person contributes to the way that the story plot is woven, they don't really have any personality whatsoever other than the roles they're meant to play. And Tomoko Yamashita is not your ordinary mangaka as she has been writing lots of BL manga circa. 2005 with her own distinct flare of combining poignant settings with well-written characters, so to see that all dumbed down and wasted in the "complete" anime adaptation is really a shame. The production values are rather cheap and not that all enticing, even if it meant to give that creepy, grotesque vibe of lingering spirits being controlled by people that have powers that can do all sorts of things. Also, having people like Evan Call be the music composer isn't simply enough anymore, as it also didn't really stand out for the same issues as other aspects did. At least the OST was kinda decent, but I like the gloominess of Wataru Hatano's ED more than Frederic's OP which just serves to preface Kousuke's triangle-centric profoundness.
It goes without saying that if more time and care were given to this show, then it could've turned out decent at best. It's really nice to have more BL stories be adapted with the paranormal plot like this, but sadly the more I watch this show, the lesser attention span I got back for retaining values as well. Definitely stick to the manga, it's the original, definitive version and the better time-waster than this crude adaptation.

Not gonna lie, i thought this is gonna be pure BL since its been recommendable recent in fujoshi community. But i think its kindddd offff fair but kindaaa off not. I will say this, its SUPER DUPER GAY in ONLY just in the beginning but it kinda slowly show that no, this is NOT BL. If you watch for like 1st few episodes, yes this is about 2 men who just happen kinda look sexually exorcist some bad omen / spirits. I think THATS why it look like BL. Its kinda a waste and a bummer cuz imagine people watching this are not fujoshi, they'll beweirded out and quit watching this. I dont blame anyone who not fan of GAY SEXUALIZATION stop watching cuz i cant blame em for their preference duh. But the story behind itself actually interesting (i getit ppl think this kind of sixth sense/horror/cursed/gore story is mediocre but i do like this kind of story)
I wanna say it such a waste they just slapped you with some GAYNESS from start despite just losing some non-bl lover fan for the story already. And then proceed to some NORMAL syet at nearly the end which dissapointed some fujoshis. Yes i felt like they have forgotten BL when episode nearly end. But i'll admit, the couple arent romantic in slightest. I also kinda feel like, no, maybe they just friend, so the BL tag is only becuz of sexualize action between 2 men and yes only to exorcise.
Do i think they actually fall in love with each other?
No, im may be fujoshi and shipper but i have my sense on character/people feelings. The blond guy just straight up go to the mc and said hes his destiny but that just another word for he need help since the mc is the only one that have 6th sense and have pure mind(kindness and all you know like other mc). Theres no such thing as 'i love you' or 'i do it for u'. That poor blond guy just needed friend cux he never had one. Yeah2 i will read the manga, im here only talk about the anime not the manga dumbass.

I'm gonna say it - it's hardly a BL. It really doesn't feel like one, and I'm not sure if I should be angry at the queer-baiting, or disappointed it doesn't use the source material better. I entered this anime with no ideas whatsoever. I was told it was a BL, I saw the trailers, and that was it. I thought it was a great concept and I was excited for a BL with an actual plot alongside their relationship. First off, if you don't know the manga, you'll be pretty confused. There are scenes that are awkward and quiet, and overall the plot couldn'treally keep me because I realized how little I actually cared for the characters.
I've heard there's lot in the manga, the live-action, and the novel that are way better than this and really explain things clearer. Which begs the question, why bother watching the anime if you need the rest to really enjoy it?
Maybe this rubbed me the wrong way since I didn't enjoy Psycho-pass or cop animes like that. But it didn't have the mystery or the narrative driving it forwards. Honestly, I couldn't even tell you what they did in most of the episodes of this show, and I'm so concerned by that fact - that I'm worrying if I've even watched it. That is how little really happens.
Maybe I'm being cruel, but it was the most disappointing show this season. Hopefully Sasaki to Miyano next month will be better.

My first impression of this anime was that it had to have originated as some sort of Mob Psycho 100 fanfiction. The similarities between Hiyakawa and the character of Reigen from Mob Psycho are what originally had me making this comparison. Character-design-wise, both Hiyakawa and Reigen have light-colored hair and wear gray-colored suits and both are professional “psychics,” though Reigen lacks the actual abilities Hiyakawa has. There was even a scene in The Night Beyond the Tricornered Window where another character criticizes Hiyakawa’s “fake” polished look, pointing out his cheap suit and haircut to belittle him. If I’m recalling correctly, a similar scene happened betweenReigen and a side character in Mob Psycho.
Despite its similarities, The Night Beyond the Tricolored Window does hold its own when it comes to the actual story. The exorcisms and cleansings the main characters go on have some seriously creepy visuals that warrant this anime’s horror tag, and as the series progresses the two begin uncovering a chain of curses that all seem tied to one person and the real plot begins.
Hiyakawa and Mikado also have a budding relationship that shifts from some rather cringe sex jokes in the first few episodes of the show to the two of them having to trust each other with their spiritual health and help each other to heal their past traumas.
I didn’t originally have very high hopes for this anime, but it managed to pleasantly surprise me. Ultimately, I rated this anime a 7/10.

The Night Before the Tricornered Window Destiny was an extremely pleasant surprise. I am a big fan of BL anime, and went into this not expecting very much from the story or characters. A lot of BL anime are watered down yaoi, and tend to have a very weak story that mostly hinges upon angst between the main characters. This show was an exception to that generalization. The story is refreshing and unique, centering on the occult and mediums and the powers they possess. The entire cast is well done and well-rounded, making the show as well as the ending feel fulfilling and worthwhile. Yes,there are some BL moments, mostly in the beginning. And while the first episode really lays the BL on thick, the show and the main characters really are more about bonding and understanding each other's character, rather than lust or attraction. It was really very refreshing.
The animation style was definitely a call-back to older anime, and had a particularly 90's feel to it. It wasn't low-budget, but it didn't have any of the really stunning animation that the big budget shows get. That being said, I thought the animation was consistent and didn't take away from the story at all.
Overall, I think this show deserves a much higher rating. The story is very interesting and has a great ending, and the characters are really enjoyable to watch. I would highly recommend this show, especially to BL fans as it has the elements but uses them in a more fulfilling way than other shows!
harukiyuri
if you're looking for a sign to watch this show, here it is! personally, i really liked the show. i gave it a watched since i heard it was BL and there isn't a lot of BL materials out there so i gotta at least try to see what this was all about. i went into the show for the BL but i stayed for the plot and the characters. i was so invested with the show i managed to finished it in a day. ngl i was a lil "flustered", for a lack of better words, when they were a lil bit erotic withthe exorcisms and stuff. but i got over it since I've seen much more cringed moments in other shows.
i didn't expect jump scares as well although i should've expected since this has a supernatural and ghost plotline and the jump scares got me most of the time haha. i loved every character especially erika-chan. they were really great in introducing every characters and narrating their stories. everyone was very likeable (but i think i love midako a lil bit more XD)
i did get a lil bit emo from show but that just goes to show that they did a great job in making you feel for the characters. they really made me tear up a bit haha
i loved that they didn't really focus on romance of the two (they barely showed any but it was fine) and more on the development of the characters and their relationship with the other characters in the show.
the animation is pretty decent. the op is bop. i loved it so much it's been stuck in my brain.
overall, i loved it. and you should give it a watch. its a short series so you'll probably finish it in half a day if you're into the show.
Kindy_
Sankaku is a story about 2 individuals with some bl elements here and there. That what intrigued me at first, the bl tag, in the end it wasn’t a romance. But it was still a pleasant story with some problems Story: A horror bl ? Count me in ! That said the story is quite nice to follow but around the end we had pacing problems. Things were going too quick for their own good. We also had many flashbacks which made things hard to follow. The ghost stuff was also kinda difficult to understand in addition to flashbacks. The story was too complexfor its own good. The end felt rushed because we had very little to catch up with the story after all of those flashbacks.
Art:
Damn that’s rough. The art is alright at the start but as the episodes continued the art was getting worse. It’s a shame because they had a lot of interesting ideas in terms of presentation, especially at the end. It’s also disappointing because they had a very nice horror feel to it but with this janky art it wasn’t that fear inducing. Sad to see that this small adaptation don’t get a lot of care.
Sound:
A nice cast overall and I have to say that Hatano-san did a fantastic job dubbing Hiyakawa. He was very in character, with a creepy/unsettling thing to his voice. The ops and ends were awesome. People put a lot of care in the sound aspect of this anime.
Characters:
Finally a developped female character in a bl ! That said, I really liked the characters. Mikado was a bit flat at the start but evolved into a more pleasant character. Hiyakawa is far from being a cliché, never seen such unique personality. Speaking of our two male leads, I was afraid at first that their relationship would end up toxic, seeing how mikado was like the puppy of Hiyakawa. Gladly that changed for the best, each one relaying on the other.
Enjoyement:
I must say I laughed. There were a lot of scenes that looked like they belonged to a more steamy yaoi that were played for comedy. It looked like that one corset scene in Black butler. I also enjoyed a lot the horror elements in there (especially Erika's powers).
Overall:
One thing it lacks is a good animation, so if you're interested and don't mind the look of it I would say go for it. They did a nice anime but they could have made a great one.

Honestly probably gonna end up being one of my favorites and not cause it's a BL but even if it wasn't, story is genuinely interesting. The supernatural and horror elements blew me away like some parts actually were somewhat scary too, but I am also just a huge pussy so its not hard but still. Honestly did not expect the animation to be this good too, honestly I really love the plot and the mystery it unraveled. It did actually entertain me and does need more recognition because the characters are likeable. I loved Erica and her bodyguard like yassss serve girlboss. Honestly all thesupernatural elements were so cool to see, I love this series but idk I want to see more but I'm gonna be totally honest, did not get like 1/4 of the shit that was happening but I will read the manga and see how good it is.

It took me 3 weeks to finish this anime. To be honest, the begging was a little boring, but it starts to be good after the fourth episode. Well, first of aff, I think that the supernatural powers could be better explained. At least for me, it was confusing to understand how they worked. I didn't read the manga, but it gets very clear for me how it was rushed. I wish it could had more episodes. The anime isn't focus on romance, but you know that a relationship exists between the principal characters, it's obvious that they don't see each other like just friends.So if you wanna see romance, I don't recomend this anime for you. Actually, the focus is on the supernatural events that happen in the roll of the story and the past of Mikado.
I really liked the animation, that is surprisingly good for a BL. In general, animes like this have a very low budget, so this affects the animation like 90% of times. It has elements of 3D and 2D animations, that I particularly don't like, but on this anime, it worked. The soundtrack it's ok, but it's not surprising. The highlight is the opening's song that I really liked a lot.
The strong point for me, is the characters development. I think it was awnsome to see how they evolved throughout history, specially Mikado and a character called Sakaki, my favorite, by the way.
Anyway, it's a good anime, after all. The plot it's ok too. If you wanted to see a BL that doesn't has focus on romance, go ahead.

I am really surprised that this anime doesn't have a higher rating. I thought it will atleast be 7.12 or around that. Where do I start? Well this anime reminded me a little of Ghost hunt, though Ghost Hunt gave me more enjoyment but that's what this anime reminded me of but in a different way, it feels like an original story and it didn't bore me like the Yakumo anime did mainly because of the characters in this story and not just the 2 Main characters. CHARACTERS:-I gotta say, I love the arcs of all the characters. We have 2 main main characters whileother 4 also get plenty of screen time with their own arcs and tie ins. Keita is absolutely my favourite!!! and I absolutely love what they did with Hiura Erika seriously love her whole thing so much!!
Rihito:At first, Rihito(The blonde MC) kinda worried me a little. I thought I wouldn't like this anime because of him and he is the reason that the anime has such a low score but I am glad I continued the anime and I am happy to say that we really understand why he is the way he is and I love how the people he meets change him and help him. Our protagonist isn't the only one going through stuff, it's all of them and they band together and become a team.
Mikado:Our protagonist is seriously one of the best MC growths I got to watch. I felt so proud to see him be who he is. It's just so satisfying. Though I wish there were more than 12 eps for him to grow more surer of himself, it still works. I just wish there were more cases to solve before the main part of the story kicks in.
STORY:-This is more of an investigation, friendship, family, supernatural (ghosts, powers like people who can see ghost, purify them, use them etc) story and I absolutely love it.
Honestly I ended up bingewatching the first 8 eps and then finished the rest the next day (that's only because I had to study for an exam). That's how interesting the story is though we can guess kinda what happens but the whole thing how they showed it to us is so interesting.
Now for the BL part:- Everyone assumes they are together and in love and Rihito calls Mikado 'His Destiny' but there really isn't much romance in this. It's more of their bond slowly growing as the episodes go on and when they first met they felt drawn to one another(Mikado finally finding someone like him and Rihito finding his destiny in his words).
They are still at the budding stage by the end of the anime and we know they will end up together when the time is right. What is important is that they are important to one another. Not gonna spoil anything trust me they are good together and it's by choice.Nothing mature like I expected from watching the beginning eps.
Art:- Art is good. Like I said the way everything is shown/drawn/animated is just so good. The colours used, the designs but there are definitely more better ones out there and all I will say that no faults in the Art department.
Sound:- I didn't like the OP much. It didn't resonate with the tone of the anime but the ED song definitely did so check that out and other bg musics are all good.
Overall:- So all in all definitely give this one a try. Nothing silly happens and nothing is dumbed down for the viewers. If this story had a few more episodes it really could have gone somewhere. All it needs is more depth and bonding between the characters but what we got is pretty good too. So 8/10 from me.
I mean it. Give this one a try you might just enjoy it like I did.

The Night Beyond The Tricornered Window is an anime that left a sweet and sour aftertaste as I finished watching it. I went into it without knowing what I would expect and left thinking that it is, possibly, to this day, one of the animes with the best plot I’ve ever had the honor to enjoy. For those of you that are into psychology, trauma and everything in between, The Night Beyond The Tricornered Window is a masterful representation of what a “core trauma” is, and what a traumatic event can cause to a young mind that is still in the making. It’s a journeythat shows you what healing looks like, how ugly it can be, how some wounds never fade nor heal, and can possibly turn into what we would normally call “evil”.
Furthermore, this anime mixes an accurate scientific knowledge of human psychology with elements of folklore, horror and fantasy: what hatred, regret, fear and other similar negative feelings can do to a person when brooded for too long is skillfully represented and transposed into the world of evil spirits and folklore, making these two dimensions overlap in a stunning way.
My favorite character of the entire series has to be Hiyakawa! The psychology behind this character is incredibly well written.
I genuinely don’t get why this anime has such a mid-low rating on MAL. Not all BLs are completely plotless - but, apart from this personal opinion, it’s really hard for me even to consider The Night Beyond The Tricornered Windo a BL product. I mean, sure, the sexually explicit jokes and puns are thrown here and there, once in a while, in order to clearly appease to an audience that got into this anime purely for the BL part - they are definitely more frequent in the first two/three episodes. But, apart from this, it’s just a masterfully written story, with a very slight undertone of boy’s love. And that’s also why it’s so good: the mangaka does a great job at making it subtle, not pushing it to our faces constantly, because the core of the manga/show really is somewhere else. That is, as a matter of fact, great story-telling and just shows how skillful the author is.
It gets a 8 from me only because of its graphics. The manga definitely did a better job with the aesthetics.
But, yes, I would definitely recommend you to watch this anime!
