Episode 2:
It's just boring. I think it tries to be both supernatural and slice-of-life, and based on tags also a detective mystery or something. But it does not seem to be succeeding in any of those. Spirits are almost inconsequential, they could be replaced by something else, and that would not change things that much. Slice-of-life is not interesting, because there is barely anything going-on besides talking. And not like Bakemonogatari talking.
And detective or mystery... Why would we even care what happened to that carpenter? Nothing was shown to us, that would suggest that it matters. Yes, the boy's curiosity was piqued, I guess, but considering how plain his character seems to be thus far, that does not feel enough. Not going to continue this one.
