Brace yourself, people. We might finally be getting a proper Junji Ito anime.

HUGE fan of the manga

Can't wait

 

[MudoSkills]

This looks so good.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Damn, looking good.

 

[NoLootBoxDev]

I read it online and then read the hardcopy I have, love it!!!!!!

 

[jason10mm]

This the guy that has the story of the people drawn to holes in a wall and they walk through and end up all twisted at the end?

Im down for that...

Yep, Junji Ito has done a lot of horror manga. The story you’re thinking of is his story The Enigma of Amigara Fault.

 

[Punished Miku]

Really nailing the look of the comic. Damn.

yes. that's his short story, The Enigma Of Amigara Fault. it's amount one of many of his short horror stories. Uzumaki on the other hand, while is somewhat similar being a collection of a lot of indiviidual short stories, they all happened in one village and has an overarching theme to them. I personally love it the most out of all of Junji Ito's collections and I can't wait for this to come out after all these years.

 

[Northeastmonk]

Weird to watch this on Toonami. I’d rather just buy it or something. I’ve owned quite a few of his books and the anime that kinda sucked. This actually looks good.

 

[Lunarorbit]

Really nailing the look of the comic. Damn.

Yeah, this is streets ahead of the animation in the netflix show

 

[Doczu]

Wow, finally. It has been delayed like what, twice already? Can't wait! The trailer not only looks good, but the music is also top notch

 

[zeioIIDX]

Seeing this makes me feel like I'd really be down for an anime adaptation of PTSD Radio.

 

[Werewolf Jones]

Took them 4 years. Maybe it'll be worth the wait.

Yes, that's is him, with cat ears.

 

[Doom85]

Yes, that's is him, with cat ears.

Yeah, he’s a big cat fan. IIRC, his only non-horror manga is a lighthearted slice-of-life focused on cats.

 

[Doczu]

Yes, that's is him, with cat ears.

Man. The similarities between him and Lovecraft are chilling.

Both are kinda introverts.
Both are unquestionable masters of cosmic horror.
Both are cat guys.

 

[Dacvak]

[Lunarorbit]

I've watched community so many times since the pandemic that I should instantly realize what scene this is. I'll just blame the bong rip I did on not remembering.

 

[Magic Carpet]

The anime series I've seen come off as more goofy than horror. I have the Uzumaki book and it really creeps me out but the anime series made me laugh.

 

[YCoCg]

Now this is some real shit right here.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

Should I purchase the manga? I am a horror buff sort of person but I hate books. My brain is not hard wired to shit down and flip through some fucking pages. That said, I've read through Rurouni Kenshin, GANTZ, and Berserk online. Physical media is always great. Maybe it will be worth something one day.

Check a chapter or two online.
The art style is almost 1:1 with the anime. If you like it then buy it, if not just wait for the anime and buy it afterwards.

There are highs and lows in the whole manga, but if you like cosmic horror, liked games like Silent Hill, Forbidden Siren and World of Horror (which is literally Junji Ito: The Game) then you'll like it.

 

[Dirk Benedict]

Sigh. I remain Enthusiastically... tempered.

 

[Doom85]

While I think certain moments of imagery of Ito’s style may not translate as well to animation, you can tell the studio’s staff are still giving it their all. If they can nail the suspense and grotesque, this should hopefully be a solid adaptation.

The D&D episode had me DYING.

I really can't wait for Uzumaki

 

[Dacvak]

I just watched the new trailer and it looks so freaking cool. I never read the comic, but I kinda want to now. I’ve got a long flight in a couple weeks, I might read some of it while I travel.

you should read it. I'm pretty sure the anime won't be covering all the stories in the book so reading it is actually a very good choice. it's my favorite of Junji Ito's work.

 

[ForAcademicPurposes]

It's in black and white?

Legit awesome.

 

[near]

This is the type of anime you watch and when you fall asleep, you start seeing some creepy shit. I'm already scared.

 

[AJUMP23]

That looks weird you weebs.

 

[SJRB]

Wow that first episode was amazing. I love how truthful the art style is to the manga.

They got Colin Stetson (Hereditary, The Menu) to do the soundtrack which elevates the thing to a whole new level.

First 30 seconds gave me legit goosebumps, that was so sick.

[NecrosaroIII]

What does this have to do with Naruto!?!?!

/s

 

[Robot Carnival]

just watched the first episode, and holy crap this really captured the vibe of the manga. the pacing is definitely a little fast but it's understandable consider how much they have to cover. really looking forward to the rest of the episodes.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

It's because he ate hot chili, that's why he has a long tongue.

 

[OmegaSupreme]

Really enjoyed the first episode. At first I didn't like the lack of color but it grew on me.
