----------------------------------------
I still don't see why they had to change the main characters if the story is basically the same.
I Saw the raw version and there were some bit where i didn't understand what happened, hope someone will sub it soon...

Nonetheless it was pretty enjoyable i guess

To me (and i was really not pleased with the changes) the OVA was awesome, I don't know why but the fact that they changed the main charas was okay, I did not like it to see tadashi as the monster instead of kaori xDD but it was really good, im happy they did the circus in it and the professor at the end with the flying mashine, but all in all it was an good adaption.

Well, going by the RAW (though my Japanese is shaky), this seems like a half-decent adaptation -- but that's not difficult for me to say, because Gyo was never one of my favorite Junji Ito works. The changes were all more than acceptable.

...if only we had an Uzumaki OVA instead....

I heard they changed a bit from it (the trailers seem different from the manga), but I don't think I would mind too much. As long as it's being released, I'm a happy camper. I'll be looking forward to the subbed version of this.

Sub is out. This was pretty bad. At times shocking, at times funny, but mostly boring. Haven't read the mange but it seems it's a 'recap' adaptation with cuts here and there. It still doesn't justify releasing something as unpolished as this 'horror' anime.

5/10

To be honest is too long. At the begining is like woooow, superb, what an ova but then with time it becomes boring. Nothing changes in that, she wants to save Tadashi but then he suddenly becomes a monster... and? too long, but still good ; )

thoise monsters were so gross, that I feel sick now -.-"

Not very true to the original, i think it would have benefitted from staying closer to the story of the manga. Still not entirely bad, 3/5.

I thought it was great. I haven't read the original manga, the only Junji Itou work that I read was Uzumaki and that was awesome.
This OVA had Junji Itou all over it, I couldn't help but love it. 5/5 and 8/10

walking fish is really not my cup of tea. let me put it this way it was a bad horror type anime.

I gotta agree with STM on this. It was a great watch for me, I was into throughout the whole way.

My thoughts exactly! It's as if they knew what they were producing.

Was good at beginning but the finale was inconcludent and silly. Also i dislike the character design, animation wasn't bad.

Dragon Head is much better compared to this.

2/5

Who directed this? Who was the screenplay-writer? Justin Bieber?

I still don't know why they create anime-original plots for something great. Why should have they concluded sex? This was made like a shitty Hollywood teen-thriller.

lol'd. Still better romance than Twilight. Wat

This felt like the American bastardization of the manga, it wasn't all bad but I didn't care much for it especially the ending, I enjoyed the less optimistic ending in the manga, the character design looked awful, if they weren't going to use Ito's design they should have just gone a totally different route, the change in lead although it didn't bother me much felt unnecessary and I liked Tadashi more has a main character he at least and a fighting spirit in him and the story was just boring, it lacked the Ito touch to it. But I did enjoy the author cameo has a walker, that made me laugh.

Not really sure why they decided to change things up by switching the roles around and adding/removing characters when there's nothing wrong with the manga story, but whatever, it was practically the same thing anyway. Of course, the art can't measure up to the manga, but the animation was pretty good overall. Gyo is some bizarre stuff.

It's a bit difficult to form an opinion on something so outlandish. It wasn't very bad, but it fell short of my expectations - I had hoped for Gyo to be something extremely original and révolutionnaire in terms of plot. And... yeah, given that it's an anime which originates, per se, from Japan it certainly was a breeze of freshness - but the thing is that while for Japan it's something new... for those from Europe and America, it most definitely wasn't.
Japan has its moe, and USA has its low-budget horrors which are truly similar to what I've just watched. Heck, it felt almost the same as 28 Weeks Later - only that rather than zombies, we had a nice example of Japanese quirkiness in the form of fishes with mechanical legs, which - upon meeting up with people who they had previously infected - turn into bio-mechanical harbingers of death. Sweet.

When I first saw that shark moving outside the window, I couldn't help but giggle - the entire premise and convention are so Japanese that it's actually funny rather than scary. I wouldn't say that I enjoyed it thoroughly, but seeing something derived from everyday anime standards was enough to left me satisfied to a point where I can no longer bash the OVA. So... 5/10? I mean, 4 for the OVA, but I'll give a bit higher score for that shark at the beginning - it was really hilarious after all.

So, I was waiting very much for this ova after i saw trailer.
And, finally i've watched this.
Well... I don't know what to say about it. It was funny and disgusting i think?
I liked this sciencist, Tadashi's uncle. He was so crazy about 'seeking the truth'.
End was... How to say it? I was hoping for some more. I'm really into imagining your own end after end in anime like this... It's gonna be bothering me now. They'll live forever? How? On the moon? Or they'll die after mutated rain? Etc.
This ova wasn't bad. It was... unusual.
3/5
5/10

I haven't gotten a chance to ese it yet but I really hope I end up liking it.. though tbh like with others Gyo was def not my favorite Junji Itou story. Really, any other of his stories would have been a better choice.

Also, lolololol at the people who watched this without knowing anything about Junji Itou.
