Synopsis

In the light of day and in the dead of night, mysterious horrors await in the darkest shadows of every corner. They are unexplainable, inescapable, and undefeatable. Be prepared, or you may become their next victim.

Sit back in terror as traumatizing tales of unparalleled terror unfold. Tales, such as that of a cursed jade carving that opens holes all over its victims' bodies; deep nightmares that span decades; an attractive spirit at a misty crossroad that grants cursed advice; and a slug that grows inside a girl's mouth. Tread carefully, for the horrifying supernatural tales of the Itou Junji: Collection are not for the faint of heart.

This anime is pretty underrated, honestly. Of course, it's not the second coming of Christ or anything groundbreaking, but it's decent. Junji Ito's original stories are already creepy and strong on their own, and Studio Deen did what they could to adapt them.

Some episodes actually manage to capture that weird, unsettling vibe the author is known for. One that stood out to me was Fashion Model. In the manga, it's terrifying.

Mixed Feelings
Junji Ito: Collection is an animated anthology that adapts different chapters from the works of the famous horror manga artist Junji Ito. Each episode offers one or more independent stories, each blending psychological horror, the grotesque, the absurd, and unease.

The series directly adapts the manga's stories, but often in a simplified or abridged way.

Ito's horror relies heavily on extremely detailed and disturbing illustrations. The animation doesn't always manage to reproduce this graphic intensity.

Strengths:

• Very faithful storylines, few deviations.

Being a massive fan of Junji Ito's manga, i'm terribly sad to be giving this adaptation such a low score. The same as for the more recent Netflix Maniac.

Horror is quite a peculiar genre, requiring a lot more suspension of disbelief than others and is usually much more effective the more it leaves to the imagination. Which is why it tends to work much better in prose, or graphic novels, where your mind has to fill in a lot more between each sentence or panel with your own personal terrors. This is true for all the greatest horror writers like Poe, Lovecraft, or Stephen King, ...
