| I dont get why people hate Souichi. He's hilarious and makes everything funnier |
| It was ok I liked both stories but The animation though lmao terrible. |
| Souichi tales are always creepy but funny. |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
| MY INSECURE BOI SOUICHI IS BACK ! At first he was really getting on my nerves but I smh find him funny by now. The first part was confusing it could have been better if it was longer and concentrated on the parallel universes more. This episode was a smol 6/10 for me. |
| Seunghoon my sunflower |
| Oooohhh Souichi, still trying to ruin things for other people with all his wacky antics. Also the animation this episode seemed pretty bad at a couple of places this episode. |
A Wild and Small Otaku has Appeared! |
| no offense but can souichi just mcfuck off |
| wow gay |
| Sou-chan is back, my day is better now! ♥ |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| The house of puppets is still my favorite segment, but the whole alternate dimension thing was admittedly pretty interesting. Still don't enjoy Souichi, but the cloth teachers were a little unsettling. |
| The first story ws pretty damm good. It was original in a way and had a cool ending... I was afraid they would screw the story tbh! The second one, not so much! Souichi is to shitty of a caracter to be in an episode with another cool story! 6/10 |
Klad said: I dont get why people hate Souichi. He's hilarious and makes everything funnier pretty much you answered your own question, people read Ito Junji stuff for scare factors, not to take a U turns toward the comedic/funny area |

| The worst episode in this season.... The first story, parallel worlds, bad although interesting to some bigger!! The second story was a return to the naughty Soichi!! |
tearofmankind said: WandererRedux said: Honestly wasn't a fan of this episode. Something about the way Further Tales of Oshikiri was adapted just felt off to me (although I still enjoyed the climax of the story) and we got a second Souichi story from Mannequin Teachers without the context needed from Souichi's Home Tutor. When we haven't even got one story from Tomie's anthology yet. Setting aside my own hatred for Souichi and his stories, the pacing felt way off in this segment too. The one solace that I can take from this is that this means that not all of Souichi's stories will be adapted; thank god for that! Easily the worst episode the series has had yet, hopefully next week's episode will be better. 3/5 Someone said there would be 2 extra episodes only for Tomie. Here's hoping that's accurate, I just hope that the rest of the episodes don't get bogged down by Souichi's stories π . Klad said: I dont get why people hate Souichi. He's hilarious and makes everything funnier Like @Raptors0verlord said, a big part of it is people read/watch Junji Ito stories for horror, not comedy. Personally I also find Souichi utterly annoying and don't find his stories funny either, so it fails as a comedy to cap everything off π. |

| I really like the first story. I like oshikiri. I like his stories. I think they should have put the first story first where he finds out about the other dimension but I don't think it was necessary. The monsters were gross! More than in the manga haha. But the second one I honestly thought it was hilarious. Not sure if it was intended but it was so silly to me. I laughed a ton. I liked it but not for this series. I really wanted them to animate the more creepier stories. I honestly hope they have another season because I want all the stories to be animated! |

| The first half, other worlds thing, was pretty interesting. 2nd half, meh. |
  |
| A shame that annoying kid seems to be a recurring character. -__- The first half was okay. |
| I haven't read the Oshikiri stories in Junji Itou's horror series yet but it seems fucking creepy. Who was that stepping behind Oshikiri towards the end of the first half? It seems like another Oshikiri? But it's fucking hilarious that Oshikiri's parallel selves are insecure about their heights that they would experiment on height-enhancing products. They sell a lot of height enhancing products in Asia from supplements to this weird contraption device that's supposed to "pull" your spine out hahaha Souchi is slowly becoming my favorite, I like how he's like Randal from Recess but with the ability to curse. He's such a dork, awkward, clumsy and vengeful but he fails a lot. Plus his voice actor makes me laugh. And Souchi's brother doesn't care that his little brother is playing with voodoo magic. The cloth teacher even spit a nail in Souchi's butt and he didn't do anything lol Also, these elementary school children sound like middle-aged men lol |
| θγ- |
| I enjoyed the way the Oshikiri story ended with another one walking behind them. I'm not sure how to feel about Souichi, I preferred his story this time but I'd prefer something scarier instead. Good episode nonetheless. |
 |
| HAHAHA YES! MC imp Souichi's back to inject some fun into this otherwise lacklustre horror series. |

| Nothing can happen until you swing the bat. |
| When i first saw him say isekai i already knew it was gonna get bad and didnt want to watch it but actually it was pretty creepy and good. So he from another world is experimenting on people who ocme from his world and on the same version of people from his alternative's world. Creepy. And wtf do you really want to make some growth formula and thats why the person grows into those monstrosities and suffocate? WOW. The real MC managed to throw him off cause well... you know ... scientiests arent really that strong in physical strength so he easily overpowered his other self and saved the girl, but wow what's behind him......... That you will leave to your imagination!!!!!!! but it's most likely the OTHER him from yet another universe. Grrr everyone's confused. I had such a huge grin on my face when Souchi appeared, finally lol.Not sure if its a good thing to smile and have a great time while watching horror lol, but Souichi is intended for that, his pranks always turn around on its head. Despite liking him i kinda rooted for him to lose lol, gotta admit. Female cloth teacher was the creepiest and it was cool how she teared off that other cloth doll. And so what i realized is that if Souichi loses control or concentration, his pranks get undone? he doesnt have a permament control huh. Also wonder how he is able to bring life to those dolls... and all 3 had a different personality too. Also liked how male teacher was sitting by the bonfire like that, and kinda helped the guys |
| The nail guy is back...I hate him. |
 |
| Oshikiri volume was one of my favourites, and the stories work pretty well as stand alone, more so than Intersection Pretty Boy, since they all have to do with parallel worlds. For the Souchi story there actually was a chapter that showed the teacher trying to reform Souchi that lead into this one, but it works pretty well without it anyway. |
 |
| The second part of this episodes really funny, but tbh i never like Souichi and his story, he just want to curse whoever he hates. Glad he deserved what he did |
 |
| With an infinite amount of killer Oshikiris also comes with an infinite amount of savior Oshikiris. Let's hope that the one behind them's the latter. Taking revenge for having his bottom exposed ironically backfired (at his behind) lmao |
 |
| The first story was disappointing, wasn't really scary at any point. Keep in mind I haven't read the original manga for this story, however the idea feels cliche to me (I shouldn't have to read the manga regardless as a prerequisite to the anime, the anime should be able to stand alone). With that being said, I imagine the body horror was probably better portrayed in the manga. In the anime, it just didn't work. Souichi stories are always welcome, I enjoy them a lot. The lack of animation quality is also super noticeable now. Lip movements do not sync up to what is being said, the fight between Aoyama and Oshikiri had no impact with the punches, background characters don't move, proportions on the faces of the characters are just off (especially noticeable when they're close to the camera). A good majority of the animation is stilted and is never really smooth. It's really disappointing. As of right now, I'd give this series maybe a 5 or a 6. |

| I adore Souichi π It would have been awesome to have his own anime π |
| The beard thing was so weird xD |
 |
| The Ongoing Tale of Oshikiri is great and another one of my favorite series from Junji Itou. Unfortunately it only adapts the first chapter of two, but it's a fun horror from Itou in how Oshikiri has murderous alternate selves who experiments on his classmates. The cast's acting and deaths were great, especially the last one of the evil Oshikir's bones expanding in length while his voice changed as he faded to his death. 7.5/10. Souichi's story of having cloth puppets replace his teachers which drains their souls is another fun story from him while being somewhat funny to his humiliation and cursing one of his classmates with a beard. Surprisingly and somewhat disappointingly it completely removed the prequel to this event of a doctor quickly followed by his teacher (the one who first gets a soul draining puppet) attempting to support Souichi in going back to school and becoming a happy healthy successful student, which slowly drains his teacher mentally before he's replaced by the cloth puppet. 6/10. In regard to flaws from these two adaptions. Souichi's voice actor is an awful directed cast with his old creepy man voice, and the animation of flames, and worse the beating of Oshikiri as he was getting abused with hooks on top of him were terrible in how poorly executed and stiff they were... but aside from that, these stories and adaptions themselves were good. Although Oshikiri's death victims looked odd in art/animation from Studio Deen's comic art-style of Itou's work, but they remain faithful to the original art even if they're not slick in appearance from their color and animation. |
| first part ending was scary with another Oshikiri comes from behind. i like the concept. my god Souichi is back lol second part was so silly and entertaining. it just hilarious. can't believe i'm laughed this much from watching Junji Ito Horror. |

| Lol the MC is coming back with His stupidity XD |
