| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn, those creepy photos... As over the top the previous episode seemed, this one felt slightly more creepier especially with that woman with the mad-looking eyes. The mood also got quite serious with the bloodshed and killing. Shit got real this episode. |

| Souichi + Miss Fuchi Secret of the Haunted House/The Souichi Front confirmed ? |
  "Moe Desu !" |
| another creepy episode. as a fan of ito's other works i think this show is pretty solid and i'm enjoying it so far |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| That was terrifying, definitely what i expect from this series. Both stories were creepy and i was backing off from the screen a few times. |
| While each minute passed in the episode I had an image pop in my head of a building full of expressionless people working on this anime. My god, it has zero passion. |
| Im loving this anime so far. It's crazy how Ito manages to create a subtle comedy (first part) while heavely disturbing situations are shown. Im a big fan of these facial expressions and sharp structures, they really made an excellent job keeping this essence (colors and stuff) from Junji's work. Another little story (talking about the last one) which I think many manga readers will find some similarities with Junji's magnum opus Uzumaki (again some weird disease takes place on someone's body and the way it spreads is completely unknown) I've have also decided to read once per week each of these short manga portrayed here. |

| Her face is pure nightmarefuel for me. |
| The second half of this ep was kinda deep but man shit got real in the first half I would have shit my pants constantly if I were around that creepy looking monster lady....That poor girl got eaten too |
| Loved it. Loved it, loved it, loved it! I was waiting for the creepy woman story, it's definitely one of my favorites, and the episode was able to reproduce the uncanny and straining atmosphere that the manga made me feel when I first read it, wow. |
Your favorite anime is cringe. My favorite anime is a masterpiece.  |
| personally I think the second half is way better then the first half. Long dreams, a doctor becoming insane about wanting people to no longer fear death, the first victim of long dreams kept mutating or slowly decaying each day until he turns to dust I loved it. In all honesty I really wanted to see more or rather I wanted to see if mami would end up marrying tetsurou in her dreams. the first part was not really that good more like (and this is going to be a bad summary): look at this woman she's so creepy she can't be a famous model, hey let's add her in our movie, uncomfortable moments, dude she has fangs she's not human, guys that creepy woman just ate our main actress, quit lying show us proof, holy crap she's monster run, main character dies. bad summary aside the moral of this story is yes judge a book by it's cover and friends/coworkers can be idiots at times. it felt like a b maybe even c level horror movie cliche. |
| The tone got more creepier and darker. And that face tho |
| The anime delivers exactly what I felt when I was reading the manga. I think they did a very good job adapting it and that the show does justice to the original work. Here I am, hoping it'll end up with a rating of 7.xx at least. |
  I will show no mercy for you You had no mercy for me The only thing that I ask Love me mercilessly |
| The two stories in this episode was quite creepy, but that fashion model was nightmare fuel. The poor girl got eaten. Dreams lasting years sounds terrifying. |
 |
| The first story was the best to me!!! |
| Holy shit this episode was amazing. Even the spookiest moments in JoJo's didn't disturb me like that woman. The second story was also great, the concept was just so interesting and the way it was conveyed blew my mind. |
JoycelynB said: I definitely liked this episode more than the first. One complaint is I kind of wish the stories were a little bit longer but I do think they are well done. It’s over all pretty interesting and I’ll admit I haven’t read his works so I can’t compare it to any of the manga works. I do have a question for those that have read them though. Are the stories these short usually, or is there more to the Long Dreams and Fashion Model story? Technically these are short stories, but there are recurring characters like Souichi or Miss Fuchi you just saw in the first two episodes that have more than a single story. |
I will show no mercy for you You had no mercy for me The only thing that I ask Love me mercilessly |
| The woman's face in the first part pissed me off so much. It was kinda scary but her face always pissed me off. Though the ending of the first part was kinda underwhelming. I expected Fuchi to do something to Iwasaki. Would have loved to see her eating that girl too, despite how wrong it sounds. The second part is my favorite out of the two. It's got a really interesting topic because I love dreams and aspects around it. The gradual change for the worse on the guy's appearance was really terrifying to see, but when he screamed "Mami!!" it made me laugh. Dunno if it was intentionally funny or not. The concept of dreaming for thousands of years in just one night blows my mind. |
| i never thought they will put 2 story in one episode. damn i've been waiting for Fashion Model to be animated for a long time, the laughing scene is very identical with the manga, i love it. Long Dream is also very good, it's short and easy to understand, yet its still retain the horror feeling. at last the horror that is Junji Ito's masterclass is shown right in episode 2, let's hope the horror will stay the same. i do hope the animation will get better thought, some scene are like way too lazy to drawn, but it still good. i do hope Red Turtleneck, Greased, and Hanging Blimp will be animated soon:(:(:( JoycelynB said: I do have a question for those that have read them though. Are the stories these short usually, or is there more to the Long Dreams and Fashion Model story? for Long Dreams yes, it's just like that. but Fashion Model has more than that. Fuchi has a relation with Shouichi later, just like AVSB007 post on the top says, there are chapter where Shoucihi and Fuchi were together, on Chapter 4 of Shouchi Diary of Curses "Rumors", and Secret of The Haunted Mansion with adult version of Shouichi. Secret of The Haunted Mansion is truly terrifying to be honest, it will be wack if it were animated |

JestemGosiek said: Fucking hell. I never read any of the Ito's works and fuck me. After the 1st episode I thought that this series will be kinda light in tone. The visuals of this episode fucked me up. Gonna have hard time sleeping tonight. haha light tone... more like eerie creepy disturbing tone... the manga version of these stories feel creepier than the anime ones to me because the art is just not 100% capturable in the anime but i really liked this episode, much creepier and i like the second story though i couldn't watch the first part much becuase of how much the woman's face freaked me out. i remember comments from the second story saying how they're afraid to sleep now lol |
 |
| The first story was alright, the "model" was a bit creepy but that's about it. What I liked defenitely more was the second episode. It had one of those horror elements one human can do nothing about... Really reminded me of the short story with the earworm chapter. This was defenitely a great segment this time! Very looking forward to the next episode! |
| Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho |
| The first part was just too straight forward to make it interesting. I would have liked the cute actress to be the real killer or some other interesting twist. The second part had more of a sf bent and was much more appealing. |
| animation leaves alot to be desired, but the execution was definitely something leaving me very hopeful for future stories, i was never a big fan of the model story even in the manga, but I adore long dream and I think they nailed it here. The only part of the way they handled it that kind of put me off was I do dislike how they portrayed the guy turning to dust by ghosting stills, granted i understand how hard a scene to animate properly that'd be but it has me a bit worried that some of the body horror that really makes these series might not get the animation it deserves to really pull off how grotesque they are. The transformations dont happen much as they usually are off screen in ito stories but the ones we do see on screen are so fucked I hope the anime puts alot of effort into them |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Better than the 1st episode. And damn, even the thought of having an endless dream is freaking me out. |
 |
| Hell yeah! we got her! and we got Souichi on the previous episodes, so the chances of their son appearing are actually high this is awesome! And let me tell you people their son, ooooh, their son is a sigh to be feared. |
| I really not expecting the model to have such a normal and kinda "calming" voice from my (shitty) calculation, the next episode will have either: Ice Cream Bus and Father's Heart or Den of the Sleep Demon and In the Soil I hope it gonna be the later because they're good to follow up on today's adaptation |
 he takes what he's lost and discards what he's won, he's every bit as alive as you and I |
| This is so disappointing compared to his manga. The animation and art especially do the original work a disservice. |
| okay wow much better than the first episode,,,,yep I am hooked and shocked at the same time |
 |
| Miss Fuchi getting the spotlight :) A Long Dream sounds comfy, living several lifetimes at each dream. |

| I'm really surprised how good those 2 episodes were, first one was pretty creepy for anime standards. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |

The guy was was having a bad time with nightmares early on because he was resisting it, later on he was even married, the girl seemed happy too. |
|
| Better than last week. I'm still waiting for them to get into the real heavy stuff, though. |
 |
ichii_1 said: He had to pass through literally hundreds and hundreds or even millions of years of nightmares. The woman didn't give off any signs of happiness though she just seemed quiet and in a half awake and half asleep state. Though i think in the girls case the long dreams work out betterKlad said: Yeah, you dont seem to know what you're talking about The guy was was having a bad time with nightmares early on because he was resisting it, later on he was even married, the girl seemed happy too. |
| The first part with the model was okay I guess but that second part was interesting as hell, like I want an entire series of that. |
| This episode was so eerie... If they gonna get worse and worse im afraid I wont survive last eps |
iwatooshi said: God I wish they animated Mimi's stories too, but I didn't see her in the OP, so... unlikely. glad there's someone who like Mimi no Kaidan, almost the whole chapter is pretty great, too bad is not that famous unlike other Junji Ito's works. i really love the first chapter with the roomate with metal bodies, the one when Mimi goes to beach and the ash mother. i bet those will be pretty good if animated |
|
| The first story was pretty bad tbh, it doesn't help how dumb everyone was. I enjoyed the second one tho, definitely unsettling. |
 |
Doomroar said: wasnt that story of odler souichi outright retconned as a dream? Though i wouldnt mind it still getting adapted cause souichi's kid is one of the most shocking visuals in ito's entire catalogue though it would remain to tell if the anime could capture how grotesque it is.Hell yeah! we got her! and we got Souichi on the previous episodes, so the chances of their son appearing are actually high this is awesome! |
