(also another reminder that I may edit this review)
This is actually the first time I got to read the manga that I buy before the anime adaptations (I didn't get to read all collection however but I do get some of them). When I found out that junji ito's manga will become an anime I was about to get interested as 11 - 12 year old me was a huge fan of horror and creepy stuff (yeah I don't know why I was like that either but I still like watching creepy stuff ofc).
I still remember when I read the manga and got a creepy vibe after read it. I remember felt itchy when I read this one part where a main character's dad in this one chapter got holes all over his body, probs because that was first trypophobia image I ever seen at that time.
However, when I watch the anime, it just.. not as good as I hope. Not really sure if I can say it's kinda disappointing. I can't really say much since I only watch like 3 episodes that I found on YouTube. I just didn't get any creepy vibe or scary feeling to it.
I'm not really sure if it's because the manga is in black and white, or it might because the style just didn't get as appeal as the manga. Or probably because they cut some part in the manga? I know that might sounds dumb but it could be the reason I didn't get interest in it? There this one chapter about leech in the manga and its only like 4 minutes in the anime.
I don't really know much what to say about the story since this anime is mostly a whole collection (probably not all) of junji ito's horror manga. Each chapter shows different stories and different characters (besides that weird nail kid thing). Not to mention, the animation is sometimes okay sometimes horrible. Sound was okay or nice? The voice isn't that bad though I'm not really sure about the ost. Well that's Studio Deen for you I guess.
Overall, I give this anime 3/10 but I might giving this 4 as well? I'm not sure if people who didn't read the manga or not a fan of junji ito at least think this is a decent anime, but what I know is it's a huge downgrade compare to the manga.
