Mixed Feelings
Unfortunately a bunch of really bad stories with no point bring the whole thing down (horror stories with no point is kind of staple for Junji Ito though, so if you don't mind creepy things that don't really lead anywhere, you might like it more than I did). The animation is also quite basic and kinda static, but it has some good scares and detailed monster frames at times. Just wish it had more of that, and better animation. As it is, the aimless episodes don't work as well as they do in the manga without the amazing art style.

However, wanted to write this review to list the parts I thought were at least worth watching and I would recommend the show if you watch only these (rest not mentioned I think can be skipped, and are better experienced in one of Junji Ito's Mangas instead). My favorite episodes in order:
1. Layers of Terror (felt like the most complete story)
2. The Bully (this one freaked me out and I felt bad long after watching the episode. Really really good)
3. Whispering Woman (not really horror IMO, but I liked the feelings it evoked)

Tomb town and Ice cream bus are honorable mentions that I almost liked. The rest really didn't bring any cool visual or scares and so I felt kinda bored watching them but if you like all of the ones I listed above then you can try the rest of the episodes.
