We got a 'first look' at the upcoming anime project. No release date yet though
|
I peeped the first 3 eps on Netflix while I was at work. I've heard terrible things about the previous adaptation, so I went into this with low expectations. I've never read the original works. Seems okay. The animation leaves a bit to be desired, but the creepiness factor is certainly there. I think its strength is not over-emphasizing its 'twists', or other impactful moments; situations happen in a way that flows at the same pace as the rest of the episode. If the animation had a bit more polish, I think it would have been better, but oh well...
Spoiler for up to ep 3:

I love Ito as an artist, his sheer optimism when describing his work and warping real life and the mundane into something horrific and frightening. He really reminds me of the way David Lynch seems so optimistic and friendly even though his work can be similarly grotesque and dark. Truly a king and a top tier artist to boot.

I'm looking forward to it. I've always enjoyed the strange stories of legendary horror manga author Junji Ito.
