Set for January 19th, so I assume it'll be up tonight at midnight. 12 episodes adapting 20 of his stories. I've only read very little of his work so far, but I love his style. Can't wait to check out the show.

No. I have seen what happens when someone tries to animate Junji Ito before. They keep trying to do it and it always fails.

I watched a previous adaptation named Junji Ito Collection, and it was mediocre, so I'm not excited anymore

will the animation actually be good? I could have sworn there was another junji anime but it was bad animation?

My standards aren't high, so I'll let you be the judge.

Junji Ito's art is never given justice, so no.

If the uzumaki anime ever comes out, they've shown that they nailed the aesthetic. The color and animationn in these collections kills his work.

Just watched the first episode. It wasn't very exciting. I'm hoping the next ones are better.

I'm kinda skeptical. JI's work doesn't translate super well to animated form overall.

I think a lot of it is because a big draw of his stories comes from the visuals, which work a lot better as stills and which are really hard to actually animate. Honestly, a lot of the actual plots are often kind of silly (though there are some fantastic ones in there too, don't get me wrong), including some of the ones that they picked for this series judging by the trailer.

Don't get me wrong, I love Junji Ito stuff overall, but I can understand why it doesn't usually work in animated form, so I'm kind of critical of this one as well out of the gate.
