Laughing They really didn't learn their lesson from last time did they.

At least this song is better than the last one, though I don't think either OP really fit. They seem pretty bent on drawing more people in with the loud/edgy songs and visuals. Honestly, one of my favorite things about "Collection", was it's somber, reflective ED, "Mutual Universe". Now that is a song that suits the material(the visuals were great, too; each one was different and incorporated stuff from the episode).

Just finished bingewatching the first Junji Ito collection, and I could see why the show wasn't so well received. His narratives just don't translate well on screen, they kinda rushed each segment both in art and breadth, and they're not really that creepy. Or whimsical. I wanted that little shit Souichi to die so bad.

The Tomie parts were interesting.

January seems like a weird time to release it, but I guess they don't want to hold onto it until next October

It’s admittedly kind of funny that this anthology was announced after and released before the Uzumaki adaptation. I seriously expect Zaslav to cancel the latter for a tax write off at this rate.

It's all fine and dandy for me. Loved the first series (yeah, I know not many did, but whatever) so it's all good. Really looking forward to this one Laughing

Me too! I am glad that you also liked this series! Also waiting for this news series to start airing! I like Ito-san's works so much!

By the way, OP is so freaky, I like it! It fits perfectly to Ito-san's atmosphere of delirium!
