Last week was spooky for me, let's see how this week compares.

>that color choice
I'm gonna punch studio deen in the balls

When are we getting more Souichi?

Did you just assume the studio's gender

We literally got a Souichi story last week.

Man this episode was ass.

...

Too quality for me when the mouth doesn't even move when speaking.

They fucking murdered this story.
A) she's barely visible
B) she doesn't look THAT bad
C) ignored completely him going downstairs and thinking it was really a dream
D) they wasted like a minute on that damned door window looking at him walk past who the fuck cares it doesn't add anything.
Also she was speaking without moving her lips and so was he half the episode.
I'm so mad this is just lazy...

Holy fuck you can barely even see her.
They probably did that because they were too lazy to animate her mouth moving desu

I guess some stories just weren't meant for anime.

That or better people should adapt them. Junji Ito stories are probably better left as manga though.

What the hell is wrong with her eyelashes(?)?

Junji Ito's manga is definitely superior but I disagree that some of his stories can't get good anime adaptations. An actually good studio with a decent budget could easily make a better quality adaptation than DEEN's

Her eyelashes are supposed to be like that.
she's like a rotting corpse trying to put on fake eyelashes, they drop in the manga too.
Not gonna deny they could have done a way better job tho

The second story was pretty alright and it was very sad too.
It was much better.

>Kujira

...

Is Tomie thick?

Most of the stories they've picked so far feel really drawn out and lame, when are they gonna adapt the good ones?

i need some spirals

I would've actually liked the first story if they just had bothered to animate her mouth. That ruined the immersion completely for me, since it felt like some zero-budget East European kids show instead of anime.
The second story was interesting. Even the cheap animation couldn't butcher that.

If Uzamaki ever gets its own anime adaptation it'll be a series just for itself. And with the way the Junji It collection has been so far it has to be done by LITERALLY anyone but Deen.

They fucking murdered window next door. Like nobody would notice they refused to animate the woman and just used still. They also removed the best part, the narrator at the end.
On the bright side the second story made my eyes went misty.

Could you do a better job than deen in adapting these stories?

Are you were that's literally the dumbest argument one can make about anythig?

...

Eh, they wouldn't even need a good budget. They should get whoever directed Yamishibai (aside from season 4) and it'd likely do a better job than Deen's team. It wouldn't really be "animation" I guess, but it's not like this animation is good.

Second half made me feel

Which Tomie is that?

>Japanese Bruce Willis is a girl

Yeah it was really sad mang

The daughter of the old guy in Mansion.

Mansion story in volume one

Any idea what stories will show up next week? Surely somebody's figured out the story numbering by now, right?

What the fuck, i watch this show for the cheap spooks not the strong feels

I did some looking around Japanese boards and found a list of all his stories in publication order. If I read it correctly next week we'll get The Will and The Gift Bearer.

Think they'll do an episode about Glyceride?

Oops, I did make a mistake, the second one should be Red String.

They won't do anything too gorey

first part actually spooked me, best episode so far

Hey, user, watch this.

...

that last one was just sad... like every scene was just sad

Yeah that is how the original manga was too. Makes you cry evertime .

Bump

second half sorta made up for the first half, almost. First half was really terrible, but I really liked the second story

Honestly the only part that wasn't shit.

This episode was seriously bad.

So far
>better than the manga
Fashion Model, Souichi
>roughly equivalent
Long Dream, Doll Sickness
>worse
Everything else I can think of

How many episodes are there gonna be?

If we go by publication order, it should be The Will and Second-hand Record

Red string is #21 and The Gift Bearer is #23

the afterimages one was pretty good too

But they've been showing numbers, and they aren't in order.

>about to eat
>put Ito Junji
>see starting the neighbor story
>remove before watching her disgusting face animated
>come back to watch after eating
>it wasn't even near to the manga version
What a let down.

House of Puppets was "worse than the manga" but was also one of the only good segments on the show.

The fact that she looked so shitty and they still couldn't even be bothered to animate her at all was hilarious.

Uzumaki by KyoAni :^)

Is it cheap animation or are studio DEEN just being shit? Or perhaps there's some issue with the schedule for episodes, who knows?

And the title of the best Ito anime goes to this.

Mediocre mangaka circlejerked by tumblrinas with shit taste that feign depth

>roughly equivalent
>Long Dream

nani

Is this from Gyo? Why don't I remember this scene?

It's DEEN we're talking about, it's not like shitty animation is an anomaly for them.

The anime adapts the kessaku collection + fragments of horror, which contain 126 stories in total
The anime numbers are those stories in the order they were originally published

i just think studio deen doesnt care enough

It was fine. The only part I really missed was the actual visual of the dream, but they made the right call on not trying to do that.

Sup Forums seems like not appreciating Itou Junji at all judging by threads popularity

i think i remember them cutting a couple of other things out, like how he would wake up each day speaking in different dialects

That's still small enough stuff to be roughly equivalent.

Because he’s trash

no u

I think it's just Deen's adaptation. You have to admit it's been pretty lackluster.

The anime is just not very good. But it made me read the collection. I thought I've read it all but as it turns out, I actually didn't, which was a pleasant surprise.

Threads were more lively around first couple episodes. There's not much to discus, desu

i have started reading some of his works but when i download them some pages are missing or out of order so

>take detailed manga drawing
>water it down so it's easier to animate
>don't bother animating it anyway
just

Threads were more lively then because everyone hadn't dropped it yet.

Could someone storytime Golgo please?

It has zero (0) mass appeal and Deen's reputation and animation is bad.

Oh well, I like atmosphere in anime tho

But the whole problem is the anime has no atmosphere!

the whole anime is boring as fuck and i'd rather watch an anime about trap hitmen than adaptations of one of the best horror manga writers and if that has to say something about studio deen

why is deen so bad, why cant they just get their shit together

who let studio deen do this in the first place

Honestly they did get some things right, the color palette is on point for example and the pacing is overall decent. But they are fucking lazy, come on in this episode it was blatant how they REFUSED to animate the woman's face, it was extremely jarring and ruined my mood. They also dropped the ball hard on the scene from long dream where the guy's head shatters, but there they at least tried to use a slideshow.

theyve done other horror anime like higurashi, jigoku shoujo and pupa, i guess theyre the go too for it

Someone saw Pupa and thought "Now that's good horror. These are the guys for Junji Ito."

Can you link to or upload this somewhere user?

Truly the most horrifying reality

Marionette mansion is still the creepiest for me. Most of the others were just shock value but that one at least had an eerie vibe to it.

Honestly the only story I would say was improved by the anime even if they cut that one scene.

I wouldn't say "improved", but it's the only one that wasn't an embarrassment compared to the source material.

the first one leaves me longing for some beast woman ss

Here you go
It's in-progress and the numbering gets off track at some points

>better than the manga
>Souichi
nigger they cut so much content on his story how is that better than the manga

Holy shit that was retarded.

i'm so appalled that Deen can animate a stick moving but not a fucking mouth? come the fuck on its fucking 2018 and they still are not trying to improve?

She's a corpse, her mouth isn't supposed to move
