I really liked Junji Ito Collection. Despite its flaws, I still feel it was a solid adaptation of some of Junji Ito's best works. However, I can't help but feel that quite a few stories that should've been in it weren't. That brings up the question: if Junji Ito Collection got a season 2, which stories would you want to see? I took the time to set up a 12 episode selection of stories of my personal picks.

EPISODES
1. Tomio - Red Turtleneck / Secret of the Haunted Mansion
2. Beehive / Headless Sculptures
3. Lovesick Dead - The Troubled Woman / Love as Scripted
4. Clubhouse / Sword of the Re-Animator
5. Hallucinations / The Dark Drinks Blood
6. The Hanging Balloons / Fixed Face
7. Ice Cream Bus / Magami Nanakuse
8. Blackbird / Whispering Woman
9. The Groaning Drain / In the Soil
10. Long Hair in the Attic / The Thing That Drifted Ashore
11. The Enigma of Amigara Fault / The Souichi Front
12. Army of One / Fashion Model - Cursed Frame

OVAs
1. Frankenstein - Part 1
2. Frankenstein - Part 2
3. Frankenstein - Part 3

What do you guys think? I'd love to hear your opinions of the list, as well as the stories you would like to see if this ever were to happen!

Couldn't have said better myself, Uzumaki comes to mind though. Wish Junji Ito finds different publishers to do the animations

This seems like a pretty solid set up! It would be great to see these animated.

I'm probably super late to this but personally, I wouldn't want a second series.

I'd prefer OVAs or ONAs, each one dedicated fully to each story to truly bring his works to life; I'm not saying that because I didn't like this series but I think it would be a better way to focus on them.
Black Paradox is a manga I enjoyed quite a bit and I'd love to see it in an anime form, but I think a series with two pieces each just isn't quite enough time to give each story the respect it deserved. For smaller stories, such as Cursed Doll and Song from Beyond the Grave, an episode of two works. However, I think a more in-depth series with the episodes focusing more on each story would work better. The Human Chair is one I would like to see in anime form as well, but small OVA/ONA series of works such as Mimi's Ghost Stories would be wonderful, in my opinion.

A 2nd season would only ruin Junji Ito's reputation even more

This would be a really great series if they do a second one would love to see Frankenstein as a feature though but could cover it in an OVA. Excellent list.

Which was your fave from season 1?

It absolutely blows my mind that they didn't include Army of One or The Enigma of Amigara Fault, considering they're some of Ito's best / most terrifying short stories. If there is a season 2, I hope that those two are included, but I also hope the season is adapted by a better studio. I wouldn't hold my breath though, as I'm sure nobody lining up to adapt a second season after the poor reception this season got.

hanging balloons, the bully, town without streets, bio house, groaning drain pipes, headless sculptures, bronze statue and the story of the mysterious tunnel.
