It's been a while since we had pure Horror Anime. Yami Shibai and co probably are on a different level than this, I hope :D

Maybe as for now but, I do have high standards for Junji Ito.

I do hope that it has some sort of crude animation or just what makes you feel scared included.

Lol it's Ito Junji. The art's gonna look like scribbled crap, which can't really be taken seriously.

in my opinion, it's not going to be very good. i can't even imagine junji's work being adapted correctly - they already showed how bad they can do it with gyo. as much as i think it won't be good, i am excited. i think to do it properly, they'd have to do something like yami shibai animation.

Hyped for it, hopefully DEEN can pull off the creepiness of the manga. I wouldn't said it exactly horror but it definitely gonna be the creepiest shit out there. The story tone does get a little scary, really excited to see how DEEN pull off the music and sound.

The site has still not revealed which stories will be adapted, and noted that the characters in the key visual may or may not appear in the anime. The staff will not reveal story information prior to the show's broadcast so that viewers will be surprised.

That last sentence right in the kokoro

You can do deeply disturbing visuals in anime if you have a confident cinematography and a fitting art style to go with it. Problem is, horror stories attract neither the budget nor the talent required to properly execute them. So while I'm a fan of Ito's, I'm not holding any breath.

Wow. Could you be more laughably wrong? Dismissing Ito's artistry as "scribbled crap" is so ignorant and pathetic, thanks for being my weekly reminder that the MAL community is fucking awful.

Anyway, I'm hopeful for this project. If Deen effectively utilizes a limited rough animation style with a more reserved and monochromatic color palette fitting with Ito's iconic style this may just be half as good as it is in manga form. Fingers crossed, because we really need not only actual good Ito adaptions, but also good horror anime in general (which there is very little of imo).

Only if they do a good job. For now, the best horror anime are still Mononoke and Perfect Blue in my opinion. Yami Shibai s1 is also pretty decent.

I don't know if they can actually translate Ito Junji's creepiness into anime. Like how could anyone top his art into an anime form? It'd be too disgusting if it's adapted well, but it'd look choppy if it's adapted badly.

I'm excited to see this though. It's not everyday you get a fucked up manga in anime adaptation. Just hope it's good.

Man, don't fuk this up Deen.
Horror animes sometimes get really shitty adaptation, some even don't have full 24 minutes episodes but just short clips of 1 or 4 minutes. WTF?? So, especially with Ito's short stories, if they can't fill a whole half hour, then make an episode have 2 stories. Just make a normal episode, don't experiment with strange episode length.

Oh, the director was responsible for Diabolik Lovers, so, it's been 5 years, hope he's improved.

The voice acting sounds like shit, the thing with horror is the range of emotions is higher, more anger more fear, and you can tell how amateurish and untrained these voice actors are. Shame because Junji It is one of my favorites.

i think that one key thing in making an anime about ito's work is making it black and white. I think it just seems right. They could then also focus alot more on the expressions on people's faces and they'd imo look more messed up black and white.

@alpha_shadow, @bastek66, Y'all are crazy. The PV looked great. Comparing the animation to Yami Shibai is insulting. Yes, obviously it's more limited but that's the point. Why do you think they took frames out of Ju-on? Because it makes it feel more unnatural.

@Mywifesson, It's just a minute long preview, with half of the voice acting being gargled screaming. How can you deduce that it's terrible from that? Given the talented cast on board they're not at all amateurish or untrained.

@Tebls, lol at the implication of Another being even remotely scary, let alone the scariest out there.

@animeva 5 seconds maybe of gurgling, and even that was bad. The rest of it was just off, the cadence, the vocal inflection, it was dog shit. Clearly these people are out of their element perhaps because they have never gone to any acting classes.

I don't know what the hell you're talking about or what you were listening to, but it's clear you have no idea what good or bad voice acting is and are just speaking from your ass. Listen to Tomie speaking, it sounds perfectly fine. Even if it was off, did you ever think that maybe it's *supposed* to sound off and unnatural? Cause, I dunno, it's a *horror* anime? I'm sure these professional VA's have a much better understanding of their capabilities and credibility than some randie does.
