Wanted to read it before the Adult Swim series came out.

They're everywhere  :shaking

Ito is worth it, it's not like 'regular' manga anyway, you might like it.

Halfway through. I definitely like it. I was also thinking "nice, this isn't that scary," but Ito must have crawled deep into my psyche, because I woke up sweating last night and freaked out seeing spirals everywhere in the shadows of my messy bedroom for like two minutes. Like a seven year old
Uzumaki is one of his least scary stories for me, get done so I can recommend more  :shaq

Uzumaki starts awesome but it petered out by the end for me. I liked Gyo a lot more. Wanted to read the Tomie stuff but I was confused as to where to start. Fragments of Horror was pretty awesome. Frankenstein was pretty fun, too.

I suggest Fragments of Horror if you want more since it’s short stories and you’ll get variety.

It is more disturbing than scary. I really liked it mostly because I enjoy surrealist stories like this. The adult swim anime seems to have the right idea of going for the disturbing angle rather than just grotesque imagery.

Cat Diary is the actual scariest Junji Ito manga.

yeah it gets too over the top eventually, I think that's why his short stories are best, they don't suffer from excessive buildup

most of his longer works suffer honestly, I didn't like Tomie, and I hate his stupid series with that prankster kid who puts nails in his teeth

some recommended short stories:

I really liked some miniseries that starts with people who try to commit suicide and then run into doppelgangers, despite the first chapter blatantly not fitting with the rest of the story. Forgot the name.

The end part of Uzumaki is great. The filler inbetween should be left out in the anime. These short stories with the babies or the jack in the box don't really make sense in the overall series.
Title: Re: LTTP: Uzumaki
Post by: Boredfrom on February 16, 2020, 02:13:29 PM
Nah, they are awesome. They way are better than the flying gangs stuff at the end. That stuff is the only really unnecessary part.

yeah it's pretty good up until

there's a time skip and then suddenly everyone is afraid and stays in their houses because the slightest noise makes huge forceful winds and delinquent teens are going around destroying things with their breath??

The hospital chapter really fucking grossed me out for some reason. Like more than all the disturbing shit elsewhere that one really got me. Even more so than Gyo which is kinda gross all around

If youre not animu averse and you havent read the entire junji Ito catalogue you're fucking up.
No offense to manga readers but manga is an entirely different weeb power level so that's my explanation for having not even heard of junji ito until I googled curly's avatar

That isn't where my avatar's from :lol

For some reason in the RLM How Not to Make a Movie documentary, they called him "Garrett Gilcron." Not sure if out of legal necessity, or perhaps he changed his name at some point. Or possibly just Mike having Alzheimer's.
