Production I.G pushed animation to new heights to successfully adapt horror auteur Junji Ito's magnum opus.
isn’t the first anime adaptation of Ito’s works, it’s saddled with the unenviable task of having the most to prove, given that both Netflix and Crunchyroll tried their hand and failed at living up to the source material in their respective anthology series,
In their wake was the consensus in the anime community that Ito’s specific brand of horror couldn’t be adapted into anime.Despite the show’s significant setbacks and self-administered delay to recreate “the quality of the intricate designs and detailed line work of” Ito’s magnum opus,‘s premiere episode is nothing short of a triumph in animation that was well worth the wait.
The aforementioned Ito anime adaptations failed to meet expectations in the past, thanks partly to their dogmatic fixation on being a one-to-one recreation of Ito’s manga panels. Because anime’s key selling point is animation, filling in the gaps between those iconic panels felt less like breathing life into the work and more like a flat replication akin to a slideshow.
