Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre (2023)
The hardcore purists are trying to sour this

With all manga adaptations it appears die hard fans will rip apart anything that doesn't 'live up to their expectations'. If you want examples of this look no further than chainsaw man, which has been torn apart. Personally, I enjoyed the Junji Ito collection and this take on his work through Netflix. I'd like to say as a fan of Ito I'm extremely happy to see his work come to life in animation form. There are far less anime around horror vs whatever isekai is out or other genre tends to breed more anime for the year. This is spooky fun and pleasant visually. Give it a go without expectations of perfection! Perfection simply does NOT exist.
