Junji Ito Collection

Itou Junji: Collection · 伊藤潤二「コレクション」

TV · Finished · Winter 2018 · 12 episodes · 24 min

In the light of day and in the dead of night, mysterious horrors await in the darkest shadows of every corner. They are unexplainable, inescapable, and undefeatable. Be prepared, or you may become their next victim.

Sit back in terror as traumatizing tales of unparalleled terror unfold. Tales, such as that of a cursed jade carving that opens holes all over its victims' bodies; deep nightmares that span decades; an attractive spirit at a misty crossroad that grants cursed advice; and a slug that grows inside a girl's mouth. Tread carefully, for the horrifying supernatural tales of the Itou Junji: Collection are not for the faint of heart.

Reviews

He finally has a worthwhile anime adaptation that isn't a complete joke. A taste of thirty years of horror animated.

Junji Ito Collection is about as bad as an adaptation can get.

Junji Ito Collection is a mixed bag. Another lackluster adaptation of the mangaka's work.
