I should check it out soon. I'll probably like his twistedness. For me,Junji ito's works are interesting but kinda incomplete.... Most of His stories starts of with a curse or a supernatural phenomenon... MC tries to solve it and either die or live... the thing is we never did know who or what the cause of the curse... Its like watching the Ring without ever knowing who Sadako is... and all the research that the MC did are just useless... not that its bad or anything... sometimes keeps the primal fear of the unknown but i prefer horror with backstories If you want more insanity and twistedness, try reading Shintaro Kago's Works.... his works are in the Guro side so NSFW but the stories are interesting and just plain insane haha Yeah, I can agree with you there, DKG. I feel like most of Junji Ito's works have excellent concepts, but they can often be a little lacking in terms of depth or details behind the phenominon. That doesn't work out badly at all for his usual short story format though, since with a shorter story, since I don't expect that level of detail from a 30-50 page story, and most of them wind up being plenty enjoyable due to the general creepiness and surrealness (which I not only enjoy in itself, but also adds to the creepiness, since it makes it harder to know what to expect from his stories). I really enjoyed most of his longer stuff too, like Uzumaki (probably one of his best manga), though I feel like Ito seems more 'in his element' with his shorter, one-chapter stories. I also like some Shintaro Kago stuff too. I'm not a fan of the Guro aspect, so it's really mainly a couple that stood out, but some of it's just so weird and unique that I can't help but find it interesting. Always been a fan of weird and surreal stuff in general, heh.

The only semblance of information we have is from a girl that says "it horrific" I was like "wtf just happened..." Ive also seen one of his longer stories bout 50 pages long.... the same thing happened... the MC researched but was totally consumed by the phenomenon... with less info Most Interesting of Concepts but with less details... Oh yeah, right! Try to also read Kazuo Umezu's works as well... the inspiration behind Junji itou.. he is like Junji but with more details haha xD

Interesting story, but that's one I remember being less satisfied at the lack of explanation as well. My first Junji Ito story was Enigma of Amigara Fault, which actually did have a bit more of an explanation than some of his others (well... kind of). Main thing that stuck out with it though was how it managed to be creepy while also being very unconventional in terms of horror (though I wouldn't say it's quite as creepy as some of his other stories, now that I've read more). I hadn't read anything by Kazuo Umezu, though taking a glance at what he wrote, seems like they could be interesting, so I'll definitely check him out! Any stories of his you'd say are more interesting/better to start with? Edit: Ah, wait, just realized Kazuo Umezu made Drifting Classroom. I haven't read that one, but heard a lot of people saying it was good, so planned to at some point. Maybe that'd be a good one to start with. Edited by Ajogamer, June 17, 2015, 11:02 pm.

Yeah, Drifting Classroom is a good one to start though it is more like "lord of the flies" God's Left hand and Devil's Right Hand is good too On other anime's, Nobunaga Concerto is the most awesome Sengoku story with a twist.... And damn, Mamoru Miyano really hit the nail on the MC's voice

Can't wait for more animated octopus-slaying. Well damn. Show by Rock is on episode 12 already. Got to watch tomorrow... Edited by Skybird, June 21, 2015, 10:30 am.

It got a bit rushed, but it was enjoyable. "Berry" much so. It was happy, by why does it hurt too!? Dermit Cyan!

It's 4 AM. But- Watch Oremonogatari if you want a good time Genuine words, Souly. Pure, genuine words. Watched AssClass episode 22 and wasn't disappointed. Even if I knew the events already, the wonderful animation made me excited. Hyped for more octopus-slaying on 2016. More Itona, probably GoD too, AND Kayano.

Grindblues Posts: 2,671 Group: Global Moderators Member #503 Joined: 05/01/13 Country None Location: Grancypher	TODAY'S THE LAST EPISODE OF TENSION MAX SHOW, MIKAGURA GAKUEN KUMIKYOKU!! Time to raise our toy guns and take aim! Go! Go! Go! GO! (I'm hoping that we get Overture as the ending theme song, but I'm betting it'll be Houkago Stride. That or Houkago Revolution.) Well then... Also, my two probable guesses were spot on. Both for the OP and ED. Finally, MSS is done and all I got to wait for are the BDs with the character songs. Spoiler: click to toggle Even early on, I already noticed many skipped/rushed/modified things about the story, but it didn't really affect my enjoyment. Wished it were two cours though, so that they can patch up the other characters' developments even better, like Sadamatsu and Shigure. I was a bit underwhelmed when Shigure's story wasn't really given much focus, probably mixing it with Kyoma's. Kakushinteki Heroism shows his darker side, which I wanted to see in animation too. Sadamatsu's side looked like it was done on the festival part of the series, the shooting range booth to be exact. Hanafubuki Reflect showed his loneliness well, but it looked like it was just skimmed on the anime. Asuhi and Yuuto's stories could have been fleshed out better if they had more episodes. 1-cour wasn't enough. But if some events were trimmed, maybe it could have worked. There's more to say, but basically: MSS wasn't perfect, but it was enjoyable. Edited by Skybird, June 22, 2015, 11:41 pm.
