Yeah it will be shit. It has been 5 years since the previous Junji Ito anthology but it seems his manga are destined fail when being translated into anime.

The new Uzumaki adaptation looks like it will actually be halfway decent.

I’ll give it a shot, but it looks like more of the same. It’s wild to me that there was no effort to switch up the staff when the first one was so universally panned.

I feel this director who keeps doing these adaptations just isn't good at horror and even tho he must be a massive Junji ito fan he should just try something else because he isn't good at making it very scary.

I don't understand why all people complain about this adaptation. I like Ito-san's works, watched first adaptation, it was really good! They can deliver the character designs and overall desperatr atmosphere of his works. I saw trailer of this new series and I also like it.

From the looks of the trailer they've made great improvements, especially on the animation (Sarcasm), i just don't believe the director for this anime is that great at capturing Itou's horrific and Disturbing atmosphere which is depicted in some of the anthology manga's, but i guess we'll just have to wait and see, so let's judge it when it's released and ready to binge!

I just don't understand why it's so colorful and generic looking, giving it a creepier art-style would have helped immensely. 
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

Well, it wasn't shit. It was decent, definitely better than previous anthology. 
And yeah, I know it was mostly the same team that worked on previous adaptation worked on this one. 
But as far as adapting Ito's works - they were decent. Other thing that most of his works aren't meant to be adapted and working that good only on paper. 

And what is with all that Studio Deen hate, they did many great shows like both seasons of Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, by far one of the greatest animes of all time. Without exaggeration. Yeah, I get they did't have great achievements in last few years (except maybe Sasaki to Milano and remakes of Sailor Moon, especially movies), but they did their fair share of works before.
