| What...the fuck, did I just watch? Seriously, what in the fuck. That was some weird shit. It was one of those "so bad it's good" type of things. Except it wasn't good, and it wasn't bad. It was just...I don't even know, holy shit. The only thing I can even take away from this experience is that Erika was a slut. |
| One of the worst "horror" movies I've ever seen. I'd say that only Manos: The Hands of Fate, Birdemic and The Haunting in Connecticut 2 are worse. |
| Eh, this wasn't as bad as I thought from the rating, which largely seems to be influenced by disappointed fans of the original manga. I still plan to read the manga, but honestly few anime are as enjoyable after you read the manga, since you pretty much know every future detail. I honestly found this more entertaining than quite a few 8+/10 anime in the site rankings. It is worth a shot if you are running out of PTW on your list. |
| Typing on an ipad is like driving carpentry nails with a sledgehammer. |
| that was horrifying... ly bad... like wtf lol |
| Sex was 8/10, -2 for being too short and no nipples. But seriously, what was that even about? The one thing that would have given the entire series a purpose is the USB that the dude had, and Kaori didn't want to take it with her, like, wtf? She would rather risk a global crisis.. okay. Edit: So I heard that the manga is better? Will definitely read it someday for da sex because the premise was pretty good. |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| So what I got out of this was stink, slut, threesome, karma, I've seen enough hentai to know where this is going, Gantz, Deep throat + Anal, You're suppose stop the problem not help it, Is this MC of a chick stupid?, JoJo, Star Wars, The Flying Dead Gas Man, Gas is the master race, and Humans are fucked. What the fuck did I just watch? |
| If you see that my post is exactly 1 month old (or more) from when it was posted... Don't waste your time, especially when you want to reply with something petty & insignificant. Assume that I've moved on (because I have). |
| Well that was different. Left things as they were with little explanation, which is not a terrible thing, but... Anyways so she had the immunity to the " F(fish) virus" lol and just didnt give a crap by the end. Marvelous. =_= PLusside, like all good horror media, at least there was one slut that got killed, sorta, and tits. BANZAI? lol 6/10 for this gem. |
| wow such a low score on MAL lol it wasn't the greatest but above average, in the way that it was executed. did not like any of the female characters. |
| The horrors of genetic warfare have officially completely grossed me out. |
| I didn't like the adaption of Gyo, while it's not my favorite of Ito Junji's works but i didn't care for the changes. I didn't care for the ONA all together. |

| It was honestly not that bad. I've seen far more worst adaptations,and well, this one was quite enjoyable. So yeah they've changed quite a lot of things from the manga,which is honestly not my favorite of Junji Ito's work, but that wasn't that disturbing. And yeah the plot is a bit more classical but it's decent. |
| Still the only anime I have given a 1/10, such a bullshit movie and the walking fish wasn't even the worst part of it... |
| I'll never understand the hate this got, and still gets. |
| Gasmageddon! I really liked it until humans started to be infected, that was too gross. |
 |
| I wasn't expecting horror per say. As a Junji Ito work, it would more so be horrific in a visual or in thought, which is what this anime successfully pulled off. It wasn't really scary in terms of paranoia or anything, but the scenario was ridiculously horrific. This is, perhaps, one of the worst ways I've seen humanity go out in fiction. Even becoming a zombie would have been better, as in this story, humanity seemed to have become glomped into a hivemind of...whatever the hell that was. There was great imagination in this story, but goodness gracious was that disgusting. |
| The movie started interesting with the girls in the house and I expected a funny apocalypse setting with walking fish and sharks and some ecchi scenes because of the sex at the beginning. But after some time when Erika became a fat farting mutant/zombie and the infected people were bound on these walking machines with the hose in the butt and deepthroat it was just disgusting and very disturbing. It was no horror series for me, only a sick series that makes me feel bad and upset. |

| Mysterious fart turns people and animals into farting zombies who get mechanical legs and ass-to-mouth hoses out from nowhere. HILARIOUS |

| If they don't know where those walkers come from how are we going to know? The movie didn't even give an update if Kaori and Shirakawa survived, most of all if the disaster was eradicated. This was a half ass, no! quarter ass movie that gave us nothing about it just some obnoxious characters who bitch about each other, yeah I'm talking to especially you Erika and Aki. Maori also wasn't the best, constantly obsessed with Tadashi whom she couldn't save in the end. Looks like also the professor survived or also should I say evolved, judging by that flying object that Shirakawa saw. Stupid movie deserves a stupid rating. 4/10. |

| I've seen people wank Junji Ito for years and enjoyed the 2 stories of his I've read but good god please tell me this anime majorly altered the writing of this story because if not... God it's the STUPIDEST thing I've ever seen. |

| This was weird as fuck! |

| This is like watching an anime version of The Human Centipede. |
 |
| Well that was an experience. Wasn't a fan of the first 10 or so minutes, the characters were annoying and everything just kinda felt unnatural and forced. It improved a lot once Kaori started heading to Tokyo up until the uncle's house. That section was the best part of the movie/OVA, reminded me a lot of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. I wish it was more of that: the fish monsters and the struggle to survive while reaching the end goal. But once the infected bloated humans started to become the focal point of the story and the history behind the virus and mechanical legs and everything, that's when I started to lose hope. Overall, it was okay. Had a strong middle stage but ultimately ended up being too weird for me near the end. |
| Why did they change so much? The blueprint for a fun movie with some sort of base plot was there. Instead they split manga Kaori's demise into 3 different characters and added some pleb with a camera. The manga wasnt great but atleast it was fun and interesting to follow. This just feels like it had no passion or structure behind it. |
| Yeet |
| 3/10 and that should say enough about this movie..... but comments are free so here are mine. 1. Erika is a slut. Someone above posted that comment and it is a truism. "Hey, treat me gently. I am wounded." in the middle of a 3 way is Pure Gold. 2.Watching the Land Sharks reminded me of an all time terrible cult movie: Sharknado! What could go wrong with CGI Sharks with legs? 3. Erika and Aki .... Now here was some Laurel and Hardy action! Lots of name calling, fighting, and (gasp) revelations! Apparently Erika did the Big Nasty with Kaori's fiancee!! The name calling is fantastic. 4. All the fart and anus jokes you can imagine. Sprinkle in some "almost" tentacle sex .... some unexciting breast views..... and that is it for entertainment in this movie. The dialogue and editing were terrible. The artwork was cheaply done .... maybe to allow those CGI Land Sharks to be placed all over. At least Planet of the Apes had the beach scene with the Statue of Liberty at the end to give you a jolt. This waste of effort just had a rotting smell .....so I guess it truly was appropriate. 3/10  |

| As one who's read the original manga, I can't judge and critique this solely as a standalone movie, but as a fan of the manga, this anime adaption was awful. 3/10. Technically on the visuals and sound; the soundtrack/sfx is decent, the animation is very good, but the cast's acting is very bad. They're unsuccessful in evoking realism in their emotions, and they completely lack the skill to produce legitimate horror in their voices or any other extraordinary emotion. The addition of original characters, exclusion of one character, along with the switching of roles and dialogue was terrible. For what it was, I personally liked the original manga. Unfortunately, this anime adaptation ruined and somewhat killed the full original depiction of the manga with its changes. Overall, the sub-genre romance struggle of survival from the couple in the manga was very good, so for the scenes of close-death from them both as the boyfriend Tadashi does his best to protect his girlfriend Kaori to be replaced by (new characters) friends and another man with Kaori was unpleasant. The element of love, albeit not exactly grand in quality as a theme in the story, was very apparent in the manga. In the anime, it's present, but arguably lost and forgettable. To the point that there's little to no care for the death of the significant other in the finale in comparison to the manga. ... In the anime, the pacing of the incoming danger of crawling sea-creatures is very fast unlike the manga where the news slowly surfaces only after Tadashi and Kaori move back to Tokyo, while Kaori's legit paranoia continues as she's the only conscious one of danger who can smell the rot, as the floating bag of the fish that Tadashi killed followed her to Tokyo to which she screams in terror. There's also more hints in the anime that quicken's our awareness of what's to come. The changes in the anime are odd. Instead of being a dependent fearful woman, Kaori was switched to Tadashi's role; as a strict, empathetic, courageous woman desperate to save her lover. The anime's intention to reveal this type of character is very brief from how she judges her slut friend (Erika) for entertaining playboys, and correcting her other friend (Aki) that the slut Erika was only afraid and didn't mean to kick Aki in the face when attempting to run away. The addition and dynamic of Erika/Aki alone is decent, but in the story of Gyo, they ruin the intended horrific scenes that were of Kaori and Tadashi that builds the beginning of their horror. On its own, a slut losing her beauty, while the fugly one takes revenge by killing her and briefly attaining amnesia through trauma, to then die herself somewhat through karma to the slut is decent... but to me it's completely meaningless as the anime is subpar. In the manga, the couple are having their honeymoon on that trip, flee the shark together, and Tadashi is the one to fall and survive in that pit of sea-creatures while he was searching for Kaori who escaped. She's the one who his uncle put into his machine, while Tadashi is the immune one. I personally hate the change from Kaori, because I personally enjoyed her horrific paranoia as the only one who was conscious of the smell and the incoming danger, while Tadashi didn't believe her until they were finally confronted with the shark. Their arguments as a couple, reconciliation, along with her dependent desire of love to be with him, as he protects her was fairly entertaining. Unfortunately, that isn't properly shown in the anime because it's ruined with the switch of other characters and another man in her presence. The slight changes in the finale itself is bizarre as well. In the manga, after Tadashi finally reunites with Kaori, he finds her machine, with Kaori flayed as a skeleton, and looks into the distance... while the world continues in its current terror. In the anime, they make Kaori chuckle when replying about the smell, stating that she's used to it... when, ironically, in the manga, she detested it since first smelling it and was truly traumatized from it. ... It doesn't relay the same feeling of the original ending at all. One of a depressed man losing everything, with the world in jeopardy... to another of a woman seeming content. As for the last original character, Shirakawa- 'Meaningless as well. A videographer who coincidentally is searching for Koyanagi to frame, with a passion to reveal truth for the tragic past of his deceased parents. Worse is the inexplainable attempt to connect his passion to Koyanagi's when he also claims to want to reveal the truth. Like the other new characters, Shirakawa kills the full original intent of the manga by replacing Tadashi. Finally, Tadashi's uncle, Koyanagi. The decision to cut his full knowledge of the crawling machines, with the fact that it was the creation of his grandpa, which is what drove his obsession to surpass his grandpa's invention with his own superior machine is utterly stupid, because then there is no sense to his actions in the anime. In the manga, Tadashi brings the floating bag of the rotten crawling fish to his genius uncle to investigate which is what starts everything for Koyanagi. Even though the romance in Koyanagi's character with his assistant was abrupt in the original story, it created the scene of her being captured by him in his flying machine, while also clearing the fact that the ghost gas of the machines keeps the victims "alive", which is shown through Koyanagi and Kaori when they're both shown to be jealous as corpses when they attempt to capture their romantic interest. So, the exclusion of assistant Yoshiyama was a little surprising. Their dynamic is indeed odd for the complete lack of love shown from them, but they're used to ascertain the living emotions of the corpses in the machines. My final critiscm would be the visibility and awareness of the haunted gas. The visible haunted gas through fire in the circus didn't have the same art depiction of what the manga had at all of Junji Itou's art, which was disappointing. Nor was all of the scenes of haunted gas shown, including another where Tadashi was running away from the ghost's attempting to capture him. Very disappointing anime adaption of Gyo. |

MostCuriousThing said: Well, going by the RAW (though my Japanese is shaky), this seems like a half-decent adaptation -- but that's not difficult for me to say, because Gyo was never one of my favorite Junji Ito works. The changes were all more than acceptable. ...if only we had an Uzumaki OVA instead.... Hey bud, we are getting Uzumaki this year. just a reminder 🎗️ |
| WISHED I COULD ALSO GET TRANSPORTED TO A WORLD FULL OF MAGIC And DUNGEONS, please take me there too if you could ( ◜‿◝ )♡ |
| I watched this movie and It was dreadful |
 |
| nah big skip on this one for anyone who is curious. It is funny for unintended reasons so that's something. But yeah, other aspects even enjoyment is low. |
| i don't hate it with a passion but its one of those movies where i failed to connect or feel anything. i wouldn't care if everyone died. i liked the chaos and the gore but that's it really. also the needless fanservice ig. just a pass-time movie, guess i gotta read the manga later, which seems superior. |
 |
| not as bad as it's reputation and MAL score would suggest. But definitely not one of Ito's most notable stories either, interesting that it got a high quality adaptation before much else of his iconic works. |
