| The second story is the surreal/nightmare-esque shit that I love |
| Everyone going crazy thanks to the music. The cucumber full of eyes was very creep. |
 |
| Oh this ep is just great. |
 "Please stop talking about math when I'm eating." |
| First one was ok. Second one, setting was extremely interesting, the plot itself a little less so. |
| lol at the censorship. Breasts are so scary! Town of No Roads was just horrifying. Imagine never having any privacy, ever? Of course it would make people go absolutely insane. Hell, the girl's family poking holes in her ceiling and wall was terrifying enough. And perverse. |
| Here I was ready to see some titties when Town Without Streets started. Better than trying to use a light beam though. Even if the original is kind of a mess I still liked it, so I'm a bit disappointed with how it turned out here. I don't think it'd be so bad to give the longer stories their own devoted episode, rather than try to cut them down, but oh well. Fun fact, Town Without Streets served as some inspiration for the game Siren. If you've played it then you can probably see where, the Shibito Nest. Oh yeah, and the Record story was fine. Think they changed it a bit though, can't quite remember. Nothing really major. |

| i didnt understand second story please someone help |
| I didn't really understand what happened either but I think she was still in the dream world. Hence the ring and the serial killer. |

| First story was pretty good, the atmosphere in the jazz bar was perfectly portrayed. aSuperiorGamer said: I didn't really understand what happened either but I think she was still in the dream world. Hence the ring and the serial killer. Look at facebook, a lot of people are throwing out their privacy for no apparent reason. Some ladies loves this kind attention(the girl`s aunt), other are afraid of but still forced to do it("why are you not publishing new photos on facebook?! You are strange"). World without privacy was probably her nightmare. The killer was probably observing her and as far I can say he breach her dream to find about the boy with a ring and then killed him? Seems plausible, especially because the killer was right there to "help" the girl twice. |
| For the record, obsession can kill. Something so alluring can dazzle people and turn them into savages. The excuses the two made even after clearly getting caught was funny. She's so sick of people barging in from everywhere that she just went on naked. They censored her tits. Those lighthouse heads are pretty much the village's surveillance team. |
 |
| Both stories were pretty bad this episode, as both felt like they were missing a lot of information and were rushed. The animation also continues to get lazier. About 7:00 minutes into the episode a man looks around the corner after the girl who stole the record, and he just sorta slides around the corner rather than actually make any motion. It's really distracting stuff that takes me out of the show. |
 |
| I watched the dubbed version and it wasn't censored :P Aunt was totally topless and you can see the guy's guts at 19:46 (his body is covered in darkness in the subbed) |

| My most fav episode of Ito Junji Collection: • Collection no. 022 is hauntingly beautiful • Collection no. 038 is stressing out |
| The 2nd story can be a metaphor for the internet. When you join the community, you practically surrender your privacy and identity whether you want to or not. Wearing a mask symbolizes being anonymous in order to not attract attention to yourself. |

| why everyone saying the episode was "censored" the nipples and gore was clearly visible. Anyway, a lot of stuff was left out LeturLefr said: for anybody who's thirsty enough, the aunt in 2nd story is topless in the manga :^) In the anime, she is also topless tho @LeturLefr No idea there was one, so it came out after or what |

MacchiaStella said: why everyone saying the episode was "censored" the nipples and gore was clearly visible. probably because you watch the uncensored release??? |
 he takes what he's lost and discards what he's won, he's every bit as alive as you and I |
well yeah, tv release would be censored and then the blu-ray/dvd would be uncensored.  |

| In Used Record, Cutting Nakayama's remorse from killing her friend Ogawa, Ogawa singing as a corpse, and the backstory to the singer Paula Bell is disappointing. A struggling singer who finally gets her recording debut, gets into an accident and demands she's carried to the studio even though injured. After her last breath, a few minutes later, she starts singing to which they started recording at some point. Amazing horror. The impact of death from a stone to Ogawa's head to kill her was a little bit underwhelming, but overall great adaption. Hearing the interpretation or accurate/inaccurate song from manga to animation with voice was magnificent. Beautiful song and as haunting as hoped. Both dead girls singing together in sync was great also. Glad to see another of my favorites from Junji Itou so well adapted, even if it was condensed with some cut content. 8/10. Town of No Roads isn't exactly one of Itou's best, nor is it a favorite of mine, but it's still good for how interesting it is in the concept of no privacy in one town. I think it cut a bit of extra insight as well to the boy who had a crush on her and her aunt's dialogue, but another solid adaptation, Except for the lame censoring of gore from injury and removing nudity which plays to the fact that the Aunt grew to not care about privacy anymore in this town. The beginning remains odd in how her family somehow adapted the same behavior from that town, but the concept of townspeople being able to move around anyone's homes like public transport is interesting and disturbing to imagine. The sleep hypnotism is weird and random in regard to this story, so, 6/10. |
| Used Record was crazy, they really die from chasing the record. No Privacy Town, that's wild 😵 How Junji Ito got this idea from... |
 |
| This episode is quite sadistic... |
