Queen_Stars said: Anime_Name said: The main character in the anime was the girl and she was looking for her boyfriend in the manga the MC is the boyfriend and he is looking for the chick. Nope? The GF was with him the majority of the story in the manga; she was with him when she got ill and we viewed her condition progress as she was by his side; the premisis of the story was him searching for an answer (not searching for her). Close enough. The MC ended up looking for the chick in the manga anyway and the MC in the OVA ultimately was seeking answers in the search for her BF. |

| wow WOW That was one of the worst anime I have ever seen in my life. I loved it. It was a blast. XD |
 |
| No resolution in the end? Just leave the place? The movie was kind of enjoyable except the later that it was kind of gross and the ending was just left like that. The sex scenes somehow spiced up this show. I was quite taken a back when there was even in the street. I was quite amused by that scene. |
| Some of you guys are being pretentious; Gyo was perfectly fine! I'm like, dude, develop a fucking sense of humor, for Christ's sake. |
| I was expecting something else, but in the end they didn't even maintained the Ito's visuals on the characters. Quite disappointed but I can understand people who legitimately enjoyed, especially the ones who watched this before even knowing about the manga or didn't care that much about it in the first place. Ah, and ufotable could've done so much better with the animation. Well, I guess was the budget been used on unecessary 3D on every scene. |
| What the fuck. The manga is a million times better. |
| Well that was fucking hilarious. |
 |
| What the fuck did I just watch? |
 |
| Wow. This was like some B horror movie. It was so bad that it's good. The three girls were just fucking awful characters. I don't get how such differing personalities even end up as "friends." Disappointing that Shirakawa died. He seemed like the most sane one in the show. |
 |
| Well, that was funny. Was sort of like a B horror movie; zombie movie with dark humour. However, it was still a piece of shit with an abysmal ending. 3/10 and may lower. |
| Didn't think it was that bad, I liked the animation and didn't mind the sex scenes. But overall it was a bit boring and the I really don't like the open ending. Anyway, I really hope people will animate more Junji Ito manga's |
| I was absolutely terrified... ...by how bad it was. |
| Haha wow that sure was awful. Just like everything else that comes from Junji Itou. |
| I actually thought this was a fun little OVA with a really weird wacked out sense of dark humor. It doesn't work as a horror piece, the atmosphere just isn't there. However, the characters aren't half bad for such a short run time because the anime isn't so much story driven as it is character driven... sort of. I mean it is driven by it's characters but sometimes I though it more like psudo-character driven when really it was about getting to it's weird set pieces. Which were always entertaining even if most of the time I was laughing out loud rather than scared or feeling particularly sympathetic to the characters. I dunno, I guess fart powered zombies amuse my inner child, same goes with all the really gross moments and gashunk was actually pretty awesome. The animation was lacking and the art design wasn't all that appealing but it wasn't terrible either. I gave it a 7 out of 10 but it's on the low ends of the 7 scale. More like a 7-. |

| "Tadashi! Lets home home together...!" ... I don't even. This made me want to take 47238947237647 showers. |

| Totally fun movie. Read the manga and loved it. But never really needed a accurate adaptation, so I am kinda glad that they turned the story into this actionpacked horror-flick. Perfect for people who are into this kind of movies, but you should really consider reading the manga also. The manga for the story, the movie for the fun. |
 |
| Ufotable made major changes, so what, that doesn't mean that you can't enjoy it and I certainly did although there were some loose ends and that still unsatisfying ending. messedup said: Perfect for people who are into this kind of movies, but you should really consider reading the manga also. The manga for the story, the movie for the fun. As if the story was that great. |
| This anime is in the same category as slither make you feel nauseated throughout the whole thing. |
| Hooooooooooooooooly shit, that was shit. No wonder I skipped over it when it was first released. It just got stupider and stupider. I could've sworn it was a comedy for the first few bits. Now, I just want my time back. :( |
| The fuck did I just watch? I was like O_O the whole time, interesting story though quite fucked up in some ways but still quite original! |
 |
| For a couple of years after House of 5 Leaves I've been waiting for something new that would fit my taste in anime, and finally this is it! Extremely dynamic, moderately gory, original and... you know, after numerous attempts of watching all these monotonous "cartoons" this is also FRESH (ironically, huh? :) ). |
| I read the story a while ago (maybe a year?) so this seemed good enuff, they even included the circus tent. |
| i don't know Junji ITOU make me dont know what to say about his works part is so good (the images the ideas he buildups ) but to many plots holes to many bad characterization and lots of stupids scenes GYO good to see but as story there to many holes but good horror the good things is good and the bad things is real bad |
 |
| You can't end the disaster movie without killing the bad guys :/ Really the story has no ending whatsoever, it's like cutoff the last 15 min of the movie. Nothing has been explained, not even mention the unlogical holes everywhere. |
| Shit is retarded. It's not only a horrible adaptation, but the original source is mediocre to begin with. I did not mind the Tadashi-Kaori role reversal, but other characters serve almost no purpose whatsoever to the plot. The voice acting and directing are simply awful. The only redeeming factor is the above average animation, and even then, the sharks look pretty bad imo. 2/10 for the OVA 4/10 for the manga |
 |
| Was mind fuck the whole time this shit was mad stupid, some of this twisted shit can never be unseen god this was awful. had me wtfing the whole time. sick shit. |
| Well.... It's definitely different, though not as gross as others have made it to be. Not the worst way to spend 70 minutes. |
Live forever, or die trying |
| I just saw this at a con. When the shark appeared in the window, I am not the least bit ashamed that I said out loud, "Telegram." And if you have no idea what the hell I'm talking about, you're too young for this discussion.. |
| Somewhere, there is an unplugged toaster sitting on a Coleman stove. Does it feel lonely? |
| I don't think I care that this adaptation was so different to the manga. The first half was pretty intense and well done but the second half felt boring. |
 |
| Man, this movie one of the most disgusting and hilarious piece of shit that i have watched. This reminds me of those Anaconda and spider movie flicks. |
| Well this is one hell of a long OVA. Ufotable huh? Nice. That monster in the beginning was fucking disgusting tbh. That was one hell of landing anyways. So it's shown that these fish creatures can infect others too. Damn, the new Erika is disgusting. Really weird OVA tbh. I just read the manga synopsis and seems like some shit was changed. Oh well, odd OVA anyways. 5/10. |
 |
| Why the low score? O.o I really liked the whole idea to be honest. It totally deserves more than 7 at tge very least. I would love to see an adaptation of Uzumaki as well but oh well, that's just me. |
 |
| oooo.. boy.. what happen to the endings story... >_< |
| First 15-20 minutes (basically the Shark stuff) really felt like an intentionally campy horror movie, but then it just went to shit (in many ways it seems). Completely illogical, not really that interesting or scary, but at least unintentionally funny at times along the way I guess. |
  |
| Not good but not bad, 5/10. |
| why the fuck would you land the plane? did i miss something? |
Fo-Fai said: why the fuck would you land the plane? did i miss something? It was almost out of fuel and none of the other airports were available either. |
 |
| Most disturbing shit Ive ever seen.... and trust me, Ive seen a lot of disturbing shit in my days with anime... |
~my list
| loved a new perspective in comparison to the manga |
"Urushibara Ruka. The mannerisms and voice of a woman... No... More feminine than any woman. But he's a guy. Taller than Mayuri, but so very thin... But he's a guy. Looks great in a miko outfit... But he's a guy. It's already twilight And yet, it's so hot. The cicadas are crying. But... He's a guy." |
| for god's sake, it was so shoddy and inferior to the manga, mainly the forced porn stuff... Gave it 4/10 only for the good screenshots that can be taken from it |
| I feel like the producer just skimmed over a couple points of the manga and felt like he was ready to roll.This wasn't just bad, it was very bad and pushing towards being appalling. I would love to see a faithful rendition of a Ito work; they are some of the most unsettling things I've ever had the pleasure of reading. This on the other hand was the worst animation I've seen since Pupa. It's odd that both of those works were Horrors that had tons of potential, but just fell flat on their face. But for real, someone needs to be put in jail for raping this story. |
| What....the....fuck.....sums up my feelings on this. 5/10 simply because I don't know what to think about it. |
