| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- This Tomie girl is really a manipulative character. It's too bad sensei can't see through her pokerface and true personality. That painting made by the sensei looked creepy as hell (although fitting for this show in a way). I found the scene when she got chocked out and later killed to be rather creepy. The second part/segment of this episode didn't feel as creepy as the first imo. |

They're intentionally leaving all the ones you've mentioned incomplete to encourage people to buy the manga and get the whole story, which is honestly a really sad and lame way to handle things. Admittedly, it does make me want to read Tomie and Pretty Boy Crossroads... but it's frustrating that this is what we get from a show based on the shorter works of the man hailed as Japan's master of horror. |
| "EVERYBODY, CLAP YOUR HANDS!" "PLUS ULTRA!" |
| The first story was okay. Tomie was quite a manipulative girl that could make anyone go as far to kill her. It's too bad she can't die. The second story wasn't too creepy. Those poor villagers though. |
 |
| OH YEAH! my favorite girl now gets animated!, unlike Shouichi, Tomie introduction is straight up overwhelming, but yeah the whole Tomie manga basically just like that, Tomie finds boy -> boy goes crazy -> Tomie does sick shit -> Tomie dead - Tomie revived -> repeat. and i can see why the artstyle on previous episode is just bad, maybe the team work their ass of for this episode, because this one is actually pretty good, and this episode makes me really appreciate the character design, it suitable for horror and drama. as for red bubble bushes, it’s fine, but they cut the end of the manga really bad, there’s more than just that, the execution is really weak, but i i dont mind because Tomie is the best, she deserved a lot more of screentime, her voice is cute too.

Junji Itou is already well known i guess, he probably doesnt need any recognition through anime medium, is just that there are some bunch of people who trying to create a fortune to out of it by adapting it, which is proven to be a very difficult one. i dunno why Studio Deen agree to animated this. hell, it even has 9 live-action adaptation for Tomie for the span 12 years, but only 1 awful anime adaptation of Gyo, props to Deen for trying to pull this off this year, not so good though. and yeah, i encourage you to buy Tomie manga!, its basically 750 page full of wildest Tomie antics, worth every penny. |

| I used to love Tomie, but the huge focus on her in general made me tired of the character. The second story is so gross!! |
| These two episodes was lot better than previous ones |
| I was starting to wonder when Tomie would appear (since we can see her in the OP) and what chapter they would choose. So I think that this one was an interesting choice that caught perfectly Tomie's personality, her obssesion of preserving her beauty for eternity and how every man that "falls in love" with her will end up insane and wanting to kill her in a horrific manner. The other story was good but obviously they couldn't completely fit it all in the episode, therefore they missed the part that made me cringe and felt sorry for the man who was buried in that place: |
 |
| Yes much better than the last episode though the animation on the second story was a little patchy at some points |
 |
| ok both story was more weird than creepy |
 |
| Both stories were pretty good,but first one is taking the crone for me. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| The second story is really a bad choice... The original manga of it wasn't that good to begin with. And they cut out many little parts of it here and there so it can fit with the Tomie story in a 22 mins slot... Well, at least the Tomie one was not bad, it seems they really gave it all on that one, still not without problems unfortunately... wish there were more though. And speaking of Oshikiris. I'd like to see the story with the painter girl. As to the Pretty Boy, I don't know, not really a fan of any of the follow up, I like were the first one ended. |
| Episode 9 for me has been one of the best so far, certainly better than last week. The animation seems to have improved a little as well. Which I’m glad for considering this episode finally introduced Tomie, and I’m assuming that’s why it looks better this week. As soon as I saw the first frame of story #1, I knew it was going to be The Painter! I was pretty excited. Very enjoyable to see Tomie in anime form and I think they did pretty well for that story. Ya know, as well as they could have for a 22 minute episode. The dismemberment scene was wicked gross and exactly what I was hoping to see for her first story, and I think The Painter was a good choice for her debut. The second story has always been pretty gross but also pretty weak. I went from excited and enjoying the episode to a little bored. But I had to turn off the volume at the very end because of those sounds.... I can’t listen to sounds like that at all man. |
| Isnt they are making ovas about Tomie? |
| FINALLY my perfect, beautiful Tomie makes her anime debut!♡ They did a really nice job at animating this chapter and I'm so glad the anime captured her beauty well!♡♡ Also super pumped with Blood Bubble Bushes getting an episode, they did a great jov keeping spooky! Hope they keep up the pace! |
  |
| Woah they actually went for Tomie's 'The Painter'. She's not that gross here imo. Decent adaptation of the second one although that reddish color on the 'parasite' wasn't the best choice. After those last two weak episodes it wasn't that hard to improve... |
 |
| Definitely better than the first episode, I think they did a good job animating Tomie and that second story was also pretty disgusting. |
 |
| This one was a lot better compared to episode 8 luckily, some of the animation was still awkward and weird but it wasn't too bad. Tomie part of the story was pretty weak compared to the manga though :( But still enjoyed it nonetheless. |

I expected them to save a story for her for the final Epo, matter of fact she needs more than one. I hope this anime doesn't end before they show an epo invloving the "Ribs Woman" |
 |
| Finally another good ep, the second history was so disgusting. |
| It's Tomie! easily my fave episode, even though the second part was bit weak |
| i think this was actually the best episode yet, both of the stories were very disturbing |
| Ooh I like this Tomie girl, never thought I'd like another character besides Fuchi and Souichi and she's actually pretty and hot af very interesting character, I hope she appear agan. Best girl, best character of the series hands down. She's like deadpool but better @Inukanura Will Tomie have clones now? And why does she wants to preserve her beauty even tho isn't she kinda immortal already? |

| Well now we know where the animation from the previous episode went; straight into Tomie's story! Solid adaptation of The Painter too IMO. Whoever directed this segment deserves a gold star. Blood Bubbble was a pretty good too, but like others have said I'm not too sure how I feel about them cutting the story short. Still it was effective at conveying the key story beats and I think it's an intersting take on vampirism in any case. Might be my favourite episode so far. 5/5 |

TsundeReaper said: Will Tomie have clones now? And why does she wants to preserve her beauty even tho isn't she kinda immortal already? yes, she will have clones, but the clones itself hates each other. the main reason why there’s so much chapter of Tomie (20 chapter) is probably because Tomie is spreading like wildfire mess things everywhere. she isn’t immortal, her body is just capable to duplicate themselves, her internal organ, finger, blood, even her hair. and she still retain her memories. the reason why she wants to preserve her beauty is: - she cant be photographed, when someone photos her, it ends up scary as hell, this episode is the example, and also chapter 2 of the manga. - whenever a male attracted by her beauty, he will have a tendencies to kill her, that’s why her face cant stay beauty for too long, someone will ends up kill her eventually, and the way people killing her is just so bad, this episode is the example. - she’s a golddigger and manipulative, ofcourse she wants her beauty to be preserved, it’s her asset, but then again, her lifespan is too short whenever she become a golddigger, she get killed again. - she’s actually aging, but no one ever sees it because she always die young, until the last chapter of Tomie. and addition: |

And is it finished? If it is, is there a sequel? |
| Tomie egotistical and the men become obsessive to the pint of killing her. The blood fruits was okay, they should just drink each others blood fruits :( |
 |
| Didnt fucks with these stories this episode. Felt too weird and not creepy at all |
| All the animation this episode went straight to Tomie's face, not that I don't appreciate that or anything lol |
 |

I totally agree. It would be a shame if that were the case. I liked the aesthetic of the animation so it would've been nice to see those stories fully animated, although I don't have a problem with going to the manga |
TsundeReaper said: Holy shit, it's very interesting, I just read the first 2 chapters, how many does this have? And is it finished? If it is, is there a sequel? Tomie manga only has 20 chapter, it’s already finished 18 years ago, in 2000. unfortunately there’s no sequel to this masterpiece, wish we can have more though. |

| So happy to finally see Tomie animated. I heard there are two OVAs and I will definitely watch those. Tomie looked gorgeous as usual, she's better animated than her live action version. The second story was pretty gross too. |
| 臭い- |

When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because. |
| I thought they were saving all of the Tomie stuff for the ova so this was a nice surprise, a nice introduction to Tomie as a character for new viewers |

| I just wonder what happens to the boy in "Blood Bubble Bushe" story after his girlfriend ate her own fruit?Did he die or survive?Was it shown?Can anyone tell me? |
 |
| I found the two episodes to be boring tbh. The second one became predictable after the encounter with the man. The first one wasn't that good either, sorry. |
 "No matter how far you travel, you can never get away from yourself." -- Murakami Haruki |
| Tomie's voice reminds me of the main girl in that gambling anime. As for Tomie, since she regrows from her blood cells, wouldn't we be able to kill her by burning her to ash? I doubt she'd able to grow from ash particles. And the end of that second story, after the girl drank her own blood, she'll become a vampire and want blood, so we can assume that she'll kill the guy. But if the guy also drink his own blood and become a vampire, then he'll be safe cuz vampires don't attack each other, as shown from the vampire boys. They don't attack each other, but instead group together to attack others. |
| I didn't like Tomie's story at all. I dont know much about Ito's mangas (at this moment I only read Uzumaki). and about at this point of the anime, I can say there are better stories (of the anime only) |
