| I really liked the second story............. |
 |
| Souichi is back! And the sandman man one was defo relatable as an insomniac. The 4 walls one seems like something you'd think of in a confined living space, quite common in Japan, and the sandman one when dealing with insomnia. I feel like both of these felt like they gave me a bit of insight into what Ito was likely thinking when he wrote these. |

| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| The concept of the 4 walls comes across nicely, but Souichi's comeuppance is not really clear since they decided to cut out the narration. |
| i really liked this episode a lot. i’ve read plenty of ito’s work before but somehow have never read any story involving souichi. i actually really fell in love with the little asshole by watching this episode so i’m definitely going to be reading all of his chapters soon lol. i also wasn’t familiar with the story in the second episode before either, and found myself really enjoying it too. i would even say i found it a bit unnerving. |
| Not a fan of Souichi (I think he's really annoying) so I was thinking of skipping the first half of this episode. I was starting to skip some scenes when the carpenter with a creepy mask-like face appeared. I was curious so I decided to keep watching. But man, I did not expect the four walls would be... four walls. Tbh this kinda made me feel claustrophobic. But as I thought, the episode with Souchi was just another annoying episode. -.- The second half tho... THAT was creepy. It took the alter ego concept to another level. The climax part was insane. The ending was spooky. |

| Souichi torturing Reiner lol. |
| I've been thinking about this anime and I've come to a conclusion that I probably just don't like Junji Ito's works. I've read only one of his mangas so far and I didn't like it at all. Also the plots of these episodes are kinda stupid. Like neither story from this episode had a conclusion or even a proper explenation on what the fuck is going on. |
| The 2nd story was meh but I really liked the aesthetic of the 1st one with the four rooms, that's the worst little brother ever |
 |
| ''Do you think carpenter Tagaisu looks strange?'' nah bro he just has a demon face no biggie. Soichi's still annoying asf haha. As for Mari.. well she had it coming -_- |
| The MC's is back with his mischief XD |

on 
| both of those ones really made me think |
| Souichi will always be Souichi. Second part kinda reminded me of Parasyte.. |
 |
| 2nd story was intriguing. Great animation and soundtrack too. And the mc looked like Ichise from Texhnolyze |
| That was, really meh |
 |
| Two shorts The first, about Shoichi and his brother, was weak, simple, one of the less interesting about this character. The second, Yuji and Mari, was short, but original! kekeke |
| soichi is the goat also im that guys alter ego |
| The prankster brother was hilarious! The one with Mari had a scary conclusion. |
| Always down for more Souichi. |
