| First is about a house full of molds, the second part is about books in a library. It didn't really explain very well what happened in the second part, and I only knew the full story after reading the Library of Illusions from Junji Ito wiki. |
| I like Furina, I love Furina. |
| The one story they decided to do in black-and-white just had to be the one where I was genuinely looking forward to the color. What are the odds lol I forgot about Library, so it was like watching it anew. But rereading it now, they sacrificed story details to fit the time. |

| Both stories are creepy and good. Second one was insanity. |
 HuaLian <3 |
| the mold one was a bit nauseating, I guess deliberately so. it was my bad for eating while I watched this haha. Delightfully creepy story tho, wasn't as a big fan of the Library one tho. |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| the first story was so boring and the second one was just annoying. seriously, this is way worse than the previous attempt at Itou Junji adaptation, the previous one at least was funny the only good thing about this show is the opening |
| Really liked the b&w aesthetics in the first story. Very upsetting and gross. Second story was a bit exhausting (too much yelling), but the colors really popped nicely. |
| Didn't like much the 1st story despite being disturbing, the 2nd one felt disturbing as well but I liked the book obsession and mansion/library atmosphere, though it was a bit confusing |
 |
| Guy kept staying in that moldy house, sooner or later he would be consumed by it.. As for the 2nd part the dude's life WAS his books, loved that and the ending. |
| He just stressed with the books and imagination thing. |

| both really nice ones there, the Book story even more so. wish that one would would have been more fleshed out into a complete episode. really nice Poe/Ligotti vibes |
| These two episodes complimented each other very well. The first story was creepy and aesthetic and I enjoyed it very much. The second story I did not really enjoy but I'll give it a rewatch later on to give it a better chance. Edit: Kay so I read the Library Vision manga version and it was better told by the perspective of Koko. She was retelling the story like a book to the audience and fit the theme better so it would have been better had they kept that angle. The twist ending was told better in manga form as well. |

| Hmm why didn't lil bro tell him what actually happened with the house. So, he could save the mc. Koko is the name of a book too? That means the wife isn't real? Or did the creepy guy turned her into a book? 🥴 |
 |
| Both of these stories were pretty bad. |
| Two shorts again The first about a home full of moho! The second, a man crazy with the books! Unexpected final in both shorts! kekeke |
| Both episodes deal with hoarding and trying to keep things. Even when the house was fucked, the MC stayed there. He died by it. The guy clung to his books, and... Transformed by it? Imma just assume he was burned with the books. |
| Maybe it's because I've had it on the brain, but all I could think of during the first story was Resident Evil 7. Meanwhile the second one brought The King in Yellow to mind. |
