| What an inconvenience the first story of the skin layers, it gave me a feeling of disgust and by the way that lady went crazy and took off her skin and the worst thing is that it didn't work for her and all the meat was seen ugh The cgi of this story is really ugly, and the story doesn't make much sense but I liked it |
I'm not a critic or anything like that but I like to give my opinion |
| Very nice! Kyoufu no Juusou is one of my favorite Junji Ito oneshots, I didn't expect them to animate this one. |
| Layers was actually done well. The 2nd not as much. Though they try, they don't properly compensate for cutting out the original narration. |
| 1st one was creepy. That mother was 100% insane, even before the accident. 2nd one I didn't understand at all! |
| The first story was so creepy I love it! |
        |
| Okay, second story? Was dafuq- too short and questionable. There was a part it was so ridiculous I laughed. But the first one?! HOLY HELL. I was on the edge of my seat, pulling my hair, and almost screaming so early in the morning! That was so f- up! I'm still having goosebumps thinking about it! (I'll re-read the manga once I finish the series cause it's been a couple of years since I last did.) |

| god that layers of terror one was disturbing. |
| I have a third testicle that gives me psychic powers |
| The layers of fear is the first story from the whole show that is really scary, loved it! |
| This episode was the first that I enjoyed from the start to the end. The only thing that I didn't get how most characters could take the most fucked up things so easily. Like the doctor in the first story -"Ok, so your daughter consist of multiple layers of skin without a brain or innert organs. Do you want to take her home now or leave her in our care for a few more days?" |

| 2nd story was meh but damn I got shocked by the 1st one with the body curse and how they ripped off the skin layers eh |
 |
Ishitateso said: Well, to be honest, he looked shocked and wanted to study her more. He didn't offer them to take her home, they just took her when she was better, since she isn't under arrest lol.This episode was the first that I enjoyed from the start to the end.

| Poor elder sister now taking care of her crazy mother and her long gone sister.. 2nd story although short, it was creepy. Ocean and its dark deep depths are truly scary |
| Both of them are really creepy but mostly the first one when they are slicing the face... |

| Very eerie episode. I was creeped out once night came. Do you think in 18 years she'll be okay? LMAO also did the sister never go to a dentist before in her life? cuz i feel like a dentist would have said something The fish episode I liked. I liked how, to fish, WE are the parasites. We're polluting their homes and perhaps they think we're just as disgusting. |
 |
| I had to cover my phone screen when the mother tried to cut her own face 💀 Hmm, not a fan of the second part though. It felt incomplete. |
 |
| Layers of fear was real well done |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| First part was unbearable to watch because of that god awful mother. Batshit insane. And I didn’t even get the concept of the second story. Weak episode. |
| Anocher cool episode divide in 2 shorts!!! The first was amazing, all starts in a archaeological excavation and a strange discovery! The second, about a marine creature grounding! The first was full of horror, and I though in an onion! The second, humans how parasytes, cool!! kekeke |
| Rewatching Layers was incredibly disturbing. Moreso than the first time, I think. Maybe a little more than reading it first, with the sound effects and voice acting. Damn. |
| The first story was so good! Cursed parents meeting a cursed fate. It shows how the mistakes of parents hurt them and their children. The second story was just... No. It was more gross than horror or interesting. |
| The face rip was brutal, more so from anticipating it not being shown so vividly. Love the way the second story leaves you wondering just what are the ramifications of this discovery. |
