Mixed Feelings
Preliminary (Unknown/7 eps)
Junji Ito is certainly one of the masters of horror, but here he seems to slip. Most of the stories in this collection are... not scary, to put it bluntly, even as shockers. Ito is certainly a master of suspense but the concepts here are too predictable and at times bizarre to be considered traditionally scary.
The best stories here are The Bridge and The Conversation Room, although they aren't as good as his other stories. Although the art here makes it worth checking out if you're already a Junji Ito fan, overall this doesn't have much to offer as a collection.
