I read this with a few friends in a call once and I really liked it. I just hope the adaption isn't bad.

What are you talking about? Konosuba is trash and Rakugo is only good because they got outsiders working on it!

Konosuba is trash? Lol, good joke man.

Thank you very much Sir!

Gonzo made Welcome to the NHK, did that suddenly made the stdio good? Nope.

Plus I have seen Rakugo (it's in my favourites). But they also made The reflection and were part of Neo Yokio's production.

I don't really trust adaptations of horror/terror mangas to anime because all I've seen have been bad and I don't think this is the exception, sadly.

We're gonna have a Pupa 2.0, probably.

I'm hyped :O please live up to the potential.

really hope this is able to match ito's entertaining stuff, his stories while not exactly good most the time are almost always crazy or interesting enough to grab your attention.

also please adapt the one where the dude is just trapped under the house pillar, that is the funniest thing ever and would be legendary in anime form.

Well we've got confirmation that we're getting Souichi, Oshikiri, and Intersection Pretty Boy. Those were some of the best stories out of the collection imo. If they pick the one Souchi chapter I'm thinking of for the last ep then it'd be the perfect finale.

Here's hoping they adapt Memories of Real Shit too.

The "Deen is trash." meme is pretty much dead dude. Have you seen Konosuba and Rakugo? They aren't a bad studio.

I'm looking forward to see if it can translate well into animation without the mangaka eerie and atmospheric art touch.

Oh man, I didn't know they were adapting his anthologies. I remembered reading a few of them and they're mindfuckery creepy.

Actively prays that it's good.

Deen is somewhat capable but not ideal. We still don't have a definite director so, fingers crossed.

eh, these days im less scared of Deen getting involved in something (even tho sometimes, they reminds us that they can be garbage, like with the ao oni movie .-.).
The director sure is a little bit ... questionnable, but hey, the source material of Diabolik lovers was terrible to begin with.

Please be good. Please be good. Please be good.

I hope it's a good Junji Ito adaptation for once. Can't wait to see it!

Fuuuuuuuuck. Is this because ufotable fucked up Gyo?

If this becomes Pupa 2.0, horror anime is dead forever.

Excited for this collection! I just hope it's executed well... *crossing fingers, closing eyes to likely reality and trying to stay positive*
