i liked it! i like his manga and have read a bunch of it, though not all of it yet, and i liked both
maniac and
the junji ito collection anime. i've heard a lot of people don't like either, though, including apparently the folks here! i'm curious to hear what about it specifically people didn't like, since i just had a fun time and nothing stood out to me as especially off or subpar or anything.
my favorite episode was the
layers of fear +
the thing that washed ashore episode. what a great combo of gross stories!

but soichi is always a delight, too, so his stories were really fun... i think he translates really well to anime form, since he's got such an annoying voice and is always cackling and such. and i actually like
the sandman's lair a bit more in anime form than in manga! it was a bit yuckier in the anime, i thought.
the upcoming uzumaki anime seems very stylish!
