ANIMISERY: Junji Ito Collection (feat. Otaku Host Club)
from Otaku Melancholy · host The Otaku Melancholy Team
What do you do when you have some masterful example of manga with a mangaka who has talents almost insurmountable in artistic quality in vision? Why you make an anime adaptation that completely butchers his work and vision while bringing his name to shame! Studio Deen sure thinks that's the way to make an anime adaptation as we celebrate the last (functioning) week of June-ji Ito Month by reviewing Junji Ito Collection! With a pedigree of such high standards (and plus since Brad couldn't be in this week), we got some help for this with some of our best podcast boys and girls: the Otaku Host Club! We talk hard about what is actual spooky, popping zits, and if Junji Ito hit the bong a little bit to write his works among a few other things but I can't really spoil that cause I have to entice you to listen to the episode and all. I really wasn't ready to have to host an episode all by myself. I don't like being mean.
