This anthology delivers imaginative and eerie tales that capture Junji Ito’s unsettling brilliance, though some endings feel incomplete or unresolved. The animation flows smoothly, balancing monochrome and color to enhance the mood. Standout episodes like The Library Vision and Layers of Terror blend mystery and emotion, making the series a haunting yet heartfelt watch for fans of psychological horror.
