posted on by Adriana Hazra
The channel describes the anime:
In the light of day and in the dead of night, mysterious horrors await in the darkest shadows of every corner. They are unexplainable, inescapable, and undefeatable. Be prepared, or you may become their next victim.Sit back in terror as traumatizing tales of unparalleled terror unfold. Tales, such as that of a cursed jade carving that opens holes all over its victims' bodies; deep nightmares that span decades; an attractive spirit at a misty crossroad that grants cursed advice; and a slug that grows inside a girl's mouth. Tread carefully, for the horrifying supernatural tales of the Itou Junji: Collection are not for the faint of heart.
Muse Asia streamed the Junji Ito "Collection": Tomie OVA (original video anime) for Junji Ito "Collection" in India as a Halloween Special in October 2022. Muse India then began streaming the rest of the series in December 2022. Crunchyroll added the anime in India in April 2023. It added the anime to its ad-supported catalog in October 2023.
The anime premiered in January 2018 and ran for 12 episodes on television. The anime's home video release in Japan included the unaired Junji Ito "Collection": Tomie episodes based on Ito's Tomie manga in April and May 2018.
The anime adapts stories from both the 11-volume Itō Junji Kessaku-shū (Junji Ito Masterpiece Collection) series and the Fragments of Horror book.
Shinobu Tagashira (Diabolik Lovers) directed the anime and served as the character designer at Studio DEEN. Kaoru Sawada (Diamond Daydreams) wrote the scripts. Hozumi Gōda (Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni Kai) served as sound director and Yuuki Hayashi (My Hero Academia) composed the music.
