Junji Ito Wants Everyone to Check Out The Ghost Doesn’t Show Up

Junji Ito Wants Everyone to Check Out The Ghost Doesn't Show Up

As a seasoned gamer and anime enthusiast who has navigated through countless terrifying tales from the master of horror, Junji Ito, I can confidently say that the upcoming Uzumaki anime adaptation on Cartoon Network’s Toonami is shaping up to be a chilling masterpiece. Having been left slightly disappointed by previous adaptations due to their inability to capture the intricate details of Ito’s artwork, I am hopeful that this time around, Production I.G. will deliver an adaptation that truly does justice to the source material.


In numerous instances, Junji Ito has demonstrated his exceptional skills in horror, placing him among the elite masters not just within the manga world, but across the entire entertainment industry. This autumn, one of Ito’s most acclaimed works, titled “Uzumaki“, is due to be adapted into an anime on Cartoon Network’s Toonami. In a joint venture with Production I.G., Adult Swim is set to animate this story for the first time. Early glimpses suggest that this adaptation could potentially become one of the finest Junji Ito anime productions ever made. Interestingly, Ito himself has suggested more supernatural reads for fans eager for such content in their manga collection.

Let me provide you with a simplified and engaging rephrase: Over the years, Junji Ito, the horror manga legend, has been crafting unsettling short stories filled with chilling imagery that make other mangas seem tame by comparison. More recently, some of his works like “Gyo”, “The Junji Ito Collection”, and “Junji Ito’s Maniac: Japanese Tales of The Macabre” have been adapted into anime series. However, these adaptations failed to fully convey the unique aesthetic of Ito’s art for many fans, an issue that might not arise with the upcoming Uzumaki anime.

Junji Ito Gets Supernatural With New Recommendation

“The Phantom Remains Unseen” is a fresh manga series published in Shounen Sunday, debuting earlier this year. The creator behind this work is Ruka Konoshima. As of now, there’s no official word on an anime adaptation; however, if the manga continues to receive significant acclaim, it could very well become a reality.
