![]() ![]() The truth is that Ito is incredible in thinking up how to mess with everyday world in order to bring horror elements and create an ominous and very unsettling atmosphere. ![]() To be frank, that’s not really the truth. Junji Ito is an acclaimed mangaka and arguably one of the best in making horror stories. Still, the result seems to be rather frowned upon, so there arises a question – who’s at fault – Junji Ito or ufotable? ![]() Other ufotable’s projects had been even more obscure, so Gyo was a perfect opportunity to show off technical capabilities and affirm the name of the studio as one among the best in the industry. Returning to Gyo, its anime adaptation was made by ufotable, and that’s another interesting fact since at the time it was made the studio was just starting to build up its fame – Kara no Kyoukai movies weren’t as known and Fate/Zero had started half a year ago, but in times of Steins Gate it was crucial not to be a studio known only for one good anime. ![]() Despite being popular, the only Ito’s work that has received an anime adaptation remains Gyo (which is interesting by itself), and Ito’s relation with anime remains relevant because of the new adaptation of some of his stories that has been announced some time ago. For once, Junji Ito is a name you probably encountered if you’ve had any opportunity to familiarize with horror manga. Still, there are a number of reasons why Gyo is worth investigating. First of all – why is Gyo important? It isn’t, really. ![]()
