hello fellow junji itou enjoyer we will make it to october of 2022 for the new uzumaki adaptation

so i've got three?? four recs

on the light side i always love to nudge ghost hunt at people--no, it's not that anime with the wild dub track. it's a lil light novel series with a short anime about a totally ordinary girl who ends up working for a world-renowned paranormal investigator who happens to be a huge jerk and a teenage boy :D the cast is fun and lovable, and the stories range from little bits of suspenseful levity to being chock full of dead kids and references to carmilla

on the gory side i enjoyed bio meat. in the future japan's created these weird little... food creatures called bio-meat which eat any organic material and don't feel pain so it's a totally normal and ethical food source.

and then their containment facility gets damaged :D they eat any organic material. it has a neat sequel manga where america has the same idea, but worse!

third rec is mononoke, which is just... an incredibly beautiful fever dream of a show where the mysterious medicine seller tries to determine what demon is mucking a place by figuring out its shape, truth, and reason. nobody tells the whole truth and the animation is absolutely gorgeous.

bonus side rec that i haven't watched but keep meaning to, yamishibai. looks like a bunch of short paperdoll style spookum stories.

I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE UZUMAKI ANIME sobbing into my hands it looks so good. i loved the song used in the trailer and how it was so simple but set such a tone of dread

djsflkdsjdsf "not that anime with the wild drub track" read my mind and called me out for ghost stories being the first thing i thought of lmao

thanks for all these recs!
