Oof.
I haven't watched it yet but based on the screenshots I can say I may be slightly disappointed.
That's because I probably will enjoy the voice acting and sfx.

I binged Collection the week before and I thought Maniac had slightly better animation and pacing... until I got to Hanging Balloons and saw the goofy CGI. Honestly I enjoyed the series enough a bit since I probably wouldn't read the manga anyway, but it was still disappointing to see
All my hopes for a good Ito adaptation are going into Uzumaki if it doesn't end up getting cancelled at this rate

I have nothing against Shinobu Tagashira, I am sure he's a nice lad in real life... but I genuinely want to know why in the hell did the producers behind this adaptation thought it would be a good idea to have him direct again, after the Junji Ito Collection was clearly not it.

I'm still wondering what made them go with Studio DEEN again after the last attempt. Did they really just not learn their lesson from before?

looking to the bright side this season is fully produced and animated by studio deen unlike the previous season which was fully outsourced to marvy jack.

Yeahhhh, I skimmed the article for the screenshots, so good to know it looks like dogshit again before actually giving it a try. Stick to the manga!

Some random thoughts.....
- I am not enough of an anime fan to know this, so I'm just going to ask:
What sort of reputation does Studio Deen have?
- Right Stuf Anime once had Venus in the Blind Spot on sale; so I bought it. I was singularly unimpressed; but, since I bought it on sale, I didn't mind. If anyone wants me to mail it to them, then give me your mailing address.

Studio Deen is a fascinating studio. They've created some of the best, most important anime known to the medium, and between those a bunch of forgettable garbage. They have no quality control.

More or less. Again it begs the question why they were hired again when their last few attempts at horror anime, one being the other Junji Ito Collection series, were complete crap.

Because sometimes it's easier to go with the devil you know, and sometimes you'd rather work with an untalented but very nice team who delivers a subpar product on time and in budget, versus the extremely skilled butthole who will deliver a phenomenal project, but only after six delays and 8 million bucks over budget.

What in tarnation? You say that last part as if great directors explicitly ask for a buttload of money or if they always ask for delays themselves, when that's not how anime production works, at all. Ever stop to consider that the reasoning is the opposite, that being the product is subpar because of the bad schedule?

I actually work in the animation industry and am thus speaking from experience. Talent comes with big egos and big demands. Not every talented person is an ass of course, but I've been treated like dirt by enough big name superstars that working on an uninspired show lead by a friendly, hands off director can feel much better on the 'ol mental health, even if the end product kinda sucks.
That said, the other huge reason shows come out poorly is because the production team in control of all decision making for the show have no goddamn idea what they're doing. (And yes they are the reason for the asinine schedules) There's a lot of incompetent nincompoops at the top of the entertainment foodchain.

sad to hear but also decent directors suffers from tight schedules and it's all because of the production committee (which consists of many big japanese companies) being blind and just wanting the money
