In my continuing self-indulgence as a soapboxing manga fan, I got the opportunity to rave about the works of Junji Ito, the horror mangaka behind The Enigma of Amigara Fault, Uzumaki, and many other groundbreaking horror manga classic works.
I capture video interviews with Ito himself, links to discussions of his work, and much more. Some say Junji Ito is more silly than scary, but I actually see a balance in the man’s work. It really is like a far-east capture of the spirit of western horror anthology comics, such as EC Comics (Tales from the Crypt, The Vault of Horror, The Haunt of Fear) & company.
“This is my hole! It was made for me!”
Bonus Buck: I’ve written a heck of a lot more about anime, you know:
- Must-Watch Anime : Hulu 2020
- Pokemon – A Guide For Desperate Newcomers
- A Beginner’s Guide To Anime And Manga
- Why A Death Note Adaptation Is So Hard
- VTubers (Virtual YouTubers): Is This The Future Of Entertainment?
As a geek and a freelance hack, I have the card-carrying obligation to tap-dance about anime and manga whenever somebody waves enough money in my face. Somebody has to, I mean – who else writes about anime and manga on the web?
