I'm a big fan of Junji Ito, have been for many years, so seeing these stories adapted was a treat. Many of them succeeded very well in setting the right mood and theme for the stories, but there were a lot of snoozers where either the voice acting didn't work at all (Tomie, Back Alley) or the stories were awkwardly adapted which took the horror out of them completely (Unendurable Labyrinth, Headless Statue). But there were some absolute bangers there too (Layers of Fear, Tomb Town, The Hanging Balloons).
To sum it up, it was a very nice experience that maybe could have used some better animation, especially in the latter half of the series, but that is sort of the case with a lot of anime, unfortunately.
