Synopsis

Memories, both good and bad, suffuse the high school experience. Whether it's hanging out with friends or cramming for tests, everyone has something they will remember from that time in their lives. At a certain high school, one class is faced with an event that can cause people to look back on their high school days in sadness: the death of a student.

The deceased is not just any student—she's Tomie Kawakami, a popular girl with an almost otherworldly beauty. Her death was particularly gruesome: her body was dismembered and the pieces scattered. As the class tries to make sense of the situation, they are shocked when a familiar voice calls out to them from the doorway, apologizing for being late.

With raven hair and a beauty mark under her left eye, this girl is the spitting image of their murdered classmate. But she can't actually be Tomie, right?

We begin with Tomie's funeral, revealing she was murdered and mutilated. Her teacher discusses the incident, only for Tomie herself to casually appear. Flashbacks detail the gruesome incident.

The anime's main issue lies in pacing. Adapting twenty manga chapters into twenty minutes necessitates cuts, hindering the horror's buildup. Despite this, the premise remains strong, and while not overly frightening, it's unsettling.

Characterization suffers in the anime. Limited time leaves characters underdeveloped and generic, lacking likability.

Artwork is commendable, with subdued yet impactful body horror. The deliberate framing maximizes disturbing scenes.

Sound and acting are adequate, but lack complexity due to shallow characters.

Itou Junji is a well known figure in Japanese horror known for a lot of body horror. I've talked about him once before with the Gyo anime. This time around we're delving into the Itou Junji collection from Studio Deen. Specifically, the Tomie special adapting one of Itou's best known titles.

The big problem with the ...

Well, seems like this is gonna be my first review.

As someone who has read the manga before and decided "oh, there´s an anime adaptation of it, I should go watch it" I'm feeling a lot of regret.
Not only did the anime not covered everything about the story, as it is even confusing for me, who as read the manga.
The story is confusing, jumping from place to place without any background to it, and introducing new characters without actually introducing them, no background, nothing.
I really like the work of Ito Junji and I think his mangas have a lot of potential for everyone who is ...
