haha.. my eyes catch immediately to your tshirt.. that's cool.. luv it

[@GauchoMassey]

Awesome review! And "I am become death" is an actual quote, but Junji uses God instead of death! Hearing that, I am now even more invested! Keep up the great work 🤘

[@nickyg7557]

Is it maybe bc the story plays in switzerland? Bc in German language we would say "Ich bin Gott geworden". In english translated it is "I have become God". But the german "bin" is the first singular form of "sein" (to be). So word per word translated it would be I am become god.

I think it’s so cool that ur so energetic and passionate about junji ito. Finally someone who understands how great he is

[@metalaras999]

This got him the eisner award so... yeah ❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥❤️‍🔥💯💯💯💯💯

[@Eldyra]

“I am become a god” is correct. There’s also Oppenheimer’s famous quote „Now I am become Death, the destroyer of worlds”. It’s a verb construction that’s not used anymore, but it’s definitely not wrong 😉

[@snoodlessthenoodle7863]

“Tonight I am become a god “

[@sirdingmydong2107]

I'm guessing they meant "Tonight, I am to become a god" but they probably had a spelling/punctuation mistake.

[@TheHaloDudes]

@@sirdingmydong2107 nope, its a play on the quote "i am become death, destroyer of worlds"

[@joseprendes3056]

Yes! I wondered if you got this, too. I love Ito so much! Glad to know you’re a fan, as well.

[@xcarriecatx]

Your channel rocks, I love your enthusiasm for Junji Ito.

[@nickyg7557]

I recently read this piece of ito. The Frankenstein was really good. And it also scared me more than the original novel by Shelley. It was a really cool adaptation. But sadly I wasn't as big of a fan of the other stories. I was really excited to read the Oshikiri stories after I saw the anime adaptation, but it didn't catch me that well after reading all of them. There were some good chapters I really liked e.g. penpal. But some of the others were not really my thing...like neck specter or so. Bog of the living spirits was interesting, but I think it would've worked better as a single story, not being part of the oshikiri cycle, and if it was more fleshed out. The other four stories...Hell of the Doll Funeral had an interesting plot, but was a little to short for me. Still I think the idea behind that was great. And fixed face...for me it was the least interesting story. I was relieved when it was over. Not really my thing. To play with the anxiety of going to the doctor, especially to a dentist, is a great idea. Especially since Ito was a dentist himself. But it didn't use the concept well enough I think. The last two stories about (his?) Dog non-non were cute, but not really what I'm looking for when reading Ito. All in all the main story was awesome, but the rest didn't catch me as well. My ranking of the individual stories would be smth like this: 9. Fixed Face 8. Neck Specter 7. Further Tales of Oshikiri 6. Intruder 5. Further Tales of Oshikiri: The Wall 4. Bog of the living Spirits 3. Penpal 2. Hell of the Doll Funeral 1. Frankenstein

Enjoyed the video but was also distracted by your super cool hoodie

[@aaronatkinson3050]

Wait there even mr junji ito shirts girl count me in

[@shadowmoon7821]

girlll calm down.

[@aaronatkinson3050]

Pinpal is also a name of a very good creepypasta story too

[@turtleanton6539]

Yeeees

[@Pokehon]

Just watched the anime and now I’m getting into the manga.

[@topnotchcupoftea]

Yup same I recommend to get a short story collection so you get various stories

[@Pokehon]

@@topnotchcupoftea I have read Shiver and Fragments so far.

[@topnotchcupoftea]

@@Pokehon I only read shiver but I just got Uzumaki

[@Pokehon]

@@topnotchcupoftea That is the one everyone is recommending to my at least the few I know that are into this stuff lol!

[@topnotchcupoftea]

@@Pokehon same

[@KatyushaRockets]

OMG that sweater Also, - story about the biological weapon clamp onto organic life? No Problem - story about the tree that kills? No Problem - story about why dad's dead under the house? No Problem However, I'm still terrified by the hole in the mountain story to this day especially moreso since I actually had a nightmare about it and woke up in the middle of the night because of it.

[@turtleanton6539]

😂😂😂

[@hellothere_24]

Do you think Enigma is his best short story?

[@zethrenbeltran4071]

Got mine today! Only have shiver and this, hope they reprint izumaki with that matches the new cover, really want to get that.

[@drakenpage777]

Nice shirt

[@shadowl3gion641]

I have Frankenstein for the last seven months now and. Now I have shiver deluxe edition all I need. Now is smashed

[@bouncybenny]

I love your energy, i Feel the hype!

[@tazka9128]

Never read a junji ito story whats a good starting one?

[@MorningSunglasses]

My first Junji Ito story was ‘The Enigma of Amigara Fault’. Enjoyed it a bunch.

[@paneltopanel5633]

Gyo is really really good.

[@zethrenbeltran4071]

Morning is right! The fault was a perfect intro to junji ito and was my first as well. That said, the shiver book is his perfect starter physical manga for me. Spiral, tomie, then frankenstein, in that order, if youre ready for his longer works.

[@elichess360]

Uzumaki is my favorite

[@jordanhsquared]

Uzumaki is definitely a good starting one. If you like his art style and story telling, I would definitely recommend going to his short stories. Either "Shiver" or "Fragments of Horror" are good collections of his some of his short stories. As well as there tend to be short stories at the end of some of his works. I really hope you enjoy Junji Ito! :) I love his work!

[@willbarrett2388]

which book has the evil boy in it ?

[@gabrielschulz302]

You talk too much . Please focus on the book only. Sometime we have to fast forward / skip your videos because of too much of lenght.
