[@realswobby]

@@Muir97 I saw Junji Ito's stories, his drawings are interesting but not scary for me. On the other hand, I was reading a spinoff called REIGEN (Mob Psycho 100) and in chapter 3 there was a legit jumpscare - I know it won't scare everyone but when I was scrolling through the pages, this moment visually was really effective, I got sweaty hands, faster heartbeat and stuff like while watching a real horror movie. And this story is not a horror at all. I guess if I totally don't expect to see smth scary, then a drawing can really scare me. When I read Junji Ito, I just know that smth horrible will happen so I'm kinda prepared for everything.

[@GreeneyedApe]

@@realswobby Lol, you're pointing out how casual he is about the "wildest drawings of monsters" but then you go on to say his horror comics don't scare you and you're not scared when you are expecting something scary. So wouldn't his casualness in this video be completely normal to you?

[@realswobby]

@@GreeneyedApe I'm not scared by the drawings in the video, lmao! I just said that the designs are wild, but it doesn't mean they scare me. Well, maybe these deer ones are a bit uncomfy... Junji Ito's drawings can be uncanny too but they don't awake legit fear in me. This is just my personal opinion, no need to be so deeply offended by it. I'm not saying that Junji Ito sucks.
