no but Tolkien hated the beatles too and that confirms the theory
my friend was challenging me about how insanely thick and long my hair was so this is me midstream like,,, full junji ito mode
i mean i love cartoons about how the Kids Today are spending too much time on the Netflix and the Binge TV in general
but this one straight up says that the lady in blue watched about 47 hours of TV last night and the lady in pink watched 211 hours
no wonder their eyes are spirals, this is some junji ito shit
Millenials are breaking the laws of space and time to watch their damn TV shows and they need to be stopped
millennials have no respect for anything, up to and including the basic laws of the universe
the kicker is he was being asked if his work was coming from the approach of man vs. nature aka “THE ENVIRONMENT STRIKES BACK” but no. his literal words were along the lines of “sharks are not very scary if you are never in the water so i had to make them scarier, and now they have legs.”
Junji Ito has the best fucking take on horror, which is ‘wouldn’t that be weird’ and then he draws it into the most terrifying thing possible.
One of his strangest stories is about a cursed type of honey that, when ingested, is guaranteed to be the best thing you’ve ever tasted. But, if you consume it, you have a 25% of being flattened like a pancake by a giant tree demon. Characters eat it, get addicted, and that addiction forces them to risk it over and over again until they eventually get turned into a gory puddle by this ghost tree thing.
It’s a weird story, but the funny part is that Ito wrote it because he thought it would suck to be a mosquito.
I’ve never seen a picture of junji ito in my life but I can only assume this is him because that sentence instantly gave me flashbacks
‘For years, there’s only been one passenger waiting at the
Kami-Shirataki train station in the northernmost island of Hokkaido,
Japan: A high-school girl, on her way to class. The train stops there
only twice a day—once to pick up the girl and again to drop her off
after the school day is over.It sounds like a Hayao Miyazaki film. But according to CCTV News, it was a decision that Japan Railways—the group that operates the country’s railway network—made more than three years ago. At that time, ridership at the Kami-Shirataki station had dramatically fallen because of its remote location, and freight service had ended there as well. Japan Railways
was getting ready to shut the station down for good—until they noticed
that it was still being used every day by the high-schooler. So they
decided to keep the station open for her until she graduates. The
company’s even adjusted the train’s timetable according to the girl’s
schedule. The unnamed girl is expected to graduate this March, which is
when the station will finally be closed.’
