So who did this family burn in the beginning? Is there a continuation of this story in the original source?

Such and such an alternative Addams family. It's just amazing.

Wow, Junji Ito is finally going to the masses. I'm going to start watching it immediately! A good video about him from Stopgame was in the "Scary, knock it out" section. https://youtu.be/u-bT7tSRVno

There was not enough tin on the part of the family. If not for the opening scene with the burning of the body (by the way, it seemed to me that they burned the mother, but probably just some kind of nouneymsh) and the number of tombstones next to the house, in general, it could be considered that just a dysfunctional family. I hope the kid builds them and makes people out of them.

@Itsviktory: The manga "Junji Ito Collection" was published from 1987 to 2000. I don't think there's a reference to Wednesday here.

@watager: Yes, but decades before that, there was the Addams Family. However, the commentator probably doesn't know about it, since he mentioned "Wednesday" as a reference.

This animation reminded me more of Scooby Doo and the Addams Family than Ito…

I don't understand why everyone is excited about the series. Everything was bad from the word at all. Who is this family, who did they burn at the beginning, why do they have so many ghosts in their residence, what was the mission of the ghost of the father at the end of the series? Sometimes the mystery gives more charm to the work, but there is no mystery here. It's just illogical/ill-considered.

Some people spat at the animation of the "collection", but compared to THIS, that animation is just a masterpiece. (throw slippers). And the stories of Junji Ito are the best.

Are these really horrors? It's more like a trash comedy. 😅

I watched a couple of episodes, guys, it's not too late, don't be lazy to read the original source, the junji ito collection, although there are 100+ chapters of manga, but it's definitely worth it, anyway it's better than the curve of the thing that was in the 3 series, the atmosphere completely disappears. Horror is much better conveyed by a black-and-white manga with a cool drawing by the author than incomprehensible graphics, I will not argue that anime + is watchable, but manga, especially in the horror genre, will be much better than anime.

Although I don't like horror, but damn, I caught a sincere pleasure from the crinkle that was in the episode. From the screaming little daughter and the eldest daughter, who thought to herself that she looked like her father, although she was not told this, it was insanely funny. A very strange and funny episode. Maybe I'll even read the original manga, who knows.

I adore Junji Ito, his style and his work, and this series gave me great pleasure! Someone is unhappy that this is trash, but is clearly not familiar with his work. Because that's what's cool about Ito - his horrors are filled with irony and black humor, but at the same time, the atmosphere is very cool. Definitely a big like and I'm happy to dive into watching
