The Strange Cosmic Horror of Junji Ito’s Uzumaki

Posted on Posted in Video, WebTagged , , , , ,
For the past 3 years, I’ve started to warm up on horror, particularly J-Horror. Since watching Junji Ito’s Maniac anime adaptation on Netflix, I’ve been reading his original manga works too, and I found Wendigoon’s explainer of arguably his most popular saga, “Uzumaki”, to be a great listen. Warning: Heavy Spoilers.

Den-Den Town is becoming a tradition for me to visit every time I go to Osaka.

Dinner @ Gyukatsu Motomura

I’ve seen this chain at many places throughout Japan. They do delicious beef katsu, very much raw with a sear. There’s a hotplate to grill them to perfection and sauces to dip them in to enjoy with the salads and rice. Easy recommendation from me.

Hung out with Lito at a GiGO and caught this cute and fluffy Pochita… after dumping 4,800 yen.

The last one for this platform at least. Barely made it back to the hotel.

A good meal after a busy day of errands. Ate at their Daimaru Umeda location, above Osaka Station, though turns out they do have a more robust fare for dinner in their main store.

It kinda does seem like Peace on Earth is falling slightly apart…

The food is ‘rip-off’ expensive though. I’d still to a plate of takoyaki and maybe some okonomiyaki.
