New TV Anime 'Junji Ito Crimson' Will Drop On Crunchyroll
Junji Ito's terrifically horrific manga will have its newest TV anime adaptation, titled Junji Ito Crimson , released on Crunchyroll. Announced during Japan Expo 2025, the upcoming anime will also feature Yumi Matsutoya, the renowned Japanese singer-songwriter, performing the opening theme 'Karasuageha'.
Other than that, there has not been any further information released to the public. It is currently uncertain what the format of the upcoming anime will be, nor has it been confirmed which staff or production studios will be involved. However, an announcement trailer has been released to give fans a sneak peek of the upcoming project.
There have been quite a few anime adaptations of Ito's manga, including Junji Ito Collection (2018), Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre (2023) and Uzumaki (2024). Although Ito's legendary horror manga has broken into pop culture thanks to his unique art style and concepts, unfortunately, his works have not had much luck in anime adaptations. Some adaptations even faced poor reception upon launch for various reasons. Uzumaki (2024)
Nevertheless, the work of each preceding adaptation's creative teams has given fans new takes on Ito's works, each worthy of a watch because there are always fresh perspectives to glean from each of these adaptations. With the upcoming Junji Ito Crimson focusing more on Ito's monstrous creations, coupled with the crimson motif, there is no doubt that this will be an exciting prospect for fans and casual viewers alike.
Conversation with Ting Wei is like chatting with a weird AI bot programmed only with One Piece lore and theories, sitcom quotes and other miscellaneous pop culture references. When he's not sleeping, he's highly likely reading manga. In fact, the only thing he reads more than manga is the Bible, and it's honestly pretty close.
