Manga horror legend Junji Ito is getting an anime series based on his disturbing work

The horror genre within Japanese manga and anime is somehow easily unsettling stuff. It can veer into straight-up blood and guts, go for a psychological thrust of the thriller knife or mix the two to create something that blurs the line between gore and terror. If there is one name that has managed to rise above all others in that field, it has to be Junji Ito.
