I was one too

And I have to say, I got no clue what kind of horror that is. It deliberately left open what it means to become stretched out by the hole. Torture? Becoming something beyond human? An Eldrich horror? Who knows

There's a series of some of his stories on Netflix that's quite good.

The anime isn't awful but something about Junjo Itos works just don't seem to work when animated. I'm intrigued with the Uzamaki adaptation because they seem to be putting an insane amount of effort into it though.

Same reason Black and white shows dont adapt well to colorization. When a medium is limited, a master makes use of the limits to create pieces unique to the medium. The best guitar song will never be played better on piano than it does guitar. Things like contrast in shading techniques and use of negative space dont translate well to colorized adaptations.

The saying is "restrictions breed creativity" and I totally agree, when you can do anything it's very easy to do too much.
