Product Description
A devastating, disgusting "Death Stench" is spreading across Japan, creating deadly mutant fish as it covers the land!
The country is being invaded by ferocious fish with sharp metal legs, hell-bent on death and destruction! Amidst the carnage, Kaori embarks on a desperate quest to find her missing boyfriend before he is lost to the mayhem that is sweeping the land. Facing four legged killer sharks, machine driven squid and the myriad dangers of Tokyo, now an urban war zone, Kaori must find the truth behind these mechanical monsters and face an evil greater than she ever could have imagined. Based on the popular manga from the master of the macabre, Junji Ito (Tomie, Uzumaki), Gyo: Tokyo Fish Attack is a bizarre thrill-ride that has to be seen to be believed!

As a fan of the original manga series by Junji Ito, I was actually quite excited about seeing Gyo. But after reading nothing but poor reviews, my expectations dropped. Luckily, it wasn't as bad as it was made out to be. It's not as good as the mangas, but it's still good.
Gyo tells the story of Kaori, a young girl on holiday with her friends, away from her boyfriend. One day they discover a fish with legs running around the house. Little do they know that this is the start of something much much bigger.
It does differ a lot from it's original source material, with much more action and a sex scene thrown in. The characters of Kaori and her fiancé Tadashi, have also changed. Almost a complete role reversal, with Kaori changing from the whining, demanding girlfriend with an over sensitive sense of smell in the mangas. To the confident trouble magnet on a quest to find her fiancé.

Utterly bizarre anime movie in Japanese with English subtitles. For the unitiated like me, this was a freakishly plotted and exploitative horror movie, with one-dimensional characters and a gratuitous sex scene. Humour of the blackest hue abounds throughout the movie - not least when an arrogantly attractive and exceedingly slutty girl becomes a bloated methane-spouting travesty of her former self; much to the delight of her plain and previously mocked friend.
If this is your thing then good luck to you, however I think it's safe to say that I won't be troubling this genre again..!

A very well made adaption of Junji Ito's horror classic although it does have its flaws there are a couple of role reversals with characters and the art style isn't quite as dark as the manga but generally if you enjoyed reading the manga then you will love the anime but to a lesser extent. One thing that has been bothering me about the release date is why have amazon put the release date back to 1st October but play.com and many other stores have it due for release for 3rd september.
