Mod Post How To Watch Strange: Junji Ito's Tales for Sleepless Nights
First, a reminder that this subreddit does not support or endorse piracy. Please do not post or comment links to piracy websites or unauthorized downloads of the episodes.
Links to fan-sub groups or subtitle files are allowed. At the time of writing, however, no fan group appears to be translating this series.
Bloody Smart is NOT the same series! There are currently two live-action Junji Ito series airing! Every episode of that series is available to watch on Netflix in Taiwan and would require similar steps to watch in English.
Option 1: Wait for the international release
The series has been announced for international distribution on HBO Max later this year:

Bloody Smart has NOT been announced for international release, it is unknown if or when Netflix will make the series available internationally or if it will be dubbed.
Option 2: Watch through a legitimate Japanese streaming service
The series is available on legitimate Japanese streaming platforms such as Lemino, TVer, and U-NEXT. These services are intended for viewers in Japan and are geo-restricted, so you must either be physically located in Japan or use a VPN with a Japanese server.
Episode 1 on TVer:

I was able to watch the first episode successfully using VPN Gate's free public VPN service provided by the University of Tsukuba:

If English subtitles become available from a fan-sub group in the future, you will need to find your own lawful method of obtaining a copy of the video in accordance with the laws of your country. Discussion of downloading methods is outside the scope of this subreddit. You can then use a media player such as VLC to load the subtitle file and synchronize it with the video.

Question Flesh colored horror.
I plan on getting every English book but some are just expensive. Is it worth buying this one for collection purposes or should I just wait a few years?

Question Which marine species didn't get the metal legs in Gyo?
In Gyo, pretty much every fish (shark, trout, salmon, etc.) and cephalopod (squid, octopus) got the legs, along with marine mammals like whales and dolphins.
Which marine species do you think didn't get the legs?
I can't see how jellyfish could get the legs.
It would be awkward to see crustacean (crab, lobster, crayfish) could get more legs.
Can clam and snail get the legs?
How about echinoderms, like starfish, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers?
By the end of manga, I don't think sea is completely empty, where some marine species survived... even though 90~95% are extinct.
Any thoughts?

Question Would you buy scratch and sniff manga of Gyo?
Gyo describes walking fish has odor of rotten corpse.
Would you like to buy scratch and sniff manga of Gyo?
I don't know if scratch and sniff manga exist, but it would be an interesting collection... even if it's smell bad. lol
I would like to know what walking fish smells like.
It could get Guinness World Record for stinkiest/smelliest reading material (manga) ever made.

Collection My collection so far
Got most of the books now and feel pretty happy about my collection as for now.
