Gyo: Tokyo Fish Attack!
Written by Takayuki Hirao, Akihiro Yoshida | Directed by Takayuki Hirao
When it comes to animation I think it’s fair to say that the Japan have a unique and often bizarre way of doing things. From the icon that is Akira to the depths of depravity that often includes the odd tentacle they always manage to offer an experience you are never likely to forget. That is why Gyo: Tokyo Fish Attack! Is no surprise really, especially when you learn it is in fact an anime film.
When a strange smell of death spreads over Japan strange things start to happen. One of the weirdest is the sudden invasion of mutant fish that appear to have somehow acquired sharp metallic legs and have decided to walk on land. Kaori fearing for her boyfriend who is stuck in Tokyo decides to go find him, with...

It must be very, very strange to be Junji Ito. Given what comes out of the celebrated manga artist's head, I can only imagine what all happens in it. Best known as the writer of Tomie and Uzumaki, Ito has a loyal worldwide cult for his off-kilter horror works and that cult has embraced the recent animated adaptation of his Gyo with open arms.A story that imagines what would happen if all the fish in the world suddenly sprouted legs and moved to dry land - imagine a great white shark ambling down your street - Gyo has been a hit on the festival circuit and is about to be released on DVD in the UK on the Terrorcotta imprint. Which means, yes, new...

Director: Takayuki Hirao. Review: Adam Wing. It’s probably not a question you’ve asked yourself before, but what would happen if all the fish in the world sprouted legs and walked on dry land? That’s the question morbid manga master Junji Ito (Uzumaki, Tomie) posed when he created Gyo: Tokyo Fish Attack. Takayuki Hirao directs this lively adaptation of Ito’s manga, an anarchic animation that reeks of the ‘death stench’, a revolting smell first encountered when mutant fish bring a city to its knees. As you’ve probably guessed by the rest of the title, Gyo finds our frenzied fishy friends leaving the ocean behind in favour of big city life, causing chaos, confusion and devastation wherever they go. We first meet Kaori in Okinawa, where giant mutant sharks with metal legs are attacking her and her friends in their holiday home. When she loses touch with her boyfriend,...

No.....for once we’re not dipping a toe into the murky (if entertaining) waters of The Asylum’s never ending creature feature production machine - instead heading east, into the freaky weird and wonderful world of Japanese Anime.

An Anime getting an 18 certificate is a rare fish these days, so if you like your Manga extreme, dive in. Gyo is release Aug 20. Synopsis: An adaptation of the popular manga by Junji Ito, Gyo centers around the "death stench", a revolting smell first encountered in connection with creatures appearing to be bizarre and aggressive mutant fish with scuttling, sharp metal legs.

Screened at the 2012 Terracotta Far East Film Festival. “Gyo” is an Ova anime adaptation of the horror manga by popular artist Junji Ito, the mad genius best known for the likes of “Tomie” and “Uzumaki”. Directed by Takayuki Hirao, the film is a lunatic tale which revolves around the bizarre concept of horrible smelling fish with sharp, talon like legs emerging from the sea and laying waste to Japan. Kicking off in Okinawa, the story focuses on a young woman called Kaori, who is attacked by the creatures while on holiday with her friends. Although they survive, she loses contact with her boyfriend Tadashi back in Tokyo, and fearing the worst heads to the capital, only to find it overrun by the fish and their monstrous ‘death stench’. Although the idea of legged, murderous sealife may sound weird enough, this really is just the tip of a particularly crazed and fetid iceberg,...

Anime studio ufotable are bringing morbid manga master Junji Ito's putrid, and surreal, story of mutant zombie fish that sprout legs and attack Okinawa, Japan, to home video systems everywhere later this month.Ok. Wrapped your head around that concept yet, readers? It's eccentric to say the least. That's right,Gyo, that bizarr-o survival horror tale of a couple vs. bio-mechanical fart propelled rotting sea-life, is now a new Ova directed by Takayuki Hirao (Futakoi Alternative), and slated for release on Feb. 15'th. Ito is probably most well-known as the creator of a couple of classic horror mangas, Tomie, and my personal favorite, Uzumaki. Both have been brought to the screen in live action incarnations, the Tomie manga spawning a long running series of films, about...
