Gyo (2012)

An anime based on Junji Ito’s bizarre two-volume manga. The fish population from the surrounding waters of Japan grow spindly legs and begin attacking people on land. They smell like rotting flesh and move very, very fast. And that’s only the beginning of the madness.
Despite being twice as long as intended, the pacing is really quite good, with tension maintained as the levels of grotesque increase and the mystery deepens. What it does best, however, is translate the frozen looks of abject terror that often overcome Ito’s characters, an indication that their rational brain can’t believe the evidence their eyes deliver.
