Something in Okinawa reeks, and it isn't long before Kaori and her friends realize that the smell is coming from dead fish, which are walking out of the sea. The fish are fused to metal legs and are infected with a disease contractable by humans that was invented as a weapon by unknown sources. After what happens to Tadashi, Kaori finds herself in a new world very much like the old one but with the stench of death.

Where it came from
Gyo: Tokyo Fish Attack was released in 2012 as an original video animation produced by Ufotable and distributed by Aniplex. It is an adaptation of the manga series by Junji Ito, which originally appeared in Big Comic Spirits between 2001 and 2002. The narrative centers on a surreal, apocalyptic scenario in which mechanical legs attached to sea creatures invade Tokyo, blending themes of body horror and environmental collapse.
The adaptation was directed by Takayuki Hirao, who aimed to translate Ito's distinctively grotesque and claustrophobic aesthetic into an animated medium. While the source material is highly regarded as a cornerstone of modern horror manga, the 2012 OVA received mixed critical attention upon release, with some viewers finding the shift in tone and character focus from the original text to be a significant departure from Ito's signature slow-burn psychological dread.
