That's understandable. I personally loved the illustrations from Junji Ito's works and have been always curious as to what it'd look like in motion (specifically when it's actually a good one). Most horror anime are utter garbage so getting to see a potentially great one adapted from one of the best horror manga artists definitely hypes me up.

I like junji ito's art, but I just when I see an adaptation, I wish for it to be more than the original illustrations, not the exact same
they still did a good job though capturing the same feeling as the original illustration, considering Junji Ito's style has a lot of details
yeah but that's the problem, they seem just happy matching what was already done, not taking it further
I don't think an adaptation necessarily has to be way better than its predecessor. An adaptation is just a change one from medium to another. Sure, with a transition from manga to anime, you'll get the benefits of moving pictures and sound which you can utilize, but in no way I believe that we should hold excessive expectations from these added qualities.
I presume you'll agree that each medium has its own strength and weaknesses, so there shouldn't be a pecking order of light novel < manga < anime. An anime adaptation could never beat Junji Ito's page turn and the insane amount of detail he draws for each and every page. Instead, a sacrifice has to be made and you'll have to trade those qualities for sound and animation since studios have limited budget and time constraints.
You can't expect every anime adaptation to possess a manga's every good quality + impressive utilization of anime's own sound and animation to be the baseline or else you'll just set yourself up for failure in most cases.
TL;DR: Just translate a manga's level of quality as it as would in anime form, and it'll already be great for most audiences since animation and sound is already an upgrade.
yeah I get that, but it's just, it doesn't seem ambitious at all?, in order to actually make a proper adaptation you must take into consideration what the medium does best and worst, you cant translate things 1:1, so by trying to translate it 1:1, I don't know, i'm afraid they're shying away from doing really cool stuff with the original material and also fumbling it alltogether
considering adult swim doesn't have that great of a track record when it comes to anime, I would be a little bit worried
What do you wanna see in an anime adaptation? There're many anime that translate that manga 1:1 but just by adding good animation and sound design they're already improving the work by a good degree.
Also, I think Studio Drive would be more worrying since they're a relatively new studio will a just small number of anime made.
almost no anime adapts 1:1, it may seem like so at first, but the pacing and the how much screentime they give to everything and that sort of stuff matters even if they're not cutting plot point
but this just seems like they don't even want to cut any panel, and that is what I find like a red flag
giving an example that isn't an outlier but it's also a REALLY good adaptaiton we have yuru camp, the anime is 20 times more comfy than the manga and the manga was already comfy, it's just that the way the cut the manga and how they change the artstyle and some of the dialogue really creates a great ambient
natsume book of friends is another great adaptation, they skip thing and reorder things but it ends up being a really good anime
point is, that you need to sacrifice things or take slight risks to do this
for really extreme examples you have ping pong the animation which completely transforms the manga, nichijou which actually combines 3 different mangas into a single anime, and honestly even made in abyss that cuts out every single weird bit of the manga
for bad adaptations you have EF, which tries to cram an entire VN into a single anime and it's completely aimless because of that, or Ground Control to Psychoelectric Girl which they just add feet for some reason
