Junji Ito's Uzumaki Anime Coming Soon
-
Love the art.
It looks better than Junji Ito Collection already.

-
Got goosepumps from the music. They better not fuck this up.
-
How can it go wrong when it's directed by Mushishi's director of all people and has stellar music to boot? Definitely one of my most looked-forward things next year.
-
I've rarely in my life been more hyped for something. The music gives me that good dread and goosebumps and I immediatley got my share of Colin Stetson stuff to listen to on loop. The art looks faithful too. I am hopeful we will receive some crazy good stuff that will nestle into our brains for months to come.

Boy that thread title was unfortunate. But hey, after five years, this at last has a release date.
-
I liked the 1st episode
-
Yeah, the first episode was pretty solid. Maybe a bit frantic in terms of pacing, but I guess that's what happens when you take an episodic manga and adapt it into a half-hour anime.
-
The only bad news is that Toonami airs this after that dreadful Rick and Morty anime. I think the show will flop because it airs after such a rancid show.
-
I didn't like it... The idea of having multiple chapters/stories unfolding at the same time didn't really worked for me, it just felt like it was rushing through the content instead of allowing it time to breathe - and that should be the most important thing in a horror story.
Probably not going to check the second episode. -
So apparently the show changed directors after the first episode, supposedly resulting in a drastic decrease in animation quality, which the fanbase has taken notice of.
I mean...I don't know. I thought the second episode was fine.
-
I thought it was fine too.
My only complaint would be it's not the series I thought it would be. I'm enjoying it, but I've always heard this was some sort of horror masterpiece, but I'm just finding it way too goofy to consider it a horror series. -
@aku-chan Uzumaki, as a manga at least, was very disturbing, to put it mildly.
Remember, remember, the 5th of November
-
@flandrian15 - I'll have to give the manga version a try.
I think I'm having trouble taking it seriously because so few of the characters are.Apart from that one guy and his girlfriend, everyone seems completely unfazed by all the weird stuff that's going on around them.
-
@aku-chan To me that added to what makes it so disturbing.
It kind of reminds me of human nature by ignoring obvious signs of something until it's too late to act.
like not changing a known dangerous traffic situation until after a horrible accident happens or climate change/global warming.
