"Uzumaki": Animated Horror Manga Adaptation Coming to Toonami

[Mr. Negative]

that's crazy seeing a manga animated like that. It almost seems unreal.

 

[Recca Gatsby]

Whoa I'm in

 

[Json]

Never heard but I’m in

Junji Ito is a horror legend in Japan. If you like horror check out his mangas.

Never heard of it but I'm in.

 

[Lootpack]

Almost that time.

Solid premiere and tone setter for what’s to come. The existential dread drips off of each scene, and Stetson is such a great get for the background score.

Spoiler

Some of the imagery is already sticking with me.

Homie getting turnt into Cinnabon inside of that tub and Azami’s legs breaking apart prior to being sucked into that spiral…

Still can’t believe it’s here though, lol. I mean, it’s been so long with the wait and all. Taking in some of these sequences tonight though, I totally understand why.

 

[hex]

Gonna peep this tomorrow.

First episode is good, the animation is great...whole episode felt like a nightmare...my only nitpick is it felt like the pacing was a little rushed...with horror, I kinda like slowly building dread but it felt like they stuffed maybe too much into this episode...but only the first episode, obviously there's more to go

 

[Gains]

they need to quit playing and give us a video game based on gyo

is the Gyo anime any good?

 

[NZA]

is the Gyo anime any good?

i havent watched it. i read the manga and it was great. more action oriented than a typical ito work.

First episode was pretty good. I love the black/white old school tone. Really helps with the horror. Very creepy and has my interest.

 

[Hey_zeus]

Enjoyed episode one. Need to watch more in this genre

The famous town we once knew is lookin' paranoid and now spiralin'.

Just finished watching, this was pretty much perfect as far as adaptations go.

As far as the pacing....this is the story. Junji Ito doesn't really care about epilogues, prologues, exposition, none of that sh*t. He just throws some crazy sh*t up in the air and leaves. It might bother some people, but I've read a decent chunk of his stuff so I'm used to it.

Fred.

I have no idea what I just watched, but I’m intrigued

The animation was perfectly creepy, the slow yet intricate ways people move and keeping it greyscale gives it such a unique and eerie feeling that matches the tone perfectly
