Oh no

yikes

>coming exclusively to Toonami / Adult Swim
Yeah, no.

Yeah, they generally sticked close to the original stories, but the directing was really mediocre so a lot of the impact was lost.

I hope it isn't english dub only.

>more naruto

umm.... yikes???

Will probably be good, isn't Berserk's very respected in Nippon?

>guy's face digitally transforms into a spiral
>deathcore music with rapping starts playing

I hope they change the ending. Because manga ending is dogshit.

If it isn't someone that is mentally insane and autistic like Takeshi Koike producing a 7 year long visual masterpiece, this adaptation will never work. A lot of what sells Uzumaki is the visuals, the concept keeps the visuals engaging but you're always looking foward to that next page turn into the grotesque.

The story is whatever as most ito stories tend to be shit, you only really care about the characters/story because as long as they're alive and rolling you keep getting to see the insanity keep going. Only a very well made animation production could capture the look and feel of a Junji Ito comic.

Would watch.

Today I saw a spiral tree

I hope this adaptation is total shit, because that would do the manga justice.
halfway through when Ito runs out of variations of the same setup-to-SPOOKY FULL PAGE SPEAD REVEAL OF SOMETHING SCARY it just devolves into a shitty Akira ripoff

Thank fuck we can finally put Boruto in the DBGT camp. The new continuation of Naruto is fucking here!

Reminder that Uzimaki ending is dogshit. Nothing is explained at end and MC dies, so what was the point of all that. To tell a story about spiral aliens? HAHAHAHHAHAHH
GARBAGE

If only satoshi kon was alive, that man knew how to animate a thriller, I'm sure if he was given creative control he could really bring out the nightmare vibe junji ito inspires

>music by Colin Stetson
Wow, that's a bold choice. He's great at establishing a claustrophobic, nightmarish atmosphere.

Looks like kino

Didn't Naruto already get an adaptation?

Toonami and Crunchyroll are owned by the same company.

i still have nightmares about the GREASE one
did it ever get adapted? please say no

The ending is fine, it's just left vague because it's cosmic horror, not meant to be explained. The problem for ito's writting is that characters tend to go full cartoon villain when they get infected by whatever is the cosmic horror involved in the story, which isn't deep and psychological, it's just grotesque.

I love Ito's stories because of their concept and visuals, not so much characters and story.

No

>did it ever get adapted?
Yes. Episode 2. DEEN 12 episode anime. Look it up

thank you

It's a seinen adaptation so expect PS3 models with 5fps animation.

maybe

>All the Naruto jokes
Very original, anons.

At least with this one they have a story already. Of course that doesn't guarantee anything but we'll see I guess.

>All the Naruto jokes
To be fair I genuinely thought it was getting another adaptation until I read Junji Ito.

As long as the faggit in charge of toonami doesn’t have a say what goes in this time around it should be fine.

>The problem for ito's writting is that characters tend to go full cartoon villain when they get infected by whatever is the cosmic horror involved in the story
This is the main problem I have with Ito's work. It's hard to be scared when the people don't act like people.

it looks good sorry

Yeah, I understand the concept, it's trying to show people being consumed by the madness and the insanity, but for most characters there is no progression. A lot of characters in the Tomie series for example, just flip from obsessed with tomie to murder hungry, while others get a nicer progression where you get to hate tomie along with the character. It's just not consistent because the stories are short and there is no time to fully develop each character and make their transition more realistic and in turn tragic/horrific.

Yes the 1997 version and Golden Age exist thankyou

This actually looks pretty cool.

I remember watching this thinking my player was choking

Hold the phone, it actually looks interesting

For a teaser this looks promising, especially Kirie's animation, if the whole thing is animated like her, with good flowing movements keeping the character's design consistent (which is not common in anime style, which compromises on quality by cutting corners) there is hope this will look good in motion and will make sense to be made into animation.

Because why are you animating this if you aren't going to make it better or as good as the original? What is the point? The whole draw of the manga is the amazing illustrations, why make a shitty drawing and make it move and pretend it's an adaptation?

doubt they'll animate it like this desu

Smoke cloud could've looked a little better, but the soundtrack carries the eeriness for it

Hard to tell how representative such a teaser is, but animating the whole thing in black and white would be a great design choice.

It was comically bad. There were some small things I liked about it like the ED, but overall it's not worth watching. Just read the manga.

How many animes are in black and white?

wow this looks and sounds amazing

Considering it's Nagahama, I would believe this is what it'll actually look like.

>4 episodes
who cares lmoa

DeMarco confirmed that the whole thing will be animated in black and white.

that's fantastic. what a good choice.

You are such a mongoloid that I will help you understand it.
Everything is explained by the MC and the poing is to tell a story about spiral ancient entities.

>kinomaster Nagahama is directing
Based.

There better be a nip dub. I can't stand eng dubs, there's just something really wrong with the voice acting or directing of English anime dubs. Even other countries like Italy and Latin America do it better.

>coming exclusively to Toonami / Adult Swim
already getting bad vibes

I just hate that the girl was still able to walk, and the source of the spiral was just over there, and she decides to just lie down and die next to the dude.

HOW COULD YOU NOT GO LOOK?

I vaguely understand her losing interest once the guy died due to their relationship, but still.

Yep he is the only reason why I’m not feeling hype for this.

drr drr adaptation when?

fuck man, i had hopes for it being good but i shoulda known it wouldn't translate well

But it's not coming to Crunchyroll.

What they have to do is an abridged Shippuden series without all the pointless filler

>toonami
Guaranteed to be shit. FLCL Alternative style

Alt was mediocre, progressive was the one that was hot garbage.

Most of Junji Ito's stories have the main character die. Ito likes to paint hopeless situations and then at the end the monster wins. That's like 90% of hi stories

twitter.com/Clarknova1/status/1167589687642296320
>already confirming that there is cut content
so what will they skip?

nah that's actually good barring the AS premiere part of it

The FLCL sequels came to Crunchyroll after a year. It'll likely happen faster with Uzumaki considering Toonami and Crunchyroll established a partnership earlier this year.

Anything involving breasts

>Alt was mediocre
Pretty much. It was innofensive honestly. I liked that it tried to do its own spin on FLCL without trying to directly copy it with the main girl not wanting to grow up vs Naota's aboutl learning to let himself be a kid. Also kinda dig how the irons end up winning in the end. It's got kind of a bitter sweet vibe to it.

>Only 4 episodes
I read the whole series and from what I remember every chapter or two could be a single episode. Maybe this will be like Castlevania where the first season is only 4 episodes and depending on reception it'll get more

I like the direction

Adult Swim aired FLCL with subs on April Fools, I doubt they'd only do a dub.

I feel like you could cut out stuff like her hair turning into hypnotizing spirals and not lose much.

This

How does Yea Forums do it? Even with all it's flaws it still manages to maintain a level of quality far above the other media boards.

You know what, I'm gonna be hype for this. I certainly have way higher hopes than I ever did for the Ito collection, which I knew was gonna be dogshit from get go. This has potential.

already pointed out, slowpokes.

I really doubt the whole thing will look this but hey, for a teaser trailer it's pretty good.

Accurate

I dunno how much gore is permitted on television. Or if that counts.

to be fair, top is (accidental) molestation, not just fanservice

I don't think any anime has been censored for violence on Adult Swim (at least not in the past 10 years). Like, they aired Hellsing Ultimate uncut. They do censor sexual content though.

It'll probably be garbage, but if it ends up being passable, that's fine, too. Of course, the manga stands by itself.

Its a joke that has been done a million times in different shows, Demarco is a fag for cutting it.

If it manages to be at least 100 times better than the Deen version, it could be an ok show.

They either air the episodes uncut or use the censored Japanese broadcast.
The attempted rape in SAOA was censored because that was the version Aniplex sent them.

Get ready for a FUCKTON of CGI

The one clip we see is already 100 times better than the Deen version

well, it honestly shouldn't be difficult to surpass the smoldering dumpster fire that was the Collection, so I'd fucking hope so

Someone gotta start dumping the wembs.

Demarco is a fag for not researching the source material before acquiring a show. Should have learned his lesson from PTE.
>Let's air a comedy that demands the viewer be familiar with the source material beforehand

As much as I hate Demarco, that wasnt his decision.

the pregnancy chapter for sure, even if it is one of the scariest

Yes, it was. Every show that airs on Toonami has to be approved by him.

I'm still extremely skeptical but based on this it's worth at least giving it a chance.

Fucking narutards

Nope PTE was from the top guy Mike Lazzo

I seriously hope they don't cut the hair chapters, they are top tier horror comedy

I'M UZUMAKI JUANITO

Is this Daiz's fault again?

Uzumaki will be animated in 1997? Cool!

How much pull does he have though? I'm going to be honest, I don't really understand the role toonami plays in anime production when they make shit like FLCL.

Mike Lazzo has never watched an anime outside of Cowboy Bebop, FLCL, and The Big O.

This reminds me of AnH a lot already

Basis

Honestly can't believe how hard it slapped me on how the composer is probably the perfect choice in making music for Junji's stories.

Airing PTE in America would be like airing Family Guy or Archer in Japan. None of the jokes would land with the audience at home. You need to have read the manga to appreciate the humor of the anime. And the dub kills so many Japanese seiyuu references. Their parody of Professor Oak was done by Oak's actual Seiyuu.

calling it now, this is gonna end up being great and Yea Forums's gonna have to begrudgingly live with the fact that it's a toonami exclusive

It depends on the show. He gave a lot of input on IGPX, I'm pretty his only creative involvement in FLCL was making sure it could air on American television, and for Blade Runner it's confirmed that he's hired SJW writers.

Shut up, Mista.

Yes and no, he had little involvement with Alt but he has said that he had a large creative input with Prog.

>4 episodes long
Uhh there’s no way they can cover the whole manga then right?

Already confirmed there will be content cut.

guess i have to add another word to the filter

cannot wait to see the laughably shitty endings in animated form with awful 3d

If they cut the right stuff, they'll hit it out the park.

I imagine they'll do away with most of the one off spiral incidents around town and focus majorly on the grand scale changes. It kind of sucks a bit, cause the one off spiral shit sort of adds to the atmosphere as the town slowly starts to experience more and more bizarre incidents and everything starts to fall apart piece by piece.

I honestly hope they keep the Lighthouse
That chapter ingrained itself into my memory

most of the one offs are better than the later parts where the plot takes over imo

I think they vary, but they do add a lot to the story even if they are spirals of the week sort of.

Missed opportunity, now it’s being ruined by dubfags.
It was fine, retards wanted movie quality and forgot that it’s more a of a comedy horror than actual horror.

>dub only
>just take the manga and use blue and photoshop animation
Into the garbage it goes.

Besides being exclusive to Toonami, this sounds really good.

You fucking retards. It's just Toonami for the west and dub airing first. JP is likely getting a limited release on the big screen then BDs. Nowhere they stated the eng dub is the only dub.

You talk as if Mr. Toonami himself is going to direct the anime or something. The director is Hiroshi Nagahama:

That one was retarded, even for Ito standards, however I wouldn't mind if they keep some of the most absurd ones like the one about the couple or the spiral hair

Yamishibai is the only anime that has genuinely scared me

Long Dream

They don't exist
The closest to good for me are Shiki, Higurashi and Ghost Hound.

Hellstar Remina if you want to laught but also have nightmares.
Tomie if you want a boner but also nightmares.

Why can't they anime Remina?

too funny. the animation will only make the flying scenes more goofy.

Holy shit that's spooky.

>Seiyuu

>Hiroshi Nagahama
He was fucking top tier on Mushishi and DMC, but remember, he did The Reflection.

But I want to see the landing on Remina scene with uncanny purple colors and flora.

shut up baka gaijin

Just call them cartoons and comics you fuckin weeb

It's gonna be shit but Ito is fucking boring so who cares.

It's not really possible to make 2D animation truly scary in my opinion. At best all an anime can do is make you uncomfortable or give you the creeps.

What? Most of the stories animated in the Horror Collection weren't supposed to be comedic.

My hair is suddenly going all curly.

>shuichi
>not comedic
Good thing the 1st ep was a plep filter.

Can you read? I said "most".

The slideshow 90's anime and the golden age movies are both retarded trash. Berserk will never be good animated, and neither will anything from Junji Ito. Some things will just never translate to animated form well.

Is the manga worth it? I'm in the mood for some good horror kino right now

Look again, most were comedic.

>tfw no spooky supernatural gf

Its america, we don't give a shit about violence but we throw a fit over slight sexual imagery.

Nah that one has to stay in, they are probably just cutting the dumber stories like the flying kids, the hair chapter, or guy on a spring.

Yami shibai 1 is the only good one, all of its many sequels are garbage

The latest episode may have been the worst

Why? The whole point is visual I dont see how this could be adapted. Hell I dont think any of his work could be adapted, unless you had a animation masterwork going on.

Hell I'll be optimistic though who knows, mabey they have some interesting way to adapt the visuals properly.

Don't be. This guy named Jason Demarco thinks because he is buddies with Mitsuhisa Ishikawa he can just throw a little money at his favorite Japan things, get industry no-names involved, and it will somehow just magically work out ok. Except enigmatic low quality production, dishonest promotion, and just utter disappointment.

This is what gets me the most about Ito's long stories, nobody actually acts like a rational human being, they all operate on horror movie logic where the only person who realizes that something weird is going on is promptly ignored

They'll cut the spiral galaxies for certain. Even the manga cut the part about spiral galaxies.

Shinsekai Yori isn't exactly a horror anime, but it's pretty creepy. If you make it through the gay shit in episode 7 or something, it keeps getting better.

Not too much, but just a bit more. I feel like the premise deserves more narrative.

Guess I’ll be cautiously optimistic about it

The FLCL sequels weren't directed by Demarco either, and they still sucked.

Because they were directed by shitty directors.

Also aside from language and nudity edits, Toonami always airs its programming uncut and even aired the Hellsing OVA's. As far as violence is concerned there won't be any censorship.

>Had a large creative input with Prog
So that's why Prog was the shittier of the two sequels.

>Mushishi, Aku no Hana
How the hell do you go from Mushishi to Aku no Hana

This was a play on those old American cartoons. The joke seemed to pass over everyone's head.

They're both extremely non-standard works, visually speaking, doesn't seem that odd.

Aku no Hana isnt even that bad.

I can't afford the fas gois or Caviar she craves.

So? How does that confirm that this is going to suck when a new and arguably competent director is at the helm of the project? Is it just because it's Toonami? You can't be this dumb, user. Like I said, it's not Mr. Toonami that's going to make the show all by himself, that's not how studios work. Toonami is just a brand.

I'm just saying Toonami seems to be fucking cursed. Pretty much all their originals and co-productions since the revival have either been busts like the FLCL sequels, or crashed and burned despite a very strong start like Samurai Jack. Granted, the fact that Uzumaki is an adaptation rather than a completely original story or continuation means things are looking brighter already.

True. It's looking very promissing and I think there's little chance for this to suck, given that there's competent people behind it now. The fact that they chose to go for a black and white look rather than full color tells me that the direct has a good head on his shoulders. Even though it isn't as detailed as the manga, it still looks league better than the Ito Collection.

Impossible to adapt.

If only all manga adaptations are animated like that.

It looks like you're reading a manga but it's moving.

Bet you think the end in I am a hero and Liar Game suck. Fucking brainlet

the end of I am a Hero does suck though

>twitter screencap

I'm excited and skeptical at the same time, especially after the debacle the last time they adapted Ito's stuff.
