It's probably going to be the best Junji Ito adaptation yet, although that's not saying much.

Ito's manga are already pretty mediocre and this will probably be even worse because it's highly doubtful an anime studio can match his artistic skill

>Ito's manga are already pretty mediocre
Most are but I would say Uzumaki is the closest to having an actual ending.
Camden Martinez
Adam Nelson
Apparently, Hiroshi Nagahama will be the director for the series. He previously directed Mushishi and Aku no Hana, among many other projects.
Carson Lewis
All I'm saying is that Gyo's OVA and the Junji Ito Collection were pretty bad. Even if Uzumaki ended up being mediocre, it would still be the best out of the three.
Jaxon Hughes
Oh no dont get me wrong I agree that they were shit, I just have high hopes for this one based on the trailer and the fact that these niggas decided to keep it in black and white. Also the music is coming from the guy who worked on the film hereditary so there's that as well.
Lucas Taylor
even with an ending it still relies too hard on ineffectively ripping off Lovecraft, like every Ito manga that's not Tomie
Jack Jackson
mite b cool
Colton Powell
The music was eerie as fuck, it might be really good if the music keeps setting the same atmosphere as in the trailer.
Jordan Mitchell
All modern horror rip off Lovecraft in one way or another. Niggercat
Jaxon Rogers
get the feeling its going to be a still shot fest
Nolan Rodriguez
I can confirm listening to stetson while reading uzumaki increases spookiness by 80%. They've made a good choice.
Joshua Collins
Man, I feel so bad for her brother, stuck as a snail forever
Jack Myers
ending up as a snail is probably better than what happens to the guys in the building
Oliver Davis
I can't believe how normalfag-tier Junji Ito is now.
Chase Cooper
I like that even the music sounds "swirly".
Christian Ortiz
why? He's been popular as fuck for ages

not sure if it'll be good but that bari sax playing was fucking awesome
Kayden Cooper
Check out Colin Stetson on YouTube, he's pretty good
Eli Sullivan
who are you quoting?
Robert Martinez
Anyone know the track title? I checked out Stetson's other tracks but I don't like them as much as the song in the trailer, which is honestly one of the best songs I've heard in ages
Grayson Bell
maybe I just don't read enough horror, but it seems like Ito leans on it way harder than most others. Everything is a mysterious eldritch horror that can't be reasoned with or stopped, and every story finishes like a sitcom parody of a shitty student film where the final shot is a title card that says "THE END" but then fades in a question mark
Carter Bennett
Among the Sef is the song used for the trailer.

4 episodes seems like too few.
Logan Walker
nah it's exactly enough. Cut all the dumb filler in the middle and adapt the actual story
Carter Myers
Music seems good. Style seems good, but hopefully with decent animation to back it up.
Part of me is still hesitant because I think CN/AS should fuck off with throwing money at anime. My gripe there is mainly with sequels. As an adaptation this might be just fine as long as CN has no influence in the project.
Connor Young
>That soundtrack
>Literally sounds like a spiral
Fucking amazing, i hope this won't suck ass like previous Ito adaptation. I hope they will go full black&white to pay justice to Ito's dread artstyle.
Teaser was fucking amazing.
Colton Allen
The AS influence is obvious since Stetson is doing the soundtrack, which is a mixed blessing because his music is solid but attracts the wrong kind of western audience (i.e. the kind of fools who bought Ito's compilation at American eagle or wherever the fuck kinda place like that had it for quirk points)
Jason Baker
>listening to stetson while reading uzumaki
This. Made the mango taste that much sweeter.
John Garcia
>4 episodes
No way it can be done right
Adrian Reed
Nice choice of music for the trailer. It's unnervingly... spiral-ish.
Grayson Davis
Uzumaki is by far the worst Junji Ito story I've ever read, it just keeps repeating the same shit long after losing its novelty. It has a couple of memorable scenes but it's not worth it. In fact I couldn't even finish it and ended up skipping chapters until the final arc. The movie was similarly miserable and I'm confident that this new adaptation won't be any different, so I won't even bother giving it a try.
Jack Price
>Uzumaki is by far the worst Junji Ito story I've ever read
Hellstar Remina, Gyo and most of his one shots are a lot worse. At least with Uzumaki there is a decent story, you just have to ignore half the manga
Chase Cruz
I prefer Gyo to Uzumaki (and the Gyo anime to both the Uzumaki movie and the recent short anime), and the one-shots all have the advantage of not dragging endlessly, which is the worst sin as far as I'm concerned. Most of them have at least one interesting idea or visual, and even the pointless ones can be a little interesting due to their banality when you go into them expecting some grotesque twist that never comes.
Jeremiah White
It will flop
Carter Thompson

Colton Foster
I don'tget why people are so obsessed by uzumaki.
It's interesting, but I think there are better ito's stories
Nathan Gutierrez
The episodes are 30 minutes each at least
Kayden Carter
Remina is so goofy how could you not love it
Ethan Watson
it's the standard shit Ito writing except without the interesting art motifs that carry Uzumaki
Adam Myers
It's made for gaijin so they will love it.
Aiden Murphy
because most of Ito's works aren't very good outside of the art, so people glom onto the one with the best art
