They say the first episode was great.
Then had the BIGGEST drop in quality imaginable from then on.
I was honestly surprised how well episode 1 was, like the manga to screen and the ONLY way how to do Junji Ito justice. Supposedly they changed directors and made it cheaper. We waited years for it because they didn't even work all those years on it. We'll probably never know the full story but to me it sounded like they HAD to finish it finally and then just said fuck it, just throw it out there even if it looks like shit... Honestly a shame since Uzumaki is such a great one, I highly recommend everyone to at least check the manga out.
I guess Adult Swim really fucked them over, the department changed heads while they were making it and slashed the budget to shit.
Yeah, apparently they decided to release what they had instead of try to make it as good.
Looks like the sort of horror story that fit best as a movie and shouldn't be stretched into a series.
The animation looks cool.
Complete opposite. Uzumaki spends about 40% of its run time being literal slice of life one shots in the horror town, before its one big arc to the end. If you only made a movie-like narrative of it, you'd have to cut all the build up scenes because they don't make a lot of sense chronologically.
The most famous scene with the girl above is one of those one shots with basically no further effect on the main plot other than another incident of "spiral bad."
Its tailor made for a 6 episode series, with one ep to set up, 2-3 with 9 minute small stories and then the finale.
I'll add it to my list then.
