For those wondering about why the drop in quality. The main director was kicked from the project after episode 1 and is now a completely different staff. The new director for this episode is someone who is blacklisted from the industry. Update: Ep2 went to a small outsourcing studio who outsourced it even more to like 8 studios and directors were changed to hentai animators

Well this is disappointing. I didn't like the pacing they gave for this one and the things that they cut out (ending of the hair chapter. Also dont like that weird preview for jack in a box one). Not to mention the animation. But was hoping that since the first chapter was so good that the next few would be better

Junji Ito has such a unique style that capturing it in anime is nearly impossible without making it look either stale or silly as shit but I think this managed nearly perfectly.

Snakes do fuck like that but they don't coil _that_ tightly. Usually. Some species have some rituals where two males coil basically as tight as shown there when fighting over the right to get a female. Yes, this does mean that some snake species' ritual challenges are literally equivalent to two dudes hopping in bed and dry humping each other in front of a girl to show which one of them is the best fuck around. I don't know why I find that so hilarious but it just kills me. Usually courtship duels among animals aren't _literally_ the action of sex, like, when two deer clash over the right to reproduce, the males are banging heads and antlers, which has _nothing_ to do with the actual sex that comes after for the winner. Most snakes use different methods of challenging rivals, but some of them, yeah, they do this coiling thing.

The drop in animation quality is so hard, I literally couldn't believe it. I blinked, I got my eye drops, and I said to myself "Maybe I'm looking at this wrong. There's no way the anime that blew people's socks off one episode ago looks like this now." but it does. It's stiff, characters just bob up and down now when they walk, they've got generic lip flaps, and there are way more wide shots so characters don't have to be rendered with a lot of detail. Even worse than the animation dip is the truth that it's just not scary. All the stuff with the hair was ridiculous. Maybe I wouldn't be so harsh if it didn't take five or six years to make this series, but as it is, I just wonder why. Why did this take so long to make if it's just gonna look like this? If Uzumaki wasn't such a famous work and this was a brand new, unestablished series, I probably wouldn't keep watching. I'm glad Alicia's still enjoying it, and if anyone else still enjoys it, more power to you, but I was expecting a lot more. Hopefully it picks up again by the end?

Agreed, and Jack is a favourite chapter for me; I totally thought they'd skip it. It's one of the silliest. Though the zoom in scream instead of Jack bouncing off feels bad (looks so ghastly in the manga), I'm glad it's here at all. Ito wrote a 2 page story about a guy in an impossible spot, it's the most bare I've seen his narrative shortcuts. It's always printed with Gyo. Dude has generic elements in all that genius.
