Uzumaki might be one of Junji Ito's most unique anime yet

[@jesustheclownnn]

Dude, it was so gorgeousss and so good! I'm sad the anime is only allegedly 4 episodes because I want to see more of his work adapted in that style!

[@japanbookhunter]

I’m positive more of his works will eventually get adapted more and more!

@8:13 Noticed the brief glimpse of Ito's art for the 1959 George Franju film Eyes Without A Face there!

[@franciscoj.t.t.5094]

There Is a live action film for Uzumaki (2000, Andrey Higchinsky).

[@dbugatto]

I have a DVD of that :)

[@japanbookhunter]

Didn't know that, thanks! Ya learn something new every day haha

[@jamesrascal001]

Just watched the first episode. Here in the UK it's on channel 4. It's really like watching the book artwork come to life! Looking forward to episode 2 while trying to work my way through the book ahead of the show! If you get to watch it, I hope you like it!

[@japanbookhunter]

Let’s hope it comes to Japan sometime soon!

[@jamesrascal001]

Fingers crossed you get it soon! 🤞

[@DippedInInk]

OMG I loved the animation. Rewatched it twice already.

[@dbugatto]

Looks promising indeed.

[@japanbookhunter]

Hopefully it'll make its way to more streaming sites soon!

Has it aired in japan yet? I'm really confused. I thought it was premiering on the 28th at 12:30am. I'm in Australia so 1 hr ahead of Japan and I stayed up waiting to watch it but can't find the first episode anywhere. Is the date actually the 29th? I swear it was the 28th

[@LocalNeer]

As far as I know, it hasn’t aired yet. In about one hours time it will air for the first time on [adult swim].

[@japanbookhunter]

Should be airing in America in about 2 hours or so!

[@Pajiiballeballe69]

Where to watch ??

[@japanbookhunter]

Adult Swim then HBO

[@SerAbiotico]

It seems that horror manga related content is getting the mainstream on the later years, right? Are we too far from anime adaptations for mangas like, the ones of Shintaro Kago?

[@japanbookhunter]

Kago is currently working on a multi-media film project. I saw he had a kickstarter a while back. Chatted with him a bit about it earlier this year. Nice dude!

[@SerAbiotico]

@@japanbookhunter 😲😮 you're with the pros! Recently 'Dementia 21' was finally published in my country (Argentina); looking forward to some other titles of him soon (let's hope) 🙏
