| Again with this dude that only shows up on rainy days, and ofc, this time around he's got himself a Uzumaki on his back... because ofc he does. Though, he's probably the least of our concerns for now, seeing as the dude only comes on, again, rainy days lmao. Our big concern right now though, HAS to be the fact that Kirie's hair is turning into Uzumaki's as well. Actually, scratch the whole idea of not having to be concerned about the dude that only shows up on rainy days, BECAUSE DUDE TURNED INTO A FUCKING SNAIL??? WHAT LMAOOO. And Kirie's hair ain't looking much better. It just keeps on getting worse with the days. Out of anyone this episode who got it the worst though has to be the dude that only shows up on rainy days. His parents seeing him was just so sad to see. No rest either because dude who won't leave Kirie dies in the MOST STUPIDEST FUCKING WAY EVER, THINKING HE A HERO AND LETTING THE CAR JUST RUN HIS ASS OVER... LIKE LOOK AT THIS BRO  The insanity doesn't even end there, because Kirie and other girl get into a Uzumaki off? WHAT LMAO? She won, for better or for worse, because at least Kirie got rid of her Uzumaki hair thanks to Shuuichi, but other girl... just yikes. Then they try to initiate the escape plan, and in a way, I guess it worked? Man this show is just.. I don't even know. And now instead of Uzumaki's appearing on people, now it's people running in Uzumaki's???? HUH???? Like what the HELL is going on anymore. Then we got the sensei turning into a snail as well...???? Something to do with the lighthouse apparently, hm actually scratch that, it HAS to be something with that lighthouse because that ain't no ordinary lighthouse. As if the stairs up being an Uzumaki itself wasn't bad enough, the lens is also an Uzumaki that is just a ticking time bomb thanks to the sun and all... AND EVERYONE'S DEAD..???? HUH???????? So many questions.. so many just piling on each other. I'm not sure what I'm even watching anymore. Episode looked pretty rough though, I know that much. Wonder who that dude that came out the grave at the end could be though. |

| @IzanaSolos i have to agree, the quality of the animation deffs dropped from the first episode, but the story is still strong and ties in well. |
| Things are really spiraling out of control now. The bully and his victim both turning into snails, mating, and laying eggs together was particularly fucked up... Thankfully the MC survived getting Uzumaki'd into a Medusa and her boyfriend saved her with a pixie cut. |
| Very much enjoying the fact that this adaptation's connecting the different events into one continuous plot by having them happen alongside each other. Really looking forward to next week's episode. |
| Me the 1st ep :) Me the 2nd ep '_' |
| good stuff horror and ofcourse best art style |
 |
| Wow the animation was horrible, the closeup shots looked rough but somewhat decent but everything else was a mess. This after the delay and going no color lol. And here I thought this would be a nice watch after the first episode too. Hope the last two episode will be better. As for the story Kyrie had a rough time with the hair spiraling and the snail shit was gross. Lots of stuff started happening in the second half as well. The town is going nuts. |
 |
| Hmm another creepy episode! Maybe the animation quality fell off a bit. But ohh well. Those snail person looked very gross and creepy. |
| I need somebody who can love me at my worst No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth 'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst If you stay forever, let me hold your hand I can fill those places in your heart no else can Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim |
| Well that was just bizarre. |

| Holy crap, this adaptation is terrible. Guys, do yourself a favor and just read the manga. They miss the mark on Junji's work once again lol |
| They're really speedrunning this manga aren't they ? Also it looks pretty rough. |
| I am a little disappointed. The first episode was much better than the manga - the chronology and depiction of events were way more thought out. I hoped they would trim out the manga fat and remove some of the idiotic/laughable chapters, but instead they crammed as much of them as they could into a single episode. The snail-guy storyline also felt rushed - in one scene he is on the building and in another he is already in the cage, in manga his transformation into a snail was longer and more fleshed out. Well, at least the MC girl doesn't have amnesia at the start of each chapter like in manga, because side stories are more intertwined into the main story. Also... the hairy fight lasted several minutes and in that time the snails had enough time to escape and go together into the woods/mountains to lay eggs? Those are some very fast snails! |

| @IzanaSolos even for someone already read the manga this anime is devastating they mixed everything and now nothing seems so special and tense as manga, they have taken the soul of story away by mixing all stories together and creating this mess in 4 ep, they will explain nothing about anything and i am sure this anime will end without pleasing anyone |
| Heh. What a twist. |
| this so ass, wtf i cant stop laughing, is this a comedy anime!. |
| The art style is very interesting, but the story is so ridiculously rushed it just keeps jumping from one plot point to another in a matter of seconds. It should've been 7-8 episodes instead of 4. Or they should've pulled a PLUTO and made each episode 45 minutes/1 hour long. But oh well... |
FlomikOct 6, 1:51 AM
| wtf? what were the delays for? 5-7 years in the makings mind you… now not only the pacing is awful, but also the animation… at least episode 1 looked gorgeous. we will never get a good Junji Ito anime adaptation I guess. I mean, I’m taking this Uzumaki adaptation over the other ones of course, but damn it… this looked rough |
| lmao the quality is so bad. this is basically a slide show manga with voice acting. |
Cross  AngeHey guys check my profile for current airing season anime recommendation (guaranteed best taste) |
| The snails were fucking disgusting. The most disturbing part of the episode so far. And the bully and the bullied mated and laid eggs. Yuck. Kirie with curly hair looked cute. Or at least she would've if this anime wasn't about terrifying spirals. Man, these townsfolk are freaking stupid to not leave town after witnessing all that shit. If I was Shuichi I would've fled with Kirie after episode 1. Everyone else be damned. I enjoyed seeing one of those kids getting burnt to a crisp. That's what you get for being a dumbass. Man, the animation in this episode looked rough. What were all those running animations? I thought everything was supposed to be rotoscoped? Some shots still looked good but it's mainly the in-between scenes that took a hit. They took so long to make this I was expecting every frame to look perfect. Oh well. And I agree with the pacing being shit. It should've been at least 6 episodes long. I fucking hate fast pacing that doesn't let any scenes breathe. |

| @deg Lmao that makes sense. I did notice how the animation didn't look as fluid as a rotoscoped animation should so that explains it. But the animation in episode 1 still looked good. |

| @0451 ye episode 1 uses traditional rotoscoping aka the animators trace live action humans but episode 2 welp they trace some noob made 3d animations |
| In the first they were driving a Train, now they are driving a bullet train....lmao, At this point its just jumping frame to frame now, nothing else...and definitely only thing was pulling this awful adaptation off was Animation and art...Even that has downgraded now |
| Another great episode! The transformation of the young boy into a snail was creepy! The spiral-shaped growth of the scalp that takes on a life of its own was heartbreaking! The lovers coiled up like mating snakes was cute as well as horrifying! The lighthouse burning the boy, insane! kekeke |
| Damn that animation def took a downwards spiral. We might be cooked.. hopefully this was just an off episode, but given all the time it took to make this show there really shouldn’t be moments like that running scene.. I’ll think on the bright side |
 |
| the art and soundtrack are pretty good but the animation has really taken a hit and the pacing was way too fast |

| @deg I think episode 1 also was the same with 2D traced over 3D done with roto, but the first episode had Nagahama involved heavily unlike this one where he is just listed for SB. |

| @Etherius_ZS welp if that is true its another case of first episode of any anime being high quality as usual |

| @deg He was AD on the first episode too |
| I can't stop laughing while watching this anime, bruh. |
| oof... this is such a rough ep if we need to talk about the animation |
| What the fuck happened ? This looked so cheap |
