| I've been iffy on Ito adaptations after the poor reception of Junji Ito Collection. Judging from the trailer and director behind this though, it looks promising. It's cool that they got Hereditary's composer to do the music. |

| Fuck yeah holy shit I just read the manga a few weeks ago cant wait to see it animated |
"The four-episode mini anime series will debut on Adult Swim's Toonami programming block in 2020, ahead of the Japanese premiere." Interesting... Do people even watch anime on Toonami? Also the teaser makes it seem like a manga motion picture (where they just pull the manga pages and move them around the screen). If so then... Great manga though, also my first Junji like many said above... |
| Yoo I saw the title and thought Prod IG has to be animating this or else it's just gonna be another failure like all of his other works adapted to anime.. hell to the yes and the trailer looks good! I haven't read the series yet but I've heard a lot about it. About time we get another horror anime. Hopefully this one is actually scary rather than just being abstract and weird. |

Skittles said: I remember completing this long ago. One of the wackiest manga I've ever read, but the second half was a borderline unintentional comedy with the exaggerated supernatural elements. Hope the adaptation can do it justice! I don't think it was unintentional. Junji Ito's manga have always been partly comedic. It's just a weird kind of humor. He wanted to become a comedy mangaka after all. Uzumaki was legit funny. |
Nutella71 said: Greyleaf said: I went to watch Hereditary with my friend (who is a big horror fan,unlike me) and...I dunno the music was definitely disturbing and fitting,but the movie itself wasn't scary to me,just awkward,even funny at some bits. Maybe because I watched like only 3 horror movies in my life so I don't know what is scary and what's not? But I have hopes for Uzumaki to be at least decent,unlike the former adaptation. I really hate to get my hopes up over and Itou adaptation, because up until this point they've all been complete and utter shit. Junji Itou's stories are the kind that play directly on the strengths of his medium, and that's unfortunately never translated well into anime. But with that said... ... I can't help but be a little excited about this. Uzumaki is actually the first manga I ever read, and it remains—by leaps and bounds—my favorite of Itou's catalogue. Are they actually sticking with 100% black and white aesthetics? Because that might just be what this series needs to truly fulfill the atmosphere of the story. And lastly: COLIN STETSON SOUNDTRACK?! Holy shit, dude. His work in Hereditary was unbelievable, and for anyone unfamiliar, it's genuinely one of the most frightening horror flicks of the 21st century. Anyway, yeah.. let's hope this one finally hits the mark and makes Itou proud. That's fair, haha. What's scary to one person won't even phase another. Idk, I've seen like 200+ horror movies and I thought it was one of the most frightening films ever (and most horror flicks don't even phase me), but to each their own! xD |

| Uzumaki was my first manga and it means a lot to me personally. From the trailer it looks like this anime is identical as the manga art, its like the manga came alive. |
 |
| It looks pretty good! Is it finally time for a good adaptation? I'm looking forward to this. |
 |
| I wonder how hard they gonna fuck this up. |
| I want to be optimistic about it but it's one of those manga that I can't imagine them animated.. Let's hope that this time they will do Ito's work justice. Uzumaki is a masterpiece, hopefully this time they won't do such a degrading adaptation as they did last time with his 'Itou Junji: Collection' |
| I want to have high expectations. But it's better to have no expectations so you will never be disappointed. It looks interesting however. |

DarthSomebody said: Hes actually said outright he views almost all of his works as being comedies. It's pretty clear he's an author that is having fun with his works and there are a few that outright just turn into jokes, one of the best was this one, (i'm not spoiling the best page)Skittles said: I remember completing this long ago.

I mean we are also talking about the guy who made an entire manga about him and his wife adopting a cat, but its drawn completely in the same style as all of his other manga and has a bunch of horrific imagery for mundane slice of life stuff. |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| Didn't really pay that much attention to it at first, but after watching the trailer more: god damn is that music good! It's even more impressive considering it's mostly just Colin Stetson with a saxophone somehow making all of those noises. Dude's a genius. |
 |
| Watched the live action movie when it came out and that was weird as hell (I really enjoyed it although I have no idea how close it followed the manga). This adaption looks great so far. |
| As a huge fan of the manga i can't wait. But at the same time, i'm a little worried since what happened with tomie & gyo...hopefully theyll get it right |
