I think it will be a failure, sadly. They will skip manga chapters, overall I suppose it will be a bad adaptation. Better that Uzumaki will be in Maniac series. That way it can be adapted decently.
Great! And the stories for the adaptations are good too!

Why do you think so? Previous Ito-san adaptation was good, I like it.

I lot of people didn't unfortunately, and from what I've seen there are several glaring production errors that don't do the original manga justice, I will still try to hold out hope but my expectations are low right now
