    The wait was worth it even if I got impatient and read the manga. It's too bad the episodes are regular length because the series won't be able to adapt the entire manga, it'll be more summarized. Overall though this was flipping awesome to see. I'm afraid of spirals again.

      It will adapt the entire manga. They just adapt 4 chapters for each episode.

      I'm hoping we get an extended cut in the blurays. I noticed a few cuts in some places that looked like a whole scene was missing.

    I don't mind mixing stories,but it felt like it goes too fast.
    The way it starts made me feel like there was an episode i hadn't watched,it didn't let the world breath,introduce the characters or build up any tension.
    Everything else was great,i just wish it was 40minutes or something.

    I think the 4 episodes might be somewhat intentional considering that in Japan the number 4 is seen as unlucky. Much like the number 13 is here in western countries. Just another layer of uncomfortability added to the spiral.
    I love the fast pace of the anime so far, if the whole thing is just 4 episodes then I'll be happy. All together it will be the same length as a theatrical movie, which will make it a great Halloween re-watch. This is gonna be a classic just like the Manga and be remembered by even non-anime fans for years to come. And if the anime watchers feel like they want more, the Manga is right there for them to read. I see it as a win win situation.

    I like first episode. It's a bit rushed due to mixed stories in one episode but it fits. Anime will have just 4 episodes.

  • @nightlydata2181

    As far as I know the anime is confirmed 4 eps which assumin based off the 1st R all typical ep length. As an anime only I enjoyed it a good bit. Some ppl complained some troubles in the pace & I kinda agree so far but it's not horrible or anythin imo. The director has an eye for doin very out there things in his work especially under restrictions. He did the infamous Aku no Hana adaptation which I enjoyed way more than I thought I would so I was excited for this & he seems to employ similar techniques like the high amount of rotoscope for the character actin. I'm likin it so far. This might become the "BEST" FULL horror anime since Higurashi or Shiki. Oh & the 1st good adaption of a junji ito work lol(I've only seen Gyo by Ufo). I'm excited for the rest

      Aku no Hana é odiado pelo motivo que Uzumaki vai ser amado.
      Em Aku ele adaptou de fato o mangá. E isso ainda não liga nas nossas sinapses de anime bom é anime fiel ao mangá.

      they have more frames per second than a regular so that is part of why this takes way more longer to make plus the production staff are relatively small.

    @TheRealBugBrown 2 дні тому

    I know the main complaint people are having is the pacing, but it can't be discounted as a gripe. The whole reason Ito's stories work in Uzumaki is the lead in. There was literally zero character development. Also, the animation seemed kind of janky at times.

    I really enjoyed episode 1. Yeah, the episode was short, but if they keep adapting Ito stories, I'm good: the enigma of amigara fault, gyo, tomie - so many that would fit nicely as an episode or three with this same format.

  • @mmmmmmmm53
    @mmmmmmmm53 3 дні тому

    Great first episode. Yes, the mixing of the stories is a bit jarring, but we have to keep in mind that this episode is supposed to hook the viewer, so it is understandable that they decided to have 2 of the most iconic scenes from the manga. Maybe they could've added some more scenes to make the transition gel better, but I feel it's done agood job. 8/10

    Pra mim tá parecendo uma motion comic com um orçamento maior.
    Pra mim isso não é como Yamishibai que tinha um propósito de parecer e ser uma motion Comic.
    Uzumaki não é uma adaptação que esqueceu o aspecto "adaptar", que você goste ou não os bons animes de verdade, não são um motion comic fiel.

      I don't know if there's an official reason why, but given that this isn't the first adaptation of Junji Ito's work and that most, if not all, of his previous adoptions were criticted for loosing some of the essence of his original Mangas when colorized, having this adaption made in its original black and white colors and tones just fits his vibe at lot better, in my opinion at least
