Awesome reaction!! The way they animated this was actually with 'rotoscoping' !! Which really helped as Junji Ito's style is very, very complex in detail!! They wanted to be as faithful to Junji Ito's work as possible, and thankfully they succeeded! The production of Uzumaki actually increased a few years (it's first trailer dropped back in 2019!!) because of how long the animation was taking, but the results speak for themselves
watch the dub, somehow it makes the pace perfect and the creepy factor 10x better! I watched sub, its not bad but after watching some reactors using the dub I realized dub in this anime is better.
i love the animation, its like the pages of the manga came to life
The pacing is weird but it is what it is
My favorite is that there's no jumpscare noises on scares
@@confidential9692The pacing as almost the same as the manga, it is this way to make you feel confused, or I could say "make you SPIRAL"
Agree it looks like a mixture of 2D animation, and cgi
Its almost as if thats the literal definition of what an anime is! 😂
they fking did ito junji justice im so glad

For a manga with only 20 chapters, Junji Ito made this masterpiece and it is easily one of the, if not his best works🙏🏾
I won't tell you which of your guesses are right or nearly right, but you are going to _love_ where this goes from here.
Who coulda thunk that making ito junji anime in grayscale can elevate the scare factor so much
The first episode was really good, hope to see ur reactions to the other eps too and yes Uzumaki means spiral
Unrelated, but the zoomed-in part for the video at 6:37 made her look like she has a goofy face
Where did y'all watch this
The score in this film was made by the same composer who composed the "Hereditary" soundtrack. This collaboration is perfect.
I absolutely love how uncanny this anime is
It reminds me of one of my favorite authors. It’s like H. P. Lovecraft was reincarnated in Japan. ❤ it!
Junji Ito is a fan of his work.
Will you be doing Dandadan???
Yes! We’re very excited for that show!
@@SquareBoxPuzzle Yayy! I'm excited

On this particular show the dub is actually better
