    Now we understand why most of the visual marketing revolved around scenes from episode 1. It doesn't even make me angry, it just makes me sad. Sad for us the audience, sad for junji ito and sad for the animation team that was forced to deliver this. You promised us what you showed us on episode 1 and then gave us whatever this is. This show has been a scam, plain and simple. The "willy's chocolate experience" of anime, if you will. Whoever made the decision to turn such a promising and creative adaptation into this, I hope they never let you near an animation project ever again. Jesus Christ.

    Okay I just need to know why is it that every single time junji Ito wants to actually make a cool show about one of his insane stories like this one somehow someway a person messes the show up. He deserves so much better for his insane stories.
    Also shuichi has the strength of 50 men

      You are not a great Junji Ito reader if you find yourself doubting the "realism" of Shuichi grabbing two people. Junji has a very comedic and openly anti-realist feel to most of his stories. Hellstar Remina has nuts scenes without any reason or physics to it, and that is why it is so fun.

      I think it would’ve been 9 because the last chapter was only 23 pages and was very short. Unless if you could add the lost chapter Galaxies in the adaptation, but if it was cut before then it probably had a reason for getting cut. Either way, this adaptation could have been done so much better if it was more than 4 episodes and was consistent in animation.

    Episode 1 was one of the most incredible anime adaptations I have ever seen. Quite literally a 9 to a 10/10.
    Episode 2 was so atrocious and laughably bad, it didn't even meet the minimum requirements for an anime episode to look "decent". I've literally seen fan projects with way better animation. 2.9/10
    Episode 3 was a slight improvement over episode 2, but the pacing of the source material was the worst from all the other episodes. It had decent moments. 3.5/10
    Episode 4, while not as spectacular as episode 1, was clearly made by the same animators as ep1, with the exception of a few 1-2-second clips that looked stiff and ugly, and because of that, it was fantastic. They nailed the ending 9/10.

So yeah, most of ep4 looked really great in my opinion, but episode 1 was ALL rotoscoped eye candy, and absolutely flawless.

    As Chie walks on the road with Mitsuo in her arms asleep she hears a boat horn at the shoreline and starts to run to it and as she gets to the beach she sees a navy patrol boat going by looking for survivors from the town, she puts down Mitsuo and starts shouting too it hoping they will see them, the captain of the boat looks thru his binoculars and sees her calling out to them and orders the boat to stop and pick them up.
    Chie tries to catch her breath to tell the captain of what happened to the town’s people and that no more rescue attempts be made looking in an empty town and as the boat drives closer to the town Chie screams at the captain to not go near it or they’ll all die then a whirlpool starts to form in front of the boat then the captain forces a hard left turn from the town away from it and saves everyone aboard.
    Relieved to survive it the captain orders the rescue boat to drive to the next port away from the town and as they pass the dark lighthouse, Mitsuo starts to wake up without everyone noticing and as he looks around he’s confused of where he is and who he is, then he looks up at the lighthouse and sees a pretty girl with wavy curly hair standing on the railing of the tower.
    Mitsuo is confused because he recognizes her face but can’t remember a name, so he stares at her till the rescue boat starts to go farther away from the town.
    On the lighthouse stands Kirie watching her little brother get away from the reach of the spiral's cruse, so she blows a kiss goodbye to him knowing he’ll be alive and safe far away and as the sun starts to go down, she says goodbye without saying a word before the cursed lighthouse turns on and in a flash of light in the darkness she disappears.
    As the bright light from the lighthouse spins around flashing the light on then off the spiral cursed town the view begins to enclose on the center of the tomb to the spiral pod in the darkness where all the town’s people’s faces lay quietly in the dark of the underground tomb and within the pod of the spiral Kirie lays in front of the spiraling light.
    Naked and floating in its center Kirie sleeps soundly with tears dripping out of her eyes as she smiles with her curly hair flying around her face, the spiral calls out to her in a smoothing calm voice.
    SPIRAL: KIRIE
    KIRIE: YES
    SPIRAL: ARE YOU PLEASED
    KIRIE: YES, THANK YOU, THANK YOU VERY MUCH FROM MY HEART
    SPIRAL: KIRIE PLEASE, SING ME A SONG, SING SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL
    KIRIE: I KNOW JUST WHAT TO SING
    Kirie closes her eyes and sings
    KIRIE:
    DOUJOU-JI DOUJOU-JI
    ALL DRIED UP
    DOUJOU-JI DOUJOU-JI
    A SPIRAL SWIRLS ABOVE
    A SPIRAL SWIRLS BELOW
    BEANEATH THE POND OF THE DRAGONFLY
    GO DOWN THE STAIRS AND COMPLETE THE CYCLE
    ALL DRIED UP
    DOUJOU-JI DOUJOU-JI
    SPIRAL: BEAUTIFUL YOUR SO BEAUTIFUL
    The spirit of the spiral creates brighter spirals around Kirie’s body as she sleeps then turns them into spinning flowers.
    As Kirie starts to dream she can smell something sweet as she thinks she is laying in a flower field with the sun in her face and makes heavenly smile
    SPIRAL: SLEEP MY BEAUTIFUL KIRIE
    The view starts to move away as Kirie's song echoes within it from Kirie’s floating body to the dark tomb outside the pod to the dark underground stairway going up to outside the spiral made town as the view rises upwards into the heavens where you can only see a piece of land in Japan shaped like a spiral.
    The spiral shaped town slowly fades away into a spiral shaped flower from the mountain side and there sitting next to it is Kirie’s spirt
    Kirie's spirit after many years within the spiral watches over her peaceful hometown and wonders like a ghost as she nears the end of telling the story of her fate and the fate of the town.
    She sits watching on the hillside with her curly long hair dancing in the windy breeze remembering everyone in her past life until the embodiment of the spirals curse as a person with a familiar face starts walking into town.
    Kirie looks at her face and is shocked when the curse looks back at her with a spiral in her face smiles and Kirie knows that the horror will start all over again for the next generation of this town.
    As the spirit walks away from her Kirie watches as her hair starts dancing up and down like it has a reaction of its own of what's to come then the screen closes to her face as she looks at you (the viewer) and she speaks
    (KIRIE)- NOW YOU KNOW MY STORY AND THE TRUTH OF OUR FATE, SO COME JOIN US IN THE UZUMAKI
    She looks at you with a sad smile and look as her spiraling hair slowly covers the screen, her left eye becoming the center of the spiral as it takes over the screen making you see nothing but the spiral as you go mad (crazy)

  • @marknakashima4651
    @marknakashima4651 18 днів тому

    I’ve decided to go ahead and write out the rewrite of Kirie’s fate within the curse of the spiral
    Whether you like it or not I DON’T CARE
    It’s something I need to express and share since I’ll be adding Uzumaki in my horror collection
    All the events leading to the near end within the underground tomb of the spiral stay the same till the point of Kirie and Shuichi going down the underground stairs then falling into the tomb What I would change is at this point:
    After Kirie lightly falls into the tomb and seeing all the town's residents plus her parent's stone-dead twisted faces she hears Shuichi’s voice cry out for help. As she approaches him, he is in pain and broken from the long deep fall, trying to speak his last dying words for Kirie to escape with her life Kirie begs him not to die without her knowing she’ll be all alone, but Shuichi’s tired eyes give in to death then his body starts to twist around then harden along with the others in the ground of the tomb.
    Kirie watches as she cries out in a painful scream that echoes within the tomb seeing only spirals and dead faces around her, she cries out:
    KIRIE: WHY, WHY, WHY WON’T YOU TAKE ME, JUST KILL ME NOW, WHY MUST I WATCH ALL THIS AND STILL BE ALIVE, WHY WON’T YOU KILL ME NOW
    Kirie drops to her knees crying in front of the tombs center till she hears a dark voice echo within the tomb saying her name
    SPIRAL: KIRIE, KIRIE, KIRIE
    Kirie looks around to see where its coming from as she looks up at the largest spiral pod within the tomb and could hear the voice coming from it, she look’s at it unable to blink and say a word till the spiral extends out a long tentacle then shapes it in a spiral like the palm of a hand in front of Kirie.
    Kirie realizing she has no other choice crawls on her knees into its center, the spiral raises with her in hand in front of the pod and says:
    SPIRAL: KIRIE
    Expecting the pod to open and consume her like the mouth of a monster Kirie close’s her eyes ready for the worst to happen she prepares to embrace death till she hears a light humming then she slowly opens her eyes to see what it is then she is surprised to see a bright spiral as bright as the sun spinning inside the pod.
    KIRIE: WHO ARE YOU
    SPIRAL: KIRIE WHY DID YOU REJECT MY GIFT
    KIRIE: WHAT GIFT?
    SPIRAL: WHAT I DID FOR YOUR HAIR
    KIRIE: YOU DID THAT
    SPIRAL: I MADE YOU THE FAIREST WOMAN IN MY LAND AND YOU TRIED TO CUT OFF YOUR BEAUTIFUL HAIR, I GAVE YOU OUT OF LOVE AND YOU REJECTED ME
    The spiral growing angry at her Kirie starts to shake realizing that everything was her fault for what happened to the town and her loved ones she pleads forgiveness to the spiral.
    KIRIE: I’M SORRY, I’M SO SORRY
    She then looks down and around at all the dead faces of the town folk and starts to cry feeling guilty for what she did and as her tears run down her face the tear drops are sucked in by the spiral.
    KIRIE: PLEASE FORGIVE ME, PLEASE I BEG OF YOU
    SPIRAL: KIRIE I AM OPEN TO FORGIVE YOU AND ONLY YOU, I CANNOT ALLOW YOU TO LEAVE FOR YOUR FATE HAS BEEN CHOSEN TO STAY HERE WITH ME
    Kirie hangs her head down realizing she has no choice but to accept
    KIRIE: VERY WELL, I WILL STAY HERE WITH YOU FOR ETERNITY BUT PLEASE GRANT ME A REQUEST
    SPIRAL: WHAT DO YOU WISH
    KIRIE: MY LITTLE BROTHER MITSUO, HE WAS TURNED INTO A SNAIL AND IS STILL ALIVE OUTSIDE, PLEASE CHANGE HIM BACK AND LET HIM LEAVE ALIVE AND HUMAN, NEVER TO RETURN HERE AGAIN
    The spiral pauses to grant her request
    KIRIE: GRANT MY REQUEST AND I WILL SERVE AND OBEY YOU FOR ETERNITY
    SPIRAL: MORE THEN THAT YOU WILL SHARE YOUR LOVE TO ME AND NEVER STOP SMILING FOR ME
    KIRIE: VERY WELL
    Kirie accepts the deal with a full heart and as she closes her eyes with a smile her hair starts to grow then spiraled in curls. Kirie sees her hair start to dance up and down and rubs a spiral of her hair on her face like it’s the softest beautiful feeling she ever felt and laughs a happy laugh.
    SPIRAL: BEAUTIFUL YOUR SO BEAUTIFUL KIRIE
    Kirie looks at the spiral with a happy smile
    SPIRAL: COME
    Kirie crawls inside the pod gazing at its bright light as the pod slowly closes behind her
    The tomb starts to shake as the stairway starts to twist around, closing the entrance forever and in a flashing rush through the town entrance tunnel Chie the reporter flies out of the dark tunnel.
    As she awakens her head starts pounding like a hangover and looks around confused until she starts to remember everything that happened, when Chie turns around looking into the tunnel Kirie is there standing in the dark entrance smiling.
    CHIE: KIRIE WHAT HAPPENED?
    KIRIE: THE CURSE IS OVER FOR NOW AND THE SPIRALS SPIRIT IS SATISFIED
    CHIE: COME WITH ME AND WE’LL TELL THE WORLD WHAT HAPPENED
    Chie tries to grab Kirie’s hand but can’t because she’s talking to Kirie’s spirit, she is shocked realizing she’s dead and almost starts to cry but Kirie stops her and says:
    KIRIE: I’M SORRY BUT I CAN NEVER LEAVE
    All of the sudden something large falls from the mountain side of the tunnel and lands next to them, it’s a human snail shell and as it starts to crack like an egg Chie is frightened of what she’ll see until it breaks apart and shows a naked boy from inside.
    The boy is Kirie’s younger brother Mitsuo turned back and unconscious, Chie wraps him in blanket and picks him up then she looks at Kirie in the tunnel, with happy tears in her eyes she asks Chie to get her little brother far away from their cursed hometown and never to return
    KIRIE: YOU MUST TELL ANYONE IN TOKYO THAT NO ONE CAN EVER ENTER THIS TOWN FOR AT LEAST ONE YEAR OR THEY WILL BE LOST WITHIN THE SPIRAL’S CRUSE
    CHIE: I WILL AND I’LL TAKE GOOD CARE OF HIM LIKE MY OWN SON
    KIRIE: PLEASE CHIE DON’T EVER TELL HIM OF THIS PLACE AND NEVER LET HIM OR HIS FAMILY COME HERE, IF YOU CAN KEEP THAT PROMISE TO ME, I WILL NEVER BE SAD
    Chie nods her head swearing to keep her word and as she starts to walk away, she tries to thank Kirie one last time, but she disappears into the tunnel's darkness.

    I don't exactly hate how the animation got worse. My biggest issue with everything after EP 1 was the pacing of everything. I can overlook shotty animation as long as the story is good. There are to many moments in this where the scene just cuts to something else right when the emotional payoff of is about to cash in and that throws me off. Also when the whole thing was done, i just asked myself, "That's it? That was all they had to offer?"

    heyyy, I haven't finished ep 3 but... after the horrors of episode 2, this kinda doesn't look *that* bad. (let me have some hope for a momento please, even if I come back dissapointed...)
