Adult Swim and Hiroshi Nagahama Shares Clip For The Horror Anime UZUMAKI

Adult Swim is working with director Hiroshi Nagahama to bring to life an anime adaptation of Junji Ito’s classic horror manga Uzumaki. The anime adaptation will be a 4-episode miniseries meant to capture Ito’s distinct art style in black and white.

In the story, “Kurouzu-cho, a small fogbound town on the coast of Japan, is cursed. According to Shuichi Saito, the withdrawn boyfriend of teenager Kirie Goshima, their town is haunted not by a person or being but by a pattern: uzumaki, the spiral — the hypnotic secret shape of the world.”

Thanks to production delays and then the COVID-19 pandemic, the anime of Uzumaki has been delayed to October 2022. The team has been working hard though and Nagahama and Adult Swim have released a video with apologies and the first 35 seconds of the anime. It looks really cool!

Are you excited for this anime miniseries?
