Prepare yourself before you watch the horror master's most terrifying tale.
Adult Swim has started showing the anime series Uzumaki: Spiral Into Horror. The first episode was released on September 29th. The studio Production I.G. is responsible for the adaptation. The anime will consist of four episodes and new episodes will be released every week on weekends.
What Is Uzumaki About?
Uzumaki is an adaptation of the 1998 horror manga of the same name by Junji Ito. The anime tells the story of a small town under a curse.
The inhabitants are unaware of the strange things that are happening, until they realize that they are being possessed by a spiral. At first it only appeared in natural places, but then it began to capture people and plunge the town into madness.
Another Junji Ito Project Was Released on Netflix Last Year
However, if you want to get to know the Japanese master of horror better before diving into his scariest story, then Junji Ito Maniac: Japanese Tales of the Macabre is the perfect choice.
In 2023, this horror anime anthology based on the works of Junji Ito was released on Netflix. The project consists of 12 episodes telling 20 scary stories.
The famous mangaka is known for his short stories in characteristic black and white colors. The adaptation is in color, so it has preserved the plots of Ito's works, but not his style.
All the episodes were filmed by director Shinobu Tagashira, who had already filmed several episodes for the series Junji Ito Collection six years ago.
Junji Ito Maniac Is a Perfect Choice for Horror Anime Fans
In fact, there are not that many horror anime, and even fewer anthologies. And while not every episode of Junji Ito Maniac can be called a masterpiece, and in general it is a rather uneven project with recurring motifs (ghosts, demons and secrets of the past), the series is still worth watching for both anime and horror fans.
The adaptation is far from Junji Ito's manga, but it allows you to get acquainted with the amazing world of the author. The plots of the project are often unpredictable and cruel, although they develop in circumstances that seem familiar to us.
There are no fantasy worlds here – it's just that irrational otherworldly forces invade our reality. Most of the time it turns out to be spectacular, and it is easy to try out frightening circumstances for yourself.
