Uzumaki disappoints with poor animation in the final episode

This fall, anime fans eagerly awaited the return of horror master Junji Ito to television with an adaptation of his masterpiece, Uzumaki . The anime, produced by Adult Swim and Production I.G. , promised to bring to life all the unique horror of Ito's works.

However, after months of production and an acclaimed premiere, the anime faced harsh criticism. Now, with the final episode available, it's clear that Uzumaki failed to live up to the initial promise.

The final episode shocked fans with its fast pace and amateurish animation, with scenes that looked like they were created in PowerPoint. While the first episode was well-received, the animation flaws became apparent from the second onward and continued until the series' disappointing finale.

The Rise and Fall of the Uzumaki Anime

The initial success of Uzumaki left Junji Ito fans hopeful that this would be the definitive adaptation of the horror master. Known for his chilling stories and unsettling art, Ito is often compared to Stephen King. However, the production faced several challenges. According to Adult Swim executive Jason DeMarco, the COVID-19 pandemic severely impacted the schedule, and the industry's talent shortage only worsened the situation.

With a tight budget and limited time, the team had to choose between abandoning the project or delivering the four episodes as best they could. Unfortunately, the decision to continue production resulted in a series that didn't live up to the grandeur of the original.

Ultimately, Junji Ito fans can only hope for a new adaptation worthy of his talent.
