Junji Ito fans get ready to eat.
Based on the manga of the same name. Uzumaki, the biggest, most anticipated release of all of Junji Ito’s work will soon be upon us, and thanks to a new trailer, we now know we won’t have to wait long.
Get ready to have your heart and mind broken.
Uzumaki will be a limited anime series, with a planned release of four body horrific episodes.
Considered Ito’s magnum Opus, the story follows a high-school teenager and her boyfriend who become entwined with the citizens of a small, quiet Japanese town oddly enveloped by a supernatural event involving spirals. What follows during this “spiral curse,” as I call it, is a terrible dive into the phenomenon of “spirals” in terrifying extremes. It promises to be the most exciting horror anime in years.
Uzumaki is set to drop on Toonami on September 28, 2024, at 12:30 AM EDT, with a next-day release on the MAX.
