Junji Ito's 'Uzumaki' Anime Debuts on Adult Swim
The long-awaited adaptation of the horror manga is now airing, with episodes available on Adult Swim and Max.
- The four-episode series premiered on Adult Swim's Toonami block on September 28, 2024, with new episodes airing weekly.
- Episodes are available for streaming on Max the day after their initial broadcast on Adult Swim.
- The series faced significant delays due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which halted production for nearly a year.
- The adaptation is noted for its faithful recreation of Ito's detailed art style, using a combination of hand-drawn animation, CGI, and motion capture.
- The show is presented in black and white, a decision that adds to its unsettling atmosphere and was inspired by musician Flying Lotus.
