The primary teaser trailer for the anime adaptation of Junji Ito’s Uzumaki is right here, and it appears prefer it could possibly be among the best variations of his works but.
Of all of Ito’s works, there are two that could possibly be described as essentially the most iconic. One is Tomie, a sequence about an immortal girl who powers those that fall in love together with her. And the opposite, after all, is Uzumaki, a sequence a couple of city that turns into overrun by… er, spirals! It’s scarier than it sounds, I promise. The traditional manga had already obtained a live-action movie adaptation in 2000, in addition to a pair of online game diversifications, nevertheless it had by no means obtained an anime adaptation. Technically, that’s nonetheless the case, because it hasn’t even premiered but, however after years of ready, the primary trailer for the sequence lastly dropped at San Diego Comedian-Con this week, confirming that it’s going to air on Grownup Swim’s Toonami on September 28.
You’ll be able to try the primary trailer for the sequence above, which is usually a compilation of ominous, typically spiral-filled photographs, nevertheless it’s a potent first look. Clearly, you’ll shortly discover that the sequence has opted for a totally black-and-white look — a rarity amongst anime diversifications — however for one thing like Uzumaki, I can’t consider a greater inventive selection. Positive, coloration can add rather a lot to some diversifications, however Ito’s work is especially putting as a result of it’s in black-and-white, and seeing that realized in anime kind makes this a really thrilling sequence, even ignoring how traditional it’s.
The one draw back is that you just will not get to take pleasure in a lot of it, as this can be a miniseries of simply 4 episodes, however there’s nonetheless a whole lot of expertise concerned. Hiroshi Nagahama (Mushi-shi) is the present’s director at Studio Drive and Studio Akatsuki, however there’s additionally one other shocking member on employees: Colin Stetson, composer of Hereditary and The Menu, is composing the present’s soundtrack.
Uzumaki will air weekly on Toonami beginning September 28, however will likely be obtainable to stream on Max the day after every episode airs.
