Uzumaki is now scheduled to release in October 2022. While some fans might not be happy about that, but it shows that detail of complicated manga has been progressing and seems looking very good which is enough visual to keep them excited for the new release.

Because of this, the show needed to be delayed but is making progress towards being completed. Nagahama admitted that the show was forced to reconstruct their initial plan, and need to hire even more animators. According to Nagahama, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a tremendous impact on the world of Japanese anime, especially when it comes to Uzumaki. In this Trailer, director Hiroshi Nagahama and Adult Swim Executive Producer Jason DeMarco shared the news that Uzumaki was forced to be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic which brought them to change the animation productions. The anime will be produced entirely in Black and White. and Adult Swim, and is scheduled to premiere in October 2022 in the United States on Adult Swim’s Toonami programming block before Japan. Which is an anime television series adaptation by Production I.G U.S.A. Adult Swim‘s mini-series Uzumaki, based on the supernatural horror manga by legendary author Junji Ito, was announced way back in 2019, and director Hiroshi Nagahama provides an update.

No release date has been set for Uzumaki, but expect it to hit Adult Swim sometime in 2020.The first official trailer of Uzumaki, a Japanese horror Manga series written and illustrated by Junji Ito has released. Uzumaki, a four episode mini-series based on the supernatural horror manga by legendary author Junji Ito, will premiere on Toonami in 2020! Spiral into the dark! Toonami is proud to announce the newest anime series created in partnership with Production IG USA. Did I also mention that the show seems to be sticking true to Ito’s original artwork? If the music from the trailer is any hint, we should get an idea of how unsettling this Uzumaki adaptation is going to turn out. What’s also cool is the music for the series will be provided by composer Colin Stetson, who did some fantastic work with the horror film Hereditary. Some have even calling author Junji Ito a modern day H.P. Though the premise can sound a bit plain, Uzumaki can get absurdly horrific, with stories involving body horror and terrible tragedies. If you don’t know about Uzumaki, the comic is basically an anthology series about a town being plagued by a curse that is somehow connected to spiral patterns. After the manga ended in 1999 with a movie adaptation in 2000, Adult Swim is coming up with an anime miniseries that looks to be more faithful to the source material. There’s a lot of horror manga to check out from Parasyte to I Am Hero, but one series remains to be a must-read classic and that’s Junji Ito’s Uzumaki (or Spiral in English).
