Uzumaki Animation Is HORRIBLE

Uzumaki episode 2 animation was horrible, almost like they were trying to ruin the anime. I showed a comparison between episode 1 and 2 and give a uzumaki episode 2 reaction

Honestly I’m not sure what caused this disaster, I’ve never seen such sharp differences between two episodes.

[rattled]

No guys you don’t understand this is brilliant!

They gave ito‘s fans hope for a decently animated series with the first episode just to tear that hope away!

THATS true horror!!

Junji ito is cursed to forever make god tier manga but always have poor anime of his works

Hi, I'm a random user with a curious fact:

Warner Bros Discovery cut the budget for the entire anime after only the first episode was finished, the producers only had three alternatives:

1- Cancel the anime and make it lost media.

2- Only release the first episode and never release the rest.

3- Take out the anime as we just saw it.

Extra fact:
The first episode was the only one that was made by the animation production house that had been established for the anime from the beginning, After WBD's budget cuts, the rest of the episodes were made by another animation studio, this can be seen by watching the end credits of each episode. According to rumors and claims by some users, this animation house is of Chinese origin.

The episode 1 studio was replaced with hentai animators, thats why

All the hype from years went down in drain😭

[thebwoods]

Too many companies have started to care more about quick work than quality work.

[Ultimabuster]

Moral of the story: Never be hyped! Never! ALWAYS be concerned.

[leg]

The animator said MAX wanted to cancel it, but the animators couldn't just drop everything so they did what they could. They know its horrible, but they had basically zero resources for the second ep. Thats sad 😢

This proves delays, lack of transparency over a long development period, and people assuming it all leading to something good is NOT a healthy combination. People just never learn.

[Vanillie]

Dude, forget the animation... The pacing 😭 the pacing is even more dogshit than the animation. The first episode is a bit fast but is still paced in a way that captures the horror. But the second episode.... Way too many things happening at the same time without giving us time to process shits. Im not even scared or terrified by the story, im just laughing at how fast, stupid and nonsensical everything is. And this is coming from someoen who already READ the manga, imagine people watching this without reading the manga before, theyre gonna be like "what the fuck is even going on" 💀😭

Poor Junji Ito, his series are getting the 2016 Berserk's treatment. The Junji Ito's collection was a disaster and now this.

[milady_kazuko]

They did it. They made us, the audience, experience the sheer horror Junji Ito's characters must have feel in their world, though through different tragedies 😢

[myka.r]

This actually make me sad and not laughing, I wated 5 years for just 4 episodes and the adaptation is not what we hyped all this 5 years, I almost cryed ngl, and they knew that it gonna happen and you can tell that by the trailer wich alot of his shots is from ep1

[PlasticRocket]

Waited 4 fucking years just for some swamp doodoo. I cant believe this dawg. Now i look dumb as hell reccomending this to my friends

[Dookieman]

If I wanted to watch something this stiff I’d read the comic. And apparently the 4 year delay may have been cuz they fired the director and team behind Ep1 cuz it took too long and was too expensive and had to get someone else to scramble and finish it

[cringydinosaur]

Almost no one point this out
But look at the stairs in the chase scene
The lines of the bricks traspass the stairs, HOW THEY LEAVE THAT THERE???

[alceedits]

Bro, there's no excuse for this. It was 5/6 years of development for FOUR episodes made by a team of animators. I'm a huge fan of Junji Ito, and this left me a thousand times more disappointed than any Netflix adaptation, because the hype was real

[nicplaybr]

it was only 4 episodes
we were so close to a good junji ito adaptation
what happened?
