I think Junji Ito might be cursed. Or at least, maybe his work is, because when it comes to animated adaptations of any of his manga, they just never seem to come out right. 2018 saw the release of the Junji Ito Collection, which was made up of a range of his stories, more anthological in nature, and it just didn’t have the sauce, that feeling of being unable to sleep because of one page that haunts your mind’s eye. So of course, when Uzumaki was announced to be in the works as an anime, hopes for a good adaptation were high considering it’s easily one of his most famous pieces.
