Adult Swim began streaming a new teaser video for the anime of Junji Ito's Uzumaki horror manga on Tuesday. The video reveals the anime's delay to October 2022. The anime's director Hiroshi Nagahama (Mushishi, Flowers of Evil) explains the circumstances behind the anime's delay, and previews a clip from the opening scene of the anime's first episode.
The Twitter account for the anime of Junji Ito's Uzumaki horror manga announced on Monday that the series has been delayed again because the staff needs more time "in order to replicate the quality of the intricate designs and detailed line work" of the manga. The staff added that it does not want to compromise the show's quality and deliver a "mediocre final product."
