“I can’t fight it!” Adult Swim has revealed the official trailer for an upcoming anime series titled Uzumaki, based on an acclaimed supernatural horror manga series of the same name. This has been in the works for a while – it was first announced in 2019 at the Crunchyroll Expo, but then took them 5 full years to finish it up and get it ready to premiere. A town full of people slowly go insane over increasing obsessions with spiral shapes: patterns in the clouds, everyday objects, hair, insects, skin, and everywhere. Based on the hit manga written & illustrated by Ito. “As a huge fan of Junji Ito, I’m thrilled to be able to tackle one of his signature works, with a team of amazing creators who are all equally devoted to doing justice to this monumental work of horror manga,” said Jason DeMarco, Adult Swim / Toonami’s creative director. Featuring English-language voices as well: Robbie Daymond, Abby Trott, Cristina Valenzuela, Max Mittelman, Mona Marshall, and Aaron LaPlante. This looks perfectly bonkers and frightening as hell! Damn! Check it out.
Here’s all of the official trailers (+ poster) for Adult Swim’s series Uzumaki, direct from YouTube:
Kirie lives in a town that lately has odd occurrences, and each one somehow is connected to a spiral. Soon the spiral occurrences spread to infect even the bodies of people, which suddenly turns the everyday events in her life into chaos and horror. Uzumaki (うずまき meaning Spiral in Japanese) also known as Uzumaki: Spiral Into Horror is a Japanese supernatural horror anime mini-series, based on the manga series of the same name written and illustrated by Junji Ito. A co-production between Adult Swim and Production I.G. USA. The screenplay is written by Aki Itami, adapted from the manga.

And a score composed by Colin Stetson. It’s produced by Maki Terashima-Furuta. Executive produced by Jason DeMarco.
