Summary As excited as I am for the upcoming Uzumaki anime, the low overall episode count has me a little worried. Five years following its announcement, the long-awaited adaptation of Junji Ito's most beloved horror stories is finally almost here. Plus, with a brand-new trailer and release date set, it looks like it will be a gorgeous recreation of the story. However, the one thing that fans should worry about is the number of episodes the series will get after such a long wait.
Uzumaki's Short Four Episode Run Is at Risk of Pacing Problems Junji Ito's Masterpiece Benefits From a Slow Burn Approach Close Perhaps the greatest problem Uzumaki faces with very few episodes is how its pacing will be affected compared to the original manga. The complete graphic novel is compiled into a collection that exceeds 600 pages with each chapter depicting various happenings in the town of Kurouzu-Cho.
For example, Uzumaki's most well-known story, "The Scar," takes its time establishing Azami as a mysterious girl that inexplicably draws boys to her. While it's hinted that her beauty is the key, Ito actually establishes that a scar in the middle of her forehead is the real cause for the unwavering attraction. Then, as the scar grows into a spiral, she literally begins to pull people in like a black hole. The reveal of the massive spiral on her head is iconic.
Uzumaki has faced several delays since it was first announced, with the artists behind the project stating they wanted to ensure the anime is as faithful as possible to the manga. This means that the creators of the anime are putting a lot of passion behind the series, wanting to make sure that what made the manga so scary is properly translated into anime. Some chapters are bound to be cut out, but as long as the feeling from the manga remains, it will be a success.
