There’s a light at the end of the tunnel for fans of horror mangaka Junji Ito, as Adult Swim dropped an official trailer for the highly anticipated Uzumaki anime adaptation at San Diego Comic-Con. With it, fans finally got a release date for the miniseries.
The trailer showcases a handful of iconic, disturbing, and outright terrifying moments from the critically acclaimed manga, making it clear the series has no plans of shying away from any of the graphic source material, and honors Ito’s craft with the series being fully black-and-white, bringing his original panels to life in a way very few anime have. This trailer and release date announcement comes just shy of five years after the series was first announced in 2019, with the COVID-19 pandemic largely attributing to significant production delays. Still, this new footage tells us that these delays were worthwhile.

The synopsis for the series reads:
“Let’s leave this town together,” asks Shuichi Saito, a former classmate of Kirie Goshima, a high school girl who was born and grew up in Kurouzu-cho. Everything from a strange whirlwind, billowing smoke from the crematorium, and the residents are turning into spirals. People’s eyes spin in whirls, a tongue spirals, and the bodies twist unnaturally. In an attempt to escape the curse of the spirals, Kirie decides to flee from Kuouzu-cho, but can she get away from this turmoil?
Uzumaki stars Abby Trot and Robbie Daymond as protagonists Kirie Goshima and Shuichi Saito, the anime premieres September 28th on Adult Swim’s Toonami block, with a next-day release on Max.
