Listen "Uzumaki"
Episode Synopsis
In Uzumaki, we’re dropped into the 5-year adaptation of Junji Ito’s manga, now released as a limited series on Adult Swim. Set in a cursed town where spirals take on horrific, human-bending forms, the story centers on Kirie Goshima, a high school student whose world turns nightmarish as she witnesses the bizarre spiral obsession taking hold of her community. The series pays homage to Ito’s signature style with black-and-white rotoscope animation, maintaining the eerie line work that fans know well. On this episode we discuss how Uzumaki compares to other haunted-town stories and whether the final episodes are worth checking out. Welcome to Today’s Episode!
