A new trailer for Uzumaki has just been released, and fans are thrilled with its impressive and eerie visuals.
As Halloween approaches, there’s a growing desire for something spine-chilling, and Junji Ito’s Uzumaki stands out as the ideal anime to fulfill that craving. After a lengthy production period, this highly anticipated anime is set to debut in September.
Based on Ito’s renowned 1998 manga, Uzumaki tells a psychological horror story centered around a seemingly normal small town that becomes consumed by strange spiral shapes. The narrative follows teenager Kirie Goshima and her boyfriend Shuuichi Sato as they experience their town’s terrifying descent into chaos.
Uzumaki is celebrated as one of Ito’s most outstanding and unsettling works, which explains the heightened excitement surrounding its anime adaptation. However, fans have eagerly awaited the chance to see this iconic manga animated.

The wait is almost over; Uzumaki is set to launch on Adult Swim on September 28, 2024, as part of the Fall 2024 anime lineup. So far, the show has unveiled three trailers, each more terrifying than the last, with the final trailer scheduled for release on September 5.
Viewers are captivated by the unsettling nature of the trailer and are confident that Production I.G.’s adaptation of Uzumaki will do justice to Ito’s original work. While adaptations of the mangaka’s previous works haven’t always resonated with fans, Uzumaki may have the potential to change that.

“Can’t wait for this! Uzumaki is going to be amazing. The animation looks incredible, and the story is so captivating. September 28 can’t come soon enough!” commented a fan.
“I can’t describe the goosebumps and disgust I felt watching something as mundane as a snail behave unusually; I can’t wait,” shared another viewer.
“Yeeee baby, the creepy part with babies in the maternity ward will be animated!” exclaimed a user.
