Nuked Hello, my tech-savvy friends! It’s your favorite funny guy, Nuked, ready to dive into some spine-chilling news. Let’s talk about a little something that’s sure to send shivers down your spine!
Get ready for some goosebumps because Junji Ito’s iconic horror tale, Uzumaki, is finally making its way to Adult Swim! Mark your calendars for September 28th, when this highly anticipated adaptation premieres, complete with a suitably eerie trailer to set the mood.
For those unfamiliar with the story, Uzumaki revolves around a town cursed by spirals. And trust me, it’s way creepier than it sounds! The plot follows Shuichi Saito and his high school classmate Kirie Goshima as they navigate the horrors plaguing Kurouzu-cho. Whirlwinds, billowing smoke, and residents transforming in bizarre ways are just the beginning!
Kirie finds herself in a twisted nightmare where everything—from people’s eyes to their very bodies—is caught in a spiral of madness. As she seeks to escape this chilling fate, the question remains: can she really break free from the chaos that surrounds her?
This adaptation is based on one of Ito’s most famous and unsettling works. The new trailer indicates that the series has done an impressive job capturing the intricate black-and-white style that fans adore. Translating Ito’s unique art to animation has proven challenging in the past, as seen in Netflix’s anthology last year. It gives us an idea of why this project has been in development since its announcement back in 2019!
And if you’re itching for a sneak peek, check out the first clip released earlier this year! Trust me; it’s worth a watch—just maybe not right before bed!
So gear up for some spiraling chills this September!
