| So I think everyone reading this is well aware of how Uzumaki episode 2 turned out. What I don't think most are aware of is that Jason DeMarco put out an official statement on Bluesky. It was quickly taken down but I've seen another completely different screenshot on Reddit so I don't think this is fake. He says that people have a right to be annoyed and disappointed, but what happened was that "one or two people screwed them over" (likely investors, we'll probably never find out who) and they were given three choices for how to proceed: Option A: Cancel all of it. Option B: Finish episode one, release it, cancel the rest. Option C: Finish episode one, outsource the rest. This forum topic is not dedicated to pointing fingers at who to blame for why Uzumaki looks like that, or lament over the quality of the work, there's at least two other topics for people to do that in. I'm asking this question: which option would YOU have chosen? Option A is to scrap everything and put out a statement saying it's cancelled. A friend came up with this idea for Option B which is to finish episode 1 and release it and see if the fan response can get investors to finish episodes 2-4 (though that's a shot in the dark and everyone would go "Wait you only have episode 1 finished after five years" and everyone is actually right). Personally, I'm happy Option C was chosen. It hurts, but at least each episode still has some good cuts. At least the incredible Colin Stetson score gets released. |
| Honestly shouldn't have released this half baked and mismanaged anime at all. It's supposed to utilize its animation and visual storytelling as part of the horror, but that's already down the drain. Ito's work really wouldn't get the proper adaptation it deserved. |
| My opinion is that they shouldnt have even announced about this project until they were sure that they were ready to announce it. Early announcement in 2019 and then multiple delays due to COVID made the fans more and more frustrated, which caused thrm to accelerate the production. It's a shame that some people in the top positions fucked up This could've been a very good horror anime otherwise. |
| mismanagement is so common this days the problem is the higher ups incompetence |

| I completely agree but that wasn't really the question, I'm asking if you think the series is should have been cancelled or if what we have is "better than nothing". |
0215MADman said: I completely agree but that wasn't really the question, I'm asking if you think the series is should have been cancelled or if what we have is "better than nothing". I agree with DeMarco. That is go with option C In my days in uni, I have been in situations where I had to work hard on something and in the end it went to nothing due to the fucking covid, as I got grace points without even submitting my work. Even if I was getting something out of it, it meant my hard work was for nothing, I was beyond disappointed. Even though this is not the same thing here, It really comes down to wether your hard work meant something or not. After all those hard work, if it all was put into trash, I'd feel real disappointed. People will keep complaining regardless of how this anime looks. Even if the anime looked good, people will complain for using rotoscoping and CGI and now since it looks bad, people. like me are complaining over that. Publishing this work means, whoever were involved will get some xp in their records. Like their career's portfolio. This will either help them in the future if they were genuine with their works, or will get filtered, if they were not. Thats how I see it, if that makes any bit of sense. |

| I'm salty, so I say just cancel the whole thing, but unfortunately C is the most practical. |
| If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that. |
