Holy crap the quality dropped off hard after the amazing Ep1. Hope Ep3 bounces back but this does not look good so far.

Surely a visual downgrade from the first and that was a bit of a shock, especially because the movements of the characters and facial expressions are quite bad, but it's not to be thrown away completely. If we grant the change of studio and the probable lower budget then we can see some strengths within these limits. I liked the sequence with the fight between Kirie and her long-haired antagonist, they used the light of the lighthouse in a strategical way to avoid to spend more budget own drawing and that smart thinking. Despite some dubbing actors are not as strong, like Katayama's, Kyoko Sekino's voice is phenomenal.

The anime is really poorly paced. I'm having a hard time liking this adaption. I really like everything else. I like how the couple being twisted together was animated, and how the bodies in the lighthouse were drawn. I can ignore bad walking animations and the characters not having teeth if I get to see some of the big moments animated like that. I just really, really hate the pacing.
The snail thing happens in the middle of the second volume. At that point so many weird things have already happened so the lack of concern from the other students were kind of justified. It just doesn't work when it happens in the second episode.
@CallMeFreak I actually thought the only weak point of the first episode was that they tried to squeeze too much content in it. Here, at least, I think they took it slower actually.

I can't stop laughing while watching this anime, bruh.
@ZaviieR The snail mating was hilarious. I always found it interesting that the school wants to preserve them but it's also king of ridiculing them.

I laughed at the beach scene. Them sliding across the sand like when Poochie goes back to his home planet was hilarious. I think some people might defend this series a bit because the content is interesting but this might actually be the most poorly made anime I've ever watched. Its even worse than the Junji Ito Collection and that thing absolutely mangled Ito's work. I'll probably slop through the other two episodes just for completion but this thing is shameful.

What a strange episode, the animations aren't good.
It seems that Katayama has become a real snail, who would have thought that Tsumura would also transform.
I found the episode bizarre but it's good that it's a different horror from what I've seen before.

WOW. After watching the trailers and the first episode, I feel like I've been catfished.

I mean, the story is still good, I like the nerve-wracking pacing, and the background art still mostly looks great. But holy moly, this animation is terrible in comparison. Almost as poor as Ajin.

There was definitely a decline in quality in comparison to the first episode, but I don't think it takes away as much as other people seem to believe. The pacing is weird though. Overall, it's doing too much and yet also not enough.

I knew that the animation for this episode was going to be awful, but this was even worse than I thought. It's laughably bad lol. The pacing was horrendous too. The first episode was a bit faster than the manga, but this one went over so many things in such a short amount of time making most of it meaningless.

Excuse me, but what was that? Immense quality drop in every aspect. Heck, even the tone of this show felt way different to what could be experienced while watching the first episode. Chaotic direction took place of very solid direction from ep. 1. It felt as if I was watching a different anime.

Huge disappointment. And I'm pretty tolerant about quality drops, but come on. Not that kind of huge quality drops of a show that consists of 4 episodes in total, and that was delayed multiple times.

Well this was a pitiful downgrade of an episode. At least this episode still in a strange way entertained me but all in all I'm sad abt this whole episode and it made me mega worried abt the last 2 episodes now.

Okey... now I know why they complained so much hahaha
It is quite noticeable the drop in quality between this and the first episode, the animation is no longer detailed or polished, even the fluidity doesn't reach basic haha for example: the part where the kids run along the beach to get away from the parents, it seems that it was just started and they left it (literally is what happened) like this haha
A pity for those who were expecting a good adaptation.
As I didn't see the original source, I can't judge it as an adaptation so I'll do it from the anime and honestly (despite the drop in animation) it doesn't seem as bad as they made it seem... I was expecting something more disastrous.
Animation aside, the story is still interesting and disturbing at least something holds up haha.

PS: I'm probably one of the few who thinks it got worse but not that much haha, I'm curious about the manga.... maybe I'll write it down to compare in the future

Because I watched this a bit late, of course I got quite a lot of spoilers for the next few episodes (including this). Yes, it's true; the animation in episode 1 is quite cool. However, starting from episode 2, the animation is disappointing. Maybe this was due to the studio changing (from Akatsuki to Fugaku). However, it cannot be denied that this is also due to lack of budget and time.

The number of people obsessed with spirals increases again. Starting from Kirie's class, namely Katayama, who was "infected" by the spiral, which caused his back to look like a snail shell. In the end, Katayama turned into a large snail, more precisely a homo gastropoda. It didn't stop there; Kirie also seemed to be infected with the spiral. Luckily, it wasn't serious enough to take over her life but only made her hair spiral. Her hair became quite messy and strange; of course, this caught everyone's attention.

Day by day, more and more people were infected with this spiral symptom. Tsumura and Kyoko also became infected. Tsumura became a snail like Katayama, while Kyoko had strange and spiraling hair like Kirie. But you know what's weird? It seems like those who tend to contract this spiral symptom are those in the same class as Azami, who is also in the same class as Kirie.

Slowly, the spiral symptoms spread throughout Kurouzu city. The impact of this spiral is also increasingly varied. Some can't walk straight (can only walk in a circle/spiral), some have even turned into something like a snake.

Anyways, the ending is pretty creepy. 💀

Soooo wow, animation quality went down the drain real fast. I feel like we didnt get much progression in this ep as it just shows people getting the uzumaki curse, acting all weird, and dying off.

The show rlly makes people cursed for the smallest thing too 😭

You dont show up to class? You turn into a snail

Are you jealous someone has more attention than you? You grow a frick ton of hair

You dont like gay snail breeding? You join them


At this point im just watching this anime to see what other random things the author pulls off.

It was an over average episode, but compared to the first EP, it was significantly down in quality and animation. Also, the series started to get boring from the third episode.

The animation is getting worse by the second. This episode made me so uncomfortable. The way the bully and victim mated was so twisted. The teacher probs turned into a snail for killing all the eggs. Poor Kirie has it rough, thankfully Shuichi was able to save her. Now the other girl, who tf wants attention that badly?

I feel particularly bad for the couple.

Rip Kirie, she deserved better.

decent second ep, I feel like I was scrutinising it more heavily than I would've been if I hadn't heard all the complaints. & sure it looked bad at times but I don't think it was particularly egregious, in this ep at least!
