Not just the animation, even the plot was kinda terrible considering how much people hyped this shit, it wasn't terrible sorry but it wasn't great either

It was hyped up for a valid cause. You should read the manga. The studio butchered the anime adaptation.

Indeed. I will go and say that the manga was never that good to begin with. Good example of an overrated work that is only carried by its visuals....which the anime made worse cause it failed to even capture the manga visuals for the majority of its runtime, which isnt that long to begin with cause they were going through scenarios faster than a gaming speedrunner.

I haven't completed the series yet, but I was stunned...stunned to see it plummet on its archival entry page on MAL from somewhere above an 8, in the low 8s, upon the series premiere night and in the immediate aftermath, compared to dropping firmly into 6 territory only three episodes later.

I can't recall when I last saw a series rating on its MAL page plummet that drastically that quickly.

I'm basically unfazed, but I know there are people who are furious. I don't think the term "livid" would be inaccurate or too strong to use in this context. People are livid.

As a type of person who prefers watching anime before manga Uzumaki really confused me as what made it so hyped up (no talking about animation cause I don't care my most focus just goes to reading subtitles). The story made no sense so far and at the end of 4th episode that spiral machine made by ancients??????. It feels like they just made up a nonsense thing so they could make a little bit of sense as people are saying that they rushed it and didn't give proper adaptation I am sorry but the anime really ruined the mood for to even go and read manga I might just forget everything about Uzumaki and watch other great horror stuff out there.

Well, the manga relies on shock-value instead of plot too so it's not like the anime was going to be any better.

They tried to replicate the atmosphere of the manga but failed to do so because of the bad production. A shame because it was already delayed for so long.

At least the 1st episode is good and the recurring spiral shizzle is meme-worthy.
No, this isn't my signature.

The manga has always been bad. What saved Uzumaki's manga and all of Junji Ito's was just the art. Junji Ito is a terrible author for creating stories in my opinion. And this adaptation was truly rubbish in many ways, really crap. The animation sucks...Several things happening at the same time... Terrible pace... Horrible characters... And a mediocre story. Even the manga art, which is good, In the anime the art was so simplistic and poorly adapted.

Uzumaki is very, VERY overrated.

@WatchTillTandava I can think of a couple recent comparable flops, like the second season of Promised Neverland and the third season of Seven Deadly Sins. God of High School and Tower of God are also comparable flops, but not quite as bad.

Honestly, I loved God of High School. That show deserves more attention.

@Merve2Love the translation is on point. Good for you.
But is it any good?
