Same studio, same lame-ass tier director. Expect it to be in the very least as bad as the 2nd episode. Yaay.

I feel bad for the animators. They gotta accept a job to get money so they don't starve to death but then the job fucking sucks, gives them no time or resources to do it properly, then the entirety of the otaku internet hates their guts FOREVER for not being able to deliver a masterpiece.

@StewedBeefHaunch The committee is to blame first, the director second. Animators must never take the blame.

Taiki Nishimura is an episode director. He's spoken out about stuff like this some times before already. Apparently he's only paid around $900 a month per anime he's working on. Now here he's basically saying that he neither got the time nor money, nor staff necessary to actually make this anime.
So seems like the committee basically decided to go full budget cuts for episodes 2 onwards and he's trying to salvage whatever he can.

Oh man, that really sucks, the first episode was so cool.
I actually read the manga because of the first episode, but the drop off of the second episode was so bad, I hoped for a better third episode but I guess that ain't happening...

@Nycro I beg to differ. AI would mean they'd demote animators to quality checks and pay them less, while pushing the already tight schedule even tighter.

I always thought the manga was average, not because it scared me and adopted a good horror atmosphere, but because of the detailed art and an "engaging" story in the sense of making you follow it until the end.The story has already been completely ruined with terrible pacing since episode 1, and the animation started to make the art mediocre from episode 2 onwards, so if this continues, in the end The adaptation of Uzumaki, at least for me, will become one of the worst animes of this season. I don't blame the animators, but the director and author for making a shitty choice.

That said... My condolences to the fans of this lol🙌

I've accepted th fact that the next two episodes are gonna be of shit quality. I'm just gonna watch itdir the sake of Junji Itou. hopefully in the future, someone does justice to Uzumaki.

This is just tragedy in progress. The entire aesthetic of this show had so much potential. I also feel bad for the mangaka. Not everyone is as lucky as Demon Slayer author...

@Nycro AI can only make or combine things that already exist it can't make something new and Uzumaki despite all its flaws is unique there is nothing like it so AI wouldn't have done shit.
