Uzumaki (Toonami)

[Moldy]

Uzumaki is a four episode mini series based on Ito’s Shogakukan manga. The story follows a high-school teenager, Kirie Goshima; her boyfriend, Shuichi Saito; and the citizens of the small, fictional Japanese town of Kurouzu-cho, which is cursed by supernatural events involving spirals.

Wenn das durchgehend ernst wird, ohne Kinderquatsch schau ich mal rein.

Mit dem Realfilm konnte ich zuletzt leider nur noch wenig anfangen

[Dr. Fu Manchu]

Find den Realfilm nach wie vor super, auch wenn die Vorlage da nur angerissen wird. Das hier guck ich sowieso.

Hieß der Realfilm Spiral?
Ich hab am Filmfest München irgendwas in die Richtung gesehen (vor 100 Jahren) und einzige Erinnerung ist: weird

[Hexer]

Ja, Spiral.

[Dejin]

Merci.
Muss ich dringend nochmal schauen

[Munin]

Na so dringend ist das nicht.

[Dejin]

Um nachzuvollziehen warum ich den damals nicht begriffen hab...

[Munin]

[Hexer]

Cool

[Savior]

Sick.

Auch ein schönes Companion Piece dazu:

Angeblich soll nach einer guten ersten Episode der Rest völlig abstürzen, wegen irgendeinem Produktionsdrama, bei dem u. a. an chinesische Animations-Sweatshops outgesourced wurde (oder werden musste).

There's a series of deleted bluesky posts from the EP, Jason DeMarco:

"It's fine, we knew this would happen. I can't talk about what went down, but we were screwed over, and the options were A) not finish and air nothing and call it a loss, B) Just finish and air Episode 1 and leave it incomplete or C) run all four, warts and all. Out of respect for the hard work we chose C."

"After waiting so long, it makes sense people would be mad. Unfortunately, I can't tell them who to blame it on... but someone is definitely at fault here, and we all just had to do our best when things imploded. Maybe others would have made different choices. We did the best we could with what we had."

"But again, a lot of people worked very hard on this show, and I didn't think the actions of just one or two people should be the reason it never saw the light of day. Maybe that's the wrong choice. I truly don't know. But those people have a right to be annoyed and disappointed. I'm glad you are digging it."
