Junji Ito: Spiral into Horror
He a little stuck
(Manga - Uzumaki Junji Ito)
I consider him to be pansexual, but many people believe heās bi.
(Heās definitely neither gay nor straight, so I didnāt include these options in the poll, yet youāre welcome to write your opinion in the comments. Iād love to expand my perspective on this question)
Guys, why do I always get into fandoms that have almost no one in them.
Iām hyperfixating on Uzumaki so hard Iām making a SONG about it.
With LYRICS.
From the POV of THIS MAN:
I NEED HIM SO BAD. MY GF SAID HE LOOKS āOKAYā AND I WAS FLABBERGASTED.
Holy smokes, thereās a lot of great stuff coming out this season. Hereās my intial watchlist.
New shows for the season:
Uzumaki (Toonami/Max) (Been waiting on this one for a LONG time. About three or four years I think? First episode was pretty good. Excited to see the rest.)
DanDaDan (Crunchyroll/Hulu/Netflix) (Most anticipated show of the season. I saw the first three episodes in theaters. They were incredible. Anime of the year contender.)
Blue Box (Netflix) (Another highly anticipated show. Also potential anime of the year contender. It or DanDaDan could take best romance.)
Magilumiere (Amazon Prime Video) (I really like the source material but Iām a little worried the anime wonāt be as good seeing as their hasnāt been a lot of ads for it, much like what happened with Red Cat Ramen/Ramen Akaneko. Will still watch it.)
Okay, now for returning series. There are a lot.
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3: The Conflict (Hulu) (LETāS FUCKING GOOOOOO!!! Very excited because a) weāre about to see my favorite Bankai (Kyorakuās) and b) the talks about additional scenes like an extension of Ichigoās second fight with Yhwach as well new Ichihime and Renruki scenes has me pumped.)
Blue Lock Season 2 (Crunchyroll) (Hyped for this to come back. Iāve heard the next couple of arcs are pretty great. Still need to see Episode: Nagi.)
Shangri-La Frontier Season 2 (Crunchyroll) (I always love when thereās a video game anime that is just about people playing video games and thereās no life threating stakes. Might need to start the manga for this one.)
Ron Kamonohashiās Forbidded Deductions Season 2 (Crunchyroll) (Started reading the manga for this one partway into season one last year and am now caught up. Excited to see the animeās take on the next couple of arcs.)
Beastars: Final Season Part 1 (Netflix) (It sucks that weāre getting this in parts and this part wonāt be out till Christmas. But Iāll still enjoy it.)
Shows I might check out:
Toilet Bound Hanako-kun Season 2 (Crunchyroll) (Saw the first season when it came out and enjoyed it. I know a spin-off came out sonce then but I need to see if itās required watching. May need to rewatch season one because I barely remember it.)
Dragon Ball Daima (Crunchyroll) (Iām not the biggest Dragon Ball fan but I do love the vibes of the OG series and this has a lot of those. Plus, Akira Toriyama was heavily involved before his untimely passing. May he rest in peace. Might also check out Sandland on Hulu.)
Dubs Iām rewatching: currently making my way through Undead Unluck. After that, either Frieren or Mashle.
Anyway, thatās it for my list! Iāll add more if I find any other shows that intrigue me. š
The director of the first episode also worked in the adaptation of the anime aku no hana. Whether you liked it or not, his work with rotoscoping was pretty good in my opinion and it fitted uzumaki. Now though, we are stuck with crappy 3d models that lack any of the detail or smoothness of the first episode.
So, unlike episode 1 they crammed like 5 chapters into one episode in a way that there was no time to build for any of them nor time to breathe.
And from the looks of it the animation and direction got screwed so badly because it is a different studio and director from the first episode.
I guess all those years of delays had to catch up with the series at some point...
