Uzumaki Anime Faces Backlash Over Episode 2 Animation Quality

The highly anticipated adaptation of Junji Ito's horror manga sees a significant drop in animation quality, disappointing fans and sparking controversy.

Uzumaki's second episode has been criticized for its drastic decline in animation quality compared to the first episode, leading to widespread disappointment among fans.
Executive producer Jason DeMarco revealed in now-deleted social media posts that the production team faced significant challenges, forcing them to release all episodes despite quality issues.
Fans noted inconsistencies in animation, with some comparing the second episode's quality to outdated video game graphics, and speculating about changes in production teams between episodes.
The anime, which has been in development since 2019, was delayed multiple times, with initial episodes receiving praise for their faithfulness to the original manga's art style.
Despite the backlash, two more episodes are set to air, leaving fans hopeful for a potential improvement in animation quality.
