![ILLSLICK - WINTER IS COMING [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/dwTMeM1zIhQ/mqdefault.jpg)
This adaptation never had more than 1 episode, that's its legacy
What are you talking about?
@@narukunn5152Episode 1 was pretty good....
@@barbietube4714 it had a Japan only live action movie
Yep, thats it for this series.
I'll remember the anime as the "unfinished only 1 episode" one
Actually ep 4 is supposed to have the same quality as the first one
Episode one was so ass, all my homies dropped this show. Garbage animation, garbage story.
@@devaunbeatsgod i hope your right. It won’t save it all but the spectacle at the end is something worth seeing animated
aaaand the Junji Ito curse remains undefeated
To be fair episode 1 is really solid One-Shot and if leaks are supposed to be believed episode 4 also may be good. But damn it has been such a waste.
Especially as akward animation and no proper mouth movements in episodes 2 and 3, could have been overlooked, if the actual direction and editing weren't sloppy as hell.
Like pushing the crescent scar girl into episode 1 made sense for promotional reasons, but I don't get the idea of why they aren't just sticking to manga's event continuity. Splitting stories and jumping around makes no sense, especially as there is no actual reason to it.
what was bad about this episode exactly ?
@@r33lsniper18 cut content, mish-mashed scenes, kinda bad work on animation and drawing - Alicia actually points out few of these in the video even. Like people's faces melting as if they were made with AI.
@@mjm3091 nah she was just nitpicking like crazy it was really not bad at all if u just watch it without doing that. They did cut a few panels but they are either dialogue that doesn’t matter or an extra scary panel
@@mjm3091 apon rereading the chapter that were adapted in this ep. The one thing that threw that pacing off was the scene in the manga they cut with Shuichi and Keire sitting on the beach and Shuichi senses the storm coming. i honestly hate that they took that scene out
The way this episode was paced bothered me so much more than last episode’s animation ever did. They completely removed any tension or build up just so they could cover all twenty chapters in 4 episodes
They basically tried remixing bits from earlier chapters into the later chapters covered in Ep 3, and it did not work AT ALL. Oof....
@@andrewcoleman3741yeah, for example why the hell would they do the pottery story after they started the Jack in the box story where it is established that they have started to bury people again
@@Cs-cp6vo well to be far they did that with most chapters where they start a chapter in one episode and end it in the other… they were told 4 episodes and did everything they could to make it fit
That was also a problem in last episode. I was really into the changes they were going for with episode 1, as the episodic nature of Uzumaki was actually a little problem I had with the manga, but starting with episode 2 it felt poorly executed.
They tried to make a JoJo Part 4 "July 15" but it didn't work at all
@@Cs-cp6vo Yup. If they were that determined to only make four episodes, they could've just trimmed out several of the weaker chapters, and had a more tightly focused (if abridged) adaptation. In Ep 1, I was like "Ok, so they omitted The Firing and maybe they'll just kill off Shuuhei's mom offscreen. It's still pretty good so far"
And then I watched episode 2.... O_o
Alicia - should totally read the Uzumaki manga after this, they cut a lot of narrarion, dialogues and chop stories around - which is the biggest thing that has been messing with the actual story. And this could inspire you to check out more of Junji Ito.
I only pray she read this
In Ep2, I thought they omitted showing "Hair Girl's" corpse (because she died in that early chapter), so I laughed WAY too hard when this episode had her still attached to that pole during the "Typhoon #1" chapter , like the town either just forgot that she was there for days/weeks, or they deliberately left her body there to use as a novelty weather rock.
"I'm currently at the intersection of 5th and Elm, and as you tell from the dead teen currently ragdolling behind me, that windspeeds have now reached at least 145km/h. Residents should take shelter immediately! Back to you, Tom!"
Ngl I kiiiinda liked that change lol. Idk, I thought it was interesting, and the reporter's voice acting at the surprise of the corpse kinda carried the scene.
Also the "Ah, hai! Haha, Kobayashi desu!" added some comedy I found to weirdly fit nice. I don't know.
@@PrixtoTNT welp in the original the people did not notice the body because of the hair for a couple of hours , but it seems like in the anime they did not notice the body because of the hair for like about a month , and the hair weakend only after the typhoon hit it !
@@muhemmadalamery1025 Yeaaah, it is definetely weird and not a perfect addition by any means lol. But that way you put it about the hair weakening because of the typhoon does sound cool
the time span was different in the anime and I bet it would be impossible to remove the body cuz of the spirals
Director be like "Let's grab some chapter 9, chapter 10, chapter 2, toss in 4 seconds of chapter 4 for some reason, go back to chapter 9. This will be a very coherent story." Chapter numbers aren't right but it's basically what they did with this adaptation.
hands-off production
They left out the explanation that the mom is suffering from constant lack of balance (aka spinning), because she cut the spiral out of her ear...
not that big a deal
@@r33lsniper18 haven't watched the anime yet but how
@@GalekC cuz she dies anyway in the next panel edit: sorry for spoiler
Man, I am a fan of junji ito's works and was waiting this anime since it was announced. Im so disappointed that the animation bombed after episode 1. They hyped up the animation on teasers but only got it on the first one. It took years to get update to the anime, only to get this. I wished ito's work to not be disrespected like this
If you look closely, you can see every character wobble a bit in a spiral constantly also they cut it out but the babies cry when Kirie gets sus of them and the crying pains her ears like the sirens do for suichi also the doctor explains in the manga that the mom ruined her balance when stabbing her ear and is in a state of vertago where she feels like she’s constantly spinning in a spiral! As an animator… I get where the effort went into example legs moving are considered one of the hardest things to animate along with what they had to do for that thorn monster read a monster in itself!
I was so damn pissed when they removed the line about vertigo, because that's literally the scariest part of Shuichi's mother story - end of a chapter with her screaming into the void and explanation how she is in literal hell, mummified and bound.
The pregnancy story was the one which most disturbed me in the manga and I was so looking forward to the animated adaptation of it. And this is what we fucking got….
When they didn't finish the jack in the box story I thought that was pretty unsatisfying but when then in this episode when they half assed every chapter that got adapted I really didn't expect them to randomly put the payoff for that story in just randomly at the end of the episode for no reason. Pretty bad so far, to be honest it was never going to be as good as the manga but they could have done much better structuring these plots
The funny thing about the lady who removes spirals is that the Cochlea is a spiral shaped bone located next to nearby vestibular system in the ear, The Cochlea helps with hearing and the vestibular helps with balance, if you damage the vestibular system it makes the world feel like it's spinning.
This spinning can be temporary if it the damage can be healed, The brain can adapt to severe one-sided damage, Where as severe double sided damage is usually much more permanent and requires plenty of rehabilitation exercises to even get some semblance of control back.
I forgot why we were in a hospital right after the lighthouse cliffhanger from last episode. Slight burns I guess 😂
You could argue that the change in quality in the episodes is the curse of the spirals is twisting reality slightly i still enjoy it
3:25 It felt like the first time I have seen 60 and more FPS television. Being so used to 30/45 FPS in regular programming - TV always felt like separate dimension, like people and cartoons stored in a box - like a book.
60+ made it finally look like real world, which freaked me out, because you got that dissonance between what you know and what you see, now looking like something totally else. Like if you had marionette clown, but then it became costume clown and it started moving like a proper human. First episode gave me that feeling again - that uncanny valley of any super realistically animated 3D animes, that make cartoon characters move like humans.
At least the fear factor has peaked with this new episode
Would love a stream/video of her reading the manga. If anything the anime may get more ppl to read uzumaki
Its called as mosquito column i think the typhon voice is by Junji ito himself 😂
They skipped over the explanation of a lot of these, but particularly the pottery bit. That part always stuck with me after reading Uzumaki years ago.
The town has a tradition of cremating the dead, something mentioned in ep's 1 and 2. After the death of Suichi's father, all the cremation smoke spirals and descends into the pond that the Gf's dad makes Pottery from. What wasn't really communicated well in the adaptation is that their souls are also being drawn into the mud. They're then brought to the Kiln where they are torturously burned, and their souls leave and go back to the pond to start the cycle again. They're in a perpetual hell for quite a long while before Suichi smashes the Kiln.
In the anime it's barely explored at all, which is disappointing. All I can say is Read The manga, even being partially spoiled won't ruin the dread you'd feel reading it imo.
That explanation was GREATLY needed.
I'm glad we at least got the first episode to look so amazing because it shows that with enough dedication and passion for the source material, ANY artstyle no matter how niche and complex it might be, CAN be adapted properly, its just extremely difficult. This gives me a teensy tiny sliver of hope as a Berserk fan.
It feels like everything that has happened since episode 1 is in a dream. The pacing makes it feel like a nightmare where things just get worse and worse, but no one has sense or control of the dream to do anything about it. The mostly bad animation with some stick out moments of still cool animation is similar to how you can't recall anything but the most striking parts of a dream.
Man, imagine if we got an adaptation that we could just earnestly enjoy instead of having to look for angles to make it even a little less disappointing.
I know everyone is complaining about the animation, but I’m just here to enjoy the story (which I am).😅
5 years in production...
I don't know what happened to the quality beyond episode 1, it is the same people who animated episode 1 but i think i read somewhere that the studio had issues while they were making the adaptation, i don't know what kind of issues though
As much as everyone is starting to talk about the pacing and the animation I just like watching the anime becuase even tho it can be fast paced and the animation isn't that great I still find it a good watch for the body horror and just the regular horror.
16:17 Oh, man. You do not want to know how many answers that question has.
Coal-fired trains release spirals of smoke into the sky.
Electric train tracks have spiral coils on all the transformers.
Toyota automobiles have spiral cable sub-assemblies, and most if not all other cars at the time had spiral shock absorbers, as well as various other mechanical springs.
No roads or tracks are completely straight. So if all curves keep increasing over time, eventually all the roads will have spirals.
Any wheel with a scratch on it can resemble a spiral while spinning, as well as spinning airplane and helicopter blades in the sunlight.
Spirals form naturally in the air, the water, the Earth's magma, and the apparent movement of the stars in the night sky.
(Speaking of magma, plate tectonics that form mountains could be thought of as a very slow spiral taking millions of years. If the curve increases exponentially faster, the mountains will repeatedly flip over. The molten and solid layers of rock will eventually become folded over more times than the blade of a samurai sword.)
All DNA, human and otherwise, is made of spirals.
The entire galaxy is a giant spiral.
Pleasent dreams. 😵💫
It is indeed "cooked"
Man...will they ever stop disrepecting Ito's name? And I had hope after 1st episode too, man...
p.s. if you want more gross, my mom told me a story about how a girl she knew slept on a floor once and got a cockroach in her ear. She tried to pull it out once she woke up, but only got the half (butt) The rest got stuck. Had to get her to hospital.
In hindsight they should have released episode 1 earlier & explained the production issues in the show itself. I think we all understand anime production big or small is terrible. Then maybe episode 1 could’ve been a proof of concept to put resources into the rest. Easy to say that now & there had to be so many morning parts that potentially messed up. Unfortunate
If this was a western Studio adapting this they could have totally lied and blamed the audience for noticing the quality. I only say that because it’s still doing it’s job of freaking people out.
It hurt when now you can compare how bad the difference in quality is with the dad spiral corpse from EP 1
only 4 eps for the series?? what a bummer.
Yeah, this was a complete bait and switch. The production committee fired the Episode 1 director (Hiroshi Nagahama, he also directed Mushishi) and replaced him with someone cheaper.
If I were Adult Swim, I would sue the production committee for fraud and false dealings.
if you want to see an anime fully directed by the guy who did the first episode: Aku no Hana (Flowers of Evil)
Generational fumble after a great first episode....what a shame :/
22:11 LMAOOOOOOOOO
Man, they are just railroading through the story.
This should of been more episodes and had the studio whi did episode one do it. 12 episodes could've covered the whole manga and then some.
10 episodes covering two stories each would have been much better
I knew that the mosquito's would shake Alicia hard. Let's see how much.
Edit: Scratch that. Bad animation ruins horror.
My disappointment is immeasurable and my month has been ruined
Maybe one day we'll get a good adaptation
In an attempt to reduce the episodic nature of the manga, they completed whiffed the storytelling. Also, the mushroom and spring scene are completely unscary…
They edited horror out, by demolishing the pacing. There is no time to notice the horror, acknowledge if, feel the fear or disgust and then calm down and rethink the traumatic experience.
Like between last episode and this episode I fully forgot about Jack-o-lantern story, because it was literally squished between other ones more than the dude got squished under that car wheel.
Regardless of its flaws, I'm still enjoying it
Welp, my hope for Hellstar Remina is all but dead. Maybe in some other universe, alternate-me is enjoying a 12 episode god tier adaptation of Uzumaki 😢
Man, I sorta wish the first episode wasn't incredible cause it got literally EVERYONES hope up that the rest would be incredible.
i mean a step down from incredible to still pretty good isnt the worst thing
This episode I thought was much better than the previous one, especially in the animation department. Though the pacing is still a problem, from what I gather, the director for this episode doesn't have much directing experience as he was primarily an animator beforehand, which is why the animation is good but the pacing isn't.
I'm worried now, my boyfriend was really excited for this anime lol, I'm hoping for the best but it's not lookin' good
This pacing is borked to all hell.
Guess I'll just reread the hardcover...
Also this wasn't really explaining in the episode
But the potter collected clay infused with the soot of all the cremated people in the town.
That he collected from the pond.
Truly cooked I wasn't going to watch it but yeah it was looking good for the first episode
I guess I'm in the minority that thinks this episode, animation wise, was just fine? The only episode where I actually thought "oh that does not look very good" was episode 2. In terms of pacing, it's been an issue for me since episode 1 but I expected that because they had the unfortunate task of cramming all of it into 4 episodes.
Has she watched Berserk (1997)?
She has not. And I’m honestly think it’d be better if she didn’t for several reasons…😅😰
As a Junji Ito fan... I actually loved this episode, my favorite of the three. I love chaotic stuff like this, that's why my favorite Junji Ito movie is Tomie Unlimited. And also the animation was a lot better than episode 2.
The thing is - is it because the stories adapted in this one are your favourite or is it actually the anime being good. Because I would say it's the latter.
Majority of this episode is solid just because it's Junji's work. Especially he always writes hospital horror so well. But, if anything this episode butchers the actual pace of the horror and for no reason cuts the punchlines.
Like the whole Shuichi's mother storyline was awfully adapted. Sure it had animation even comparable to episode 1, but for me the main factor in it was the narration made by Shuichi. The punchline being the scene where his "mummy" screams in upmost distress, with Shuichi informing us, that she damaged her ears too much, causing endless vertigo. It's straight up not in this adaptation, one single line of explanation would have made it dozen time better. And episodes 2 and 3 had that through all the stories - unnecessary cuts to something that could have been done in a background of the scene.
As a huge Junji Ito fan...is it bad of me to feel glad we at least got this much? For as much as the animation and pacing for my favorite Ito story actively piss me off, considering what we got with the Junji Ito Collection and most horror anime in general, this could've came out way worse. I guess we should be counting our blessings?
Its sad they cramped those chapters of the manga on every one episode.....speed run
One thing is butchering the animation and style, but I would never understand why they decided to cut narration and important dialogues that make the actual horror of half of these stories.
Like the scariest part about Shuichi's mother isn't centipede trying to get inside or IV flowing in a spiral. It's the damn narration at the end of a chapter where Shuichi's mother screams in horror mummified, with simple narration informing us that because of hurting her own ears she was in constant vertigo hell, until the very end of her life.
Pottery storyline was scary, because it was slow and unsettling - it was the fire slowly calling to Shuichi, in a way where the wind was calling to Kirie in this episode.
I genuine feel like they should have sticked to original timeline of the manga and just drop or cut down some of the side stories. The whole snail thing, was scary because it was condensed and gross, having it being awkwardly split around made no sense. Randomly showing the Romeo and Juliet-esque story added nothing. Splitting Jack-in-the-box and putting it in-between the stories totally made me forget about it - making his comeback feel extremely random. Lighthouse even, if visually amazing for Junji's artstyle, wasn't as important as the fate of Shuichi's and Kirie's families, which should have been the focus of the first two episodes, with last two having main focus on the town getting destroyed.
The linking of the stories and constant jumping breaks the actual horror factor, because one scene ends and then with straight face they move to other monster that "suddenly" appeared in the same area, to have it's update. Where in manga, each time - every story starts with them calmed, then they go through horror, run for their life traumatised and then they try to cope for day or two trying to forget, until they are kinda back in normalcy and calmed down, to ONLY THEN get shocked by something new. Like direction of this anime is the worst part really.
Is it wild that I actually liked this episode more than the firsts one the hospital part and the part with the storm and the part at the abandoned house those were all cool to me
Yeah i don't why people hate it so much. It had the same pace has the first episode. There is still so much escalation and story to happen
8:05 I would have told to go back to their desk and get back to work. They aren’t done. That should not have made the Final Cut. Sloppy.
More like undercooked
I'm surprised the title "This anime is cooked..." is used for this episode instead of episode 2 lol.
Anyway after watching this episode I'm happy it's at least miles better than 2
day 50 of recommending bojack horseman.
Also, i know this doesnt really do anything, but i do it anyway.
This is sad, I'm trying to enjoy the show, but everywhere I look I only see people talking badly about it. Is it really true that no one is enjoying watching it?
??????? Huh?
Im confused about everyones hate. I read the manga and this episode is paced as fast as the first episode
As an animator… it’s funny seeing non animators complain about things that take 30 hours to create a single second…
Yeah I could be wrong but her complaint at 8:24 seems kinda goofy. I feel like that's been a constant in this show where lines aren't stable when characters are moving. I thought that was just because of the way they're animating it, but it doesn't seem like new problem. I could be wrong though
Does it taking 30 hours to create mean people can't complain about it?
If you're trying to say that the animators worked hard on this, that's fine. I won't argue with that. But, just because people worked hard on something for a long time, that doesn't guarantee that people will like the end result.
I consider uzumaki a "shortfilm", not a series.
Wtf how am I just now finding out she's reacting to Uzumaki? lol.
Anyway, I'll watch the video later as I still got tl watch the episode myself but episode 2 was suuuuch a disappointment, and the title and comments aren't making episode 3 look any better lmao. What a shame
I really dont see the problem with the animation you're talking about. I think you have to be very very picky to notice much
Interaction
I will say the hospital part was done pretty well but everything after that was just a cram fest. Btw, the person who is directing the episodes after episode 1 is the one responsible for Tower of God season 2 so, yeah... that explains a lot.
You have to admire the dedication to missing every single one
Writing a comment
Maybe I am being stupid, but, this still seems the same as the other episodes in terms of animation.
In terms of animation: Episode 1 was fantastic. Episodes 2 was just bad. Episode 3 is much better than 2 but not as good as episode 1.
The overall art quality has been basically consistent though.
The "One Episode Junji Ito" curse still remains
Oh well 🥲
