It’s interesting reading the previews for the first episode of Uzumaki, because I thought the episode was fantastic, but I also understand the criticisms levied at it. Thinking back in hindsight, the episode does juggle and switch between the stories quicker than I would’ve expected, but I feel the only story that is slightly weakened is Kurotani’s but I still think it’s done well overall. The only issue I had was the scene that introduced the third overall story, as I feel moving that into episode 2 would’ve allowed slightly more time to the other two stories. Still part of me is wondering if the reason why I didn’t have a problem with the pacing was because I haven’t read the manga. Since I’m not familiar with how the story was originally paced I didn't think the pacing was much of a problem at all. Still, I can understand the pacing kind of lessening the show for some.

On one hand, it's nice to see more LitRPGs that aren't isekai, but on the other hand... sigh.
At least Danmachi is premiering early this season unlike before where it comes mid-late in the season. @db999 Watching the first episode of Uzumaki w/out reading the manga, and my biggest issue is that it was funnier than i expected it to be. I genuinely laughed out loud at some points. Which would be great if it were meant to be a comedy. |

The Uzumaki movie is 90 minutes. The manga is 3 volumes. The anime will be as long as the movie but doesn´t even have a cinematic budget and scope to at least bring something to the table. They could have also cherry-picked which stories to adapt and leave behind but nah. Why would a production committee inflict this on itself? I get that the 4 ep show wasn´t actively worked on for 5 years without a break but all of this is mystifying. It does look amazing in isolation of course.

The production's about what I expected from the PV. I just hope it doesn't utterly collapse. |

Demon Lord Retry is quite odd. If I understand some people's description of this, it's an adaptation of source material that basically takes the "Retry" part literally and retries telling the story. I guess what I'll be waiting to see is if it diverges significantly at some point, or is going to be a slightly different telling of the same thing.

I'm gonna get killed for this but I didn't find the Uzumaki premiere scary. Maybe it was because it was always in black and white and that toned the horror whenever something violent happened. The animation and story is good but the execution didn't scare me at all and I'm get scared a lot. I mean, I found Re:zero scarier and that show didn't went insane with the animation but instead with the style of horror like one death Subaru has when half of his head is split in two and and the entire screen starts being covered by snow as depressing movie plays.

I can't recall if I finished the Uzumaki manga, but going by the reviews of the anime here, I may have to go do that first.
