A scene from the Uzumaki Anime
In a horror landscape filled with visionary creators, few have had as much of an impact as Junji Ito. The mangaka's many works have terrified readers for decades with the amount of detail he puts into every page, making the entire reading experience unnerving. It's a level of depth that dooms almost every attempt at adaptation — and then there's Uzumaki.
No Anime Is As Twisted as ‘Uzumaki’ While the anime introduces new audiences to this terrifying story, fans of Ito have known for decades just how petrifying Uzumaki really is. The story focuses on Kirie Goshima and her boyfriend, Shuichi Saito , a teenage couple who can only watch as a supernatural fixation on a spiral shape ravages their village.
The way it uses these sounds perfectly captures the kind of unrelenting dread of this story and the manic actions of its characters, but the show's real talent comes from how it uses silence. While most scenes have some kind of sound, its truly shocking moments — like when Kirie discovers her friend's forehead has become a whirling abyss — are completely silent.
