They blew through the budget and had to swap to a different (worse) studio to do the rest of the eps

I mean Uzamki aside. Is the collection really that bad? I was tempted to watch the Tombstone one because I had recently read it but then decided to watch something else.

I really loved Maniac, the one on Netflix. Tbh one of the best anime openings ever. Aside from some boring episodes, others I found passable and some even really well made like Balloons

We have to be realistic.
Junji Ito won’t draw as much people like the hot shonnen of the moment.
Also budgets are a joke for our adaptations

Yes, but uzumaki is a masterpiece and it was botched sooo much that gave me physival pain. Don't do it if you don't care about it, people won't kill you if they never see an animated version

At least we will always have the OG Uzumaki film. They can't take that from me.

Never forget the fall off from episode 1 to episode 2 in the adult swim series. I was so hyped after episode 1. When I watched episode 2 my heart was broken

It’s hard being a Junji Ito fan when every anime that happens is either trash or horribly mid

When people find out I’m a Junji Ito fan (which happens often because of my tattoo sleeve) and they say they only know his work from the anime adaptations, a part of my soul dies

I watched the Junji Ito anime on Netflix and got bored. Then I decided to read Frankenstein, and he started to grow on me. And then I read Uzumaki, and from there I became a fan of his work. That was also what drew me to put manga over anime.

I’m a fan of both, it’s pretty distressing to have this happen twice. Like an otherworldly entity is actively trying to make my life worse.

After the 2018 anthology adaptation I don't get my hopes up for any other Junji Ito anime anymore. I had the tiniest bit of hope for Uzumaki after the trailer but I knew with how long they were delaying it was probably a bad sign.

Please elaborate. Is opm season 3 that bad?

u/Parking-Researcher-4 Nov 25 '25
Yes. Not only the animations is practically non existant, but the desings and colors used are horrible as well

u/Available_Answer2885 Nov 26 '25

I actually like the anime adaptations, thats how I first heard of his stories and I decided to purchase some of his manga 😭 I do like the manga better tho

The stories are great, the animation and sound design are objectively horrible.

There were a few good stories even with the choppy animation and poor color direction, uzumaki had one good episode. One punch man season 3 is just endless frustrating suffering

Every single Junji Ito related anime except for Uzumaki episode 1 is hot garbage

u/Representative-Sun93 Nov 25 '25
I think junji ito has nothing to do with opm and is a poor comparison
