Alongside the clip, director Hiroshi Nagahama and Adult Swim Executive Producer Jason DeMarco shared the news that Uzumaki was forced to be delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and changes to the animation productions.
According to Nagahama, the COVID-19 pandemic has had a tremendous impact on the world of Japanese anime, especially when it comes to Uzumaki.
The first official look at Adult Swim and Production I.G.’s upcoming adaptation of Junji Ito’s horror manga Uzumaki has been released, along with news that the show has been delayed until next year.
Because of this, the show needed to be delayed but is making progress towards being completed.
