In a now deleted series of posts on Bluesky, Uzumaki producer Jason Demarco shared a bit of insight into what went wrong with the series.

After fans complained about a noticeable decline in animation quality after Uzumaki's first episode, an executive producer apparently took to social media to explain that the team was "screwed over" during the making of the Adult Swim anime.

That reception, however, has soured in the wake of the premiere of Uzumaki’s second episode this past weekend. Many viewers have taken to social media to express their confusion and disappointment at what they have described as visible decline in the quality of the second episode’s animation,

Episode one, helmed by animation studio Fukagu, fluidly recreated some of Uzumaki's most famous scenes in Junji Ito's style. Episode two was helmed by a different studio, Akatsuki, and in the day since it aired, social media has been lamenting Uzumaki's baffling drop in quality.

Uzumaki is getting slammed for production quality dropping between episodes, leading to one of the producers revealing what happened.

Uzumaki was one of the most anticipated anime adaptations ever, and after years and significant delays, controversy has erupted over its low quality.

The executive producer of Uzumaki reveals what went wrong with the anime version of Junji Ito's famous horror story after Episode 2's drop in quality.
