Debuting on Saturday, September 28th, here's the official trailer for Adult Swim's adaptation of Junji Ito's Japanese horror manga Uzumaki.

It's been a long time coming – and it's looking like it was more than worth the wait. On Saturday, September 28th at 12:30 am, Adult Swim's anime adaptation of Junji Ito's Japanese horror manga Uzumaki will make its debut – and now, we have an official trailer to pass along that will stay with you. Seriously. It's disturbing in all of the ways that you hoped it would be. The series is set to air during Adult Swim's anime programming block Toonami – with English Dub and Japanese with English subtitles episodes airing weekly.

First announced during 2019's Crunchyroll Expo and with Hiroshi Nagahama directing, here's a look at the official overview for the series: "'Let's leave this town together,' asks Shuichi Saito, a former classmate of Kirie Goshima, a high school girl who was born and grew up in Kurouzu-cho. Everything from a strange whirlwind, billowing smoke from the crematorium, and the residents are turning into spirals. People's eyes spin in whirls, a tongue spirals, and the bodies twist unnaturally. In an attempt to escape the curse of the spirals, Kirie decides to flee from Kuouzu-cho, but can she get away from this turmoil?"

The Japanese/English voice actors for the animated series include Kirie Goshima – Uki Satake / Abby Trott, Shuichi Saito – Shin-ichiro Miki / Robbie Daymond, Azami Kurotani – Mariya Ise / Cristina Vee, Kirie's Dad – Toshio Furukawa / Doug Stone, Shuichi's Dad – Takashi Matsuyama / Aaron LaPlante, Shuichi's Mom – Mika Doi / Mona Marshall, and Katayama – Katsutoshi Matsuzaki / Max Mittleman.
