It was heavily criticized due to the severe drop in animation quality after the first episode. It’s like they spent 95% of the budget in episode 1, which got everybody hyped (and it is legitimately good), and then left the rest of the budget to pay a couple of overworked interns to haphazardly put together the rest of the animation.
The events of the story are all there, and the art style is the closest you can probably get to the original, but it does fail to capture a lot of the magic of the manga due to shoddy animation. I wouldn’t recommend it, personally.
I found it really creepy! I hadn’t read uzumaki beforehand, I did afterwards and enjoyed both. It might be a bit of an off-putting style, but it’s staying true to the art style of ito.
Other commenter got the title. The artist is Junji Ito, and he has a lot of works as equally creepy as this one. Uzumaki might be the most popular one
Thank you, both! Already deeply engrossed in it.
If you’re curious they made uzumaki into an anime.
I’ll be honest, I’m immediately apprehensive that they messed it up. Is it good? Quick Google search says Ito was involved so that’s a relief
