thoughts on uzumakis ending

so, the trailer for uzumaki that dropped a couple days ago finally kicked me into reading the last few chapters of the manga, something i had been putting off for a while, and my... the ending is fantastic. i really liked it.

spoilers for uzumaki if you havent read it.

the ending is kind of beautiful. i am all for bittersweet endings, especially in horror. at times, it can feel like the creator is phoning it in when allowing the main protagonist/s to defeat the overwhelming odds and emerge victorious.

uzumaki does not do this. they ostensibly win. let me explain.

kirie and shuichi traverse down into the depths of the dragonfly pond, discovering one of the most horrific things in the entire manga: (to me, anyway) several monoliths dedicated to the spiral, all interconnected, all breathing, all alive. they have caused all of this. they did all of this. they are directly confronted by what has made them both miserable for the past who even knows how long.

and its inescapable.

once they have reached the belly of this beast, there is no way back out. shuichi cant even move his legs anymore.

so what do you think they do? give up? no.

they show one final act of defiance.

they embrace each other. they show that despite everything theyve been through, despite everyone else being dead, despite their entire town being capsized, despite everything, they still love each other.

down in this pit, time slows until it seems not to pass. so in this forever-moment they are stuck, embracing each other. utilizing the very thing that has tortured them so to immortalize their love for each other.

idk man, i think its kind of beautiful. i love it.

So funny to me when boe calls adepts 'wizards' (derogatory). Like they’re not even wrong, it just doesn’t begin to cover the whole *gestures vaguely at the waking nightmare that is the nine houses' standing army.*

I hear wizard, and the first thing I think is not ‘shock troopers who can suffocate you in putrid, pulsating globs of boiling fat pulled from the mangled remains of your dead comrades’. Or ‘soldiers who you definitely blew up a month ago appearing back on the battlefield with their organs regrown and and a functioning bone arm taped on where the missing limb should be’. Or ‘conquerors who arrived in a space ship powered by an obelisk covered with the ancient script of the unrestful dead and bathed constantly in fresh arterial blood while literal skeletons crawl over the hull like weevils’.

Fucking wizards. Love it. Keep being irreverent you crazy bastards.

#the locked tomb #the locked tomb spoilers #body horror cw #that post calling the nine houses’ military junji ito meets starship troopers nailed it so hard #they’re so cartoonishly evil looking from an outsider's pov #like boe probably barely even has to do anything to rile up the citizenry against them #forget the bone colonialism #the bones themselves are probably enough if these are the optics they’re bringing #john heard ‘be a bad wizard’ and said ‘cool turning that into a lifestyle choice for my new empire immediately actually’

just finished Uzumaki, and I have to say it's a little surprising that people talk more about the girl with the spiral on her forehead and not the GAY SNAIL PEOPLE

#DO PEOPLE KNOW OF THE GAY SNAILS?#BEST PART OF THE BOOK #besides. egg galaxy #BUT BEST PART #kirie and azami are so britta and annie #but shuichi is NOT jeff #shuichi is the furthest thing from jeff #first of all he loves kirie like the ending was kind of beautiful #terrifying but beautiful #best power couple in anything horror related #Uzumaki spoilers #uzumaki #junji ito

Ok, final thoughts on Junji Ito Maniac

It was... fine. Better than the Junji Ito Collection, for sure, though I'd argue the creepy scenes looked... well, creepier there lol Let's be honest, I think it's clear by now it's impossible to recreate Ito's artstyle, it just works a lot better on paper.

The one thing that annoyed me though is how they just... decided to stop some of the stories short? Like, I get some changes need to be made, but it almost seems like they looked at some of the stories and went 'pff who needs these last couple of pages? just throw them out'. So weird.

Anyway, some general (relatively spoiler-free) thoughts on each episode that no one cares about:

‘The Strange Hikizuri Siblings’: love how they started with some dark humor (for some definition of the word humor) to lead you into a false sense of security.

‘The Story of the Mysterious Tunnel’: meh, the original was better

‘Ice Cream Bus’: The ending fucked me up <3

‘Hanging Balloon’: a fascinating mixture of "this is so dumb" and "wait why is this also terrifying 😭", love the non-linear storytelling

‘Four x Four Walls’: another one that's more darkly humorous, it made me feel so claustrophobic jfc

‘The Sandman’s Lair’: oh look, another one that fucked me up <3

‘Intruder’: I find this one weirdly fascinating, kinda would love to know more about wtf actually happened

‘Long Hair in the Attic’: the one that made me regret watching this show, I am officially traumatized <3

‘Mold’: you could not pay me to stay in that fucking house, goodBYE sir

‘Library Vision’: again, not a super fan of the changes, but it's still pretty good. And creepy.

‘Tomb Town’: I really like this one for some reason, but the animation in that scene at the well was... questionable. And the original ending is MUCH better (imo)

‘Layers of Terror’: Oh, my mistake. NOW I'm traumatized for life <3 fuck this show why did I start watching this 😭

‘The Thing that Drifted Ashore’: my least favourite, by far. And I'm sorry, but it looked... bad. Like, really bad 😕

‘Tomie – Photo’: also titled 'the girl who can't stop making terrible decisions' jeez

‘Unendurable Labyrinth’: meh

‘The Bully’: I also really like this one and it's also disturbing as all hell <3

‘Alley’: karma is a bitch huh

‘Headless Statue’: girl for the love of god why tf would you follow his shady ass and why would you not jump out of the nearest window when given the chance 😭

‘Whispering Woman’: another one I really like, and I find it weirdly nice in a super disturbing way lol

‘Soichi’s Beloved Pet’: we stan a guy who's super passionate about animals, we don't stan a guy who fucks up a perfectly good kitty 😭
