After fucking up Uzumaki (episode 1 was great though), I think we need to give up the idea that we will ever get a good anime adaptation based off from Junji Ito's work.
I'll defend Uzumaki for the most part. Aside from like, a good chunk of episode 2 and that meme falling scene, I didn't think it got THAT bad and it still kept up a really creepy vibe to it, the acting was good, and I think the pacing honestly worked for it as it kept feeling more and more frantic and chaotic. I honestly enjoyed the product despite the rough animation at times.

Why tf is it so hard to adapt Junji Ito's work? Lol
A lot of his work relies way more on the incredibly intricate visuals over plot, and it's pretty hard to translate them faithfully. Uzumaki tried pretty hard, but clearly didn't have the time or budget needed for it and fell short on that front.
...but AI is definitely not the answer.
