Adult Swim has ed a new trailer for Uzumaki, focusing on the titular spirals cursing Kuruozu-cho. The show will start on September 28, 2024.

You can watch the official Uzumaki trailer here:

It’s shorter than the first trailer that appeared at the 2023 San Diego Comic Con, which gave a lot more information about the story. This new trailer focuses on how horrific the spirals that are infecting, killing, and driving insane the hapless citizens of Kurouzu-cho are. Main characters like Kirie and Shuichi appear in the trailer as well. If you’re in the States, then you can watch Uzumaki on Toonami and it’ll start streaming the next day on Max.

Uzumaki by Junji Ito originally ran from 1998 to 1999. Compilations of the manga have appeared since then from various publishers. The story follows Kurouzu-cho, which falls victim to a curse involving spirals. English critics have been very positive of it, and it even received a nomination for an Eisner Award in 2003. The Japanese have been very fond of the manga as well. Even in the 2020s, there are still pop-up shops, merchandise, and collaborations with the series.

Uzumaki will have its Japanese premiere from September 28, 2024 on Toonami.

Aside from a show and a light novel series, KonoSuba is also a video game. This may not be a surprise, considering the amount of MMORPG tropes and references that are in the source material. A sequel to KonoSuba: Labyrinth Of Hope And The Gathering Adventurers is in development. The title will come out on the PlayStation 4 and Nintendo Switch.

KonoSuba season 3 and KonoSuba: An Explosion on This Wonderful World are in development. There is no news on when they will release. It is also unknown if they will air in the same anime season.
