The latest episode of Uzumaki takes a surprising turn with improved graphics and a tighter narrative. Episode three combines elements from various chapters, delivering a mix of body horror and intriguing storylines. Kirie’s recovery in the hospital sets the stage for some chilling moments, including a vampire-like twist with pregnant women feasting on blood. The “Umbilical Cord” story adds to the horror with grotesque imagery, although some nudity could have enhanced the impact of the scenes. The animation limitations are evident in later parts of the episode, but overall, the episode sets the series on a better path for a potentially satisfying conclusion. With a new episode director at the helm, Uzumaki seems to be realigning itself for a more engaging narrative. Viewers can expect more twists and turns as the series progresses. Uzumaki is currently airing on Adult Swim and is available for streaming on Max.
