The episode premieres with a heavy black and white aesthetic that instantly nails Junji Ito’s unsettling tone. Shuichi’s father becomes obsessed with spirals, and the imagery slowly creeps into everyday life. The slow pacing and warped visuals are a cinematic treat.

finally a Junji Ito adaptation that actually gets it. the black and white animation is stunning and Kirie and Shuichi's town already feels deeply wrong from the jump. Shuichi's dad's spiral obsession alone is nightmare fuel. pacing is a bit rushed but the dread is real 🌀
