The anime behind Gyo was a 75 minute film from Ufotable studio that featured aquatic creatures stalking humanity on spindly legs, creating a terrifying scenario where sharks were chasing humans through their house. Uzumaki was created as a live action film from Omega Micott, taking Ito's insane designs and managing to bring them to real life through a combination of special effects and prosthetics.
