4-episode mini-series to premiere next year on

Adult Swim posted a video on Thursday that features interviews with staff of the anime of Junji Ito 's Uzumaki horror manga. The subtitled video features interviews with Ito, director Hiroshi Nagahama , Shogakukan editor Sayuri Kinjo, and scriptwriter Aki Itami .

The four-episode mini-series will premiere on Toonami next year, before it will premiere in Japan. Hiroshi Nagahama ( Mushishi ) is directing the mini-series at Production I.G , and Colin Stetson (Hereditary) is composing the music.

The 1998-1999 manga follows the inhabitants of a town where strange occurrences related to a spiral shape began occurring one after another. Viz Media originally released the manga in three collected volumes from 2007-2008, and later released an omnibus edition.

The manga inspired a live-action horror film starring Eriko Hatsune and Fan Fhi in 2000.
