For decades, Junji Ito has been considered the gold standard for horror manga. The Stephen King of the genre, the Japanese illustrator weaves terrifying tales with horrifically mesmerizing art, and the anime adaptation of his legendary Uzumaki series releases on Blu-ray September 9 in two different editions, including the Limited Edition Steelbook shown below.
Priced at $35, this edition of the anime comes in an eye-catching steelbook case that perfectly capture’s Ito’s art and the terrifying power of spirals. Uzumaki is also getting a standard edition Blu-ray for $20.
Uzumaki Limited Edition Steelbook (Blu-ray)
$35 | Releases September 9
The steelbook cover is hypnotic, and inside, you’ll find portraits of the characters Shuichi Saito and Kirie Goshima inside.
The anime adaptation isn’t too long–it has a total runtime of 96 minutes across four episodes–but you are getting bonus materials like trailers, promotional videos, and an art gallery.
As of July 21, Amazon hasn’t started taking preorders, but there is a store page.
Uzumaki Standard Edition (Blu-ray)
$20 | Releases September 9
The standard edition comes with a regular plastic case and a cardboard sleeve. It includes the same on-disc bonus content as the Limited Edition Steelbook.
Amazon hasn’t opened preorders just yet, but we expect it to be available soon.
