Who are The Characters In Adult Swim’s Uzumaki Miniseries?
The story of uzumaki is very contained, specific and focused. It is mainly focused on only a few characters which will be quite obvious as it will contain only a total of four episodes. But still we have so much to discuss about its few yet main characters who will blow your mind by their character play and role segments.
At the center of this amazing anime story, there are two characters named Kirie Goshima (Uki Satake) and Shuichi Saito (Shinichiro Miki). These two are the pair of two average characters who started struggling with some strange, spiral-themed curses that befall their small town named Kurouzu-cho.As the main protagonist of the story, these two fill in as guides down the winding and frightening way that is “Uzumaki.”
In any case, these two would not be anything on the off chance that they didn’t have different characters to play off of. Kurouzu-cho brings substantially more to the table than only two understudies.
From Kirie’s dad (Toshio Furukawa), to Shuichi’s folks (Takashi Matsuyama and Mika Doi as mother and father, individually), and some more, “Uzumaki” brings a profound plunge into the repulsions that happen to this little Japanese town.
Adult Swim’s Uzumaki Miniseries: What Will Be Its Story?
The anime adaptation Uzumaki will follow the same storyline as stated in the manga of the same series. The anime will mainly focus on the series of strange events going to take place in the small japanese town named Kurouzo-cho.
And at the same time, the main characters of the series that are two average high school students named Kirie and Shuichi, will become acutely aware of the spiral-theme curse.
As the story continues they will become aware that town people of Kurouzo-cho starts becoming increasingly focused on spirals and as the time passes on furthermore, they even start suffering with the effects of the curses themselves.
The frightfulness and the thrill of this situation come from the battle between normal individuals and powerful and supernatural forces that appear outside their ability to control.
The twisting condemnation of Kurouzo-Cho is totally puzzling and mysterious, and the dread becomes tangible as watchers will observe the saint’s attempt to sort out something which they can’t understand truly.
Sadly, regardless of whether these two endure the revile and get away from impacts, an inquiry will stay unanswered until “Uzumaki” releases in October.
