For this edition of Saturday Anime Night, we’re finally returning to the much-beloved anime adaptation of Hirohiko Araki’s legendary manga, Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure, with episodes 13 through 18 of the fourth part, Diamond Is Unbreakable. Expect a whole bunch of muscley guys doing silly poses while fighting other muscley guys.

After that is Uzumaki (2024), the much-anticipated animated adaptation of Junji Ito’s much-acclaimed horror manga of the same name. A curse on a Japanese town compels everyone to start becoming obsessed with spirals, which start appearing everywhere in increasingly-gruesome fashion. A girl tries to escape from the town, but she has some difficulties as the townspeople’s collective psychosis grows more extreme. A whole bunch of different directors and studios worked on this, including some of the creative staff behind Mushi-Shi (2005), Trigun (1998), Rent-a-Girlfriend (2020), and Little Witch Academia (2017). Reviews are good. We will watch all four episodes tonight.

We’ll start 8PM EST on Hextube right here:
