The official Twitter account for Uzumaki Anime released a statement on June 27 that the anime broadcast will be pushed ahead one more time.

The tweet says the production team for the anime and director Nagahama has asked for extra time to replicate the intricate designs of Junji Ito’s classic work perfectly.

The tweet also mentions that they want to make the series available for the audience soon. However, they don’t want the final product to be mediocre compared to Ito’s manga designs.

Here’s the official statement:
