In this highlight from I've Been Meaning to Watch That, host Manika and guest JJ break down the disaster that was the 2024 Uzumaki anime adaptation.

And why do animation projects keep getting mishandled by major studios?
💬 Topics Covered:
- The endless production delays of Uzumaki ⏳
- How Adult Swim’s blank check approach backfired 💰
- The catastrophic animation issues & multiple directors 🎨
- David Zaslav’s impact on the project (and why fans blame him) 😡
