Uzumaki, the four-episode series in Junji Ito's personal saga, will be released as a new anime in 2024. However, this isn't the only thing we'll see from the author, as Sanrio has a collaboration with him, and Tomie will be adorned with various Hello Kitty figures thanks to this.
In fact, Sanrio revealed that there will be everything from t-shirts to bags and various keychains. It will be available in various pastel colors and also some in black and white. That's right, Hello Kitty is from the "Devil." Remember that the devil is in the details.
