Since its premiere on June 10, 2024, the anime film "Look Back" has received universal praise from fans and critics alike. Now, Tatsuki Fujimoto, the creator of "Chainsaw Man," joins the chorus of praise for the film adaptation of his work. According to Japanese news site Oricon, Fujimoto cried tears of joy when he saw the animated adaptation of Look Back.
«There's an expression like 'bringing the characters to life,' and that's absolutely true," Fujimoto said. "I felt as if I was seeing through a camera the world in which Fujino and Kyomoto live. The animation and the voice actors' performances were so natural and wonderful. I cried, thinking that maybe never again in my life will I have my work created with such sincerity."
Fujimoto is not the only one who has expressed his high regard for the anime film "Look Back." A PR representative for the film told Oricon that the reception has been overwhelmingly positive. "On social media, we've been inundated with rave reviews, with people saying things like, 'I couldn't stop crying during the entire screening, and I still cry when I think about it,' 'The pinnacle of modern animation,' 'There's not a single second of a scene that's wasted,' 'The respect for the source material is incredible,' and 'The story is the reason a movie was made'And word of mouth continues to spread.'
Fujimoto's ability to create deep and emotionally resonant stories has cemented his place as one of the most influential authors of his generation. His ability to combine elements of horror, action, and drama in his narratives has captured the attention of readers around the world.
The film is described as follows:
- Ayumu Fujino, a fourth-grader, regularly draws four-panel manga for the school newspaper and is lauded for having the best art in her class. One day, her teacher asks her to give up one of her manga slots in the school newspaper to an absent student named Kyomoto. When Kyoto's manga appears alongside Fujino's, it receives high praise for its detailed art, which makes Fujino feel furious envy.
- Refusing to be outdone by someone barely attending school, Fujino dedicates herself to learning how to create manga. Over time, his goal of surpassing Kyomoto seems to be getting further and further away, and Fujino, now in sixth grade, finally gives up and stops doing manga. The day of graduation arrives and Fujino is asked to hand over Kyomoto's graduation certificate. By chance, the two end up coming face-to-face, and their unexpected encounter will have consequences far beyond what either of them could have predicted
