Absolutely fantastic movie, they did a great job at bringing the source to life.
The rough style seemed very fitting and I enjoyed the performances from the two leads.
And the music.
[](#justright)
Even though personally I am far from an artist or writer I love stories about the creative process and Look Back is definitely among my favourite movies about the topic now.
The atmosphere at the theater enhanced the experience too. The silence when Fujino was in Kyomoto’s house was deafening minus the odd sob from somewhere across the room.
I’m dying to see this again, I hope we’ll get a 4k disc release.
Went into this almost completely blind, all I knew was it was about manga, about kids, and by the Chainsaw Man mangaka.
The first couple minutes I was like, huh this is cool, neat use of the art style. From the moment Kyomoto came out of the house and called “Fujino-sensei!” I was absolutely hooked. Really great use of the anime medium to show characters emotions through the animation as well as backgrounds. Super simple story that’s really well told.
I’m not sure if it’s exclusive to certain theatres/regions, but there was a cool interview feature after the movie with the director and the main actors, and of course all the lame nerds stuck around for it. Was cool hearing the director talk about bringing his own vision and trying to justify making an animated adaptation of a relatively motionless manga. And also how they said Kyomoto’s voice actor didn’t need to overdo the acting because she had a perfect voice for a shut-in, and the VA didn’t know if that was a compliment or not, that got a laugh out of my theater.
Finally a thread
You could tell it was Fujimoto from the very beginning, even Fujinos 4 Koma where inherently weird and sometimes fucked up [](#everythingisfine)
The sudden turn fucked me up though, and I was glad that the showing included some interviews (which where really interesting btw) so I could collect myself again and wipe away the tears… [](#wipetears)
OST was also phenomenal, I would link it, but it’s been set to Youtube Premium only sometime after the Japanese release [](#sagiri)
I loved it but [Spoiler] >!man is it sad to think their last interaction was them fighting at least from what I can remember. That would be hard to live with.!<
