Look Back is a movie based on Tatsuki Fujimoto’s one-shot.
It’s scheduled for June 2024.
Look Back is a deep coming-of-age drama.
There won’t be much Fujimoto-like craziness and action.
Look Back is an upcoming anime movie from Studio DURIAN, based on the one-shot manga of the same name written and illustrated by Tatsuki Fujimoto, who you might know as the author of Chainsaw Man and Fire Punch.
The movie is scheduled for Summer 2024 and will premiere in Japan on June 28. There haven’t been any details about the international release, but we expect it to happen in late 2024 ― early 2025.
What Is It About?
Look Back focuses on two manga artists, Fujino and Kyomoto (we see what you did there, Fujimoto). Fujino is an aspiring mangaka, the best in her class. She’s used to being number one.
One day she hears her classmates praise another artist, Kyomoto, and Fujino is furious. No one is allowed to be better than her, so she decides to focus on her art even more than ever.
But when she actually meets Kyomoto, Fujino realizes that there’s no need for hostility. They can be friends and try to work together to create the best manga ever.
What Can We Expect?
The main genre of the movie is drama, so you can definitely expect a lot of it. Look Back is a heartbreaking story that will make you think about life and its meaning, and cherish every day that’s left for you.
Although Look Back is written by Fujimoto, you shouldn’t expect the Chainsaw Man and Fire Punch level of craziness there. There won’t be demons or people burning alive, you won’t find any rape or incest there, no devilish villains like Makima will make an appearance.
And still, you will feel that Look Back is written by the same author. It leaves you with just the same empty and shocked feeling like every work of Fujimoto does. It’ll make you question your life choices and contemplate your decisions. Although it’s just a one-shot, it manages to deliver all the important messages in a short period of time.
You shouldn’t expect a lot of action from the movie, as it has nothing to do with fighting monsters and surviving. The only thing Look Back’s characters will fight is their own demons and insecurities. It’s a coming-of-age story that will take you to dark and depressing places.
Don’t let the peculiar art style of the trailers put you off. The movie will be so touching that you’ll forget about it during the first few minutes. And even though it’s just a speculation, we’re confident that Look Back will provide you with some heart-wrenching soundtracks that you’ll listen to on repeat after watching the movie.
Are you going to see the movie?
One thing is certain: you’ll need paper tissues.
