Although it is still unknown when it will arrive in the West, it is clear that one of the big anime films this year has been Look Back. After winning the hearts of Hideo Kojima, it was now the turn of the creator of the work, Tatsuki Fujimoto, who has given in to this adaptation.
In an interview with the Japanese media Oriconalso the mangaka of Chainsaw Man and Fire Punch He claimed to have cried profusely while watching the film, confirming that the adaptation of one of his most personal and intimate one-shots has been a roller coaster of emotions and a film on par with the original work.
“There’s an expression that says ‘bringing characters to life,’ and it’s absolutely true. I felt like I was looking through a camera at the world that Fujino and Kyomoto live in. The animation and the voice actors’ performances were so natural and wonderful. I cried, thinking that I may never again in my life have my work created with such sincerity.”
Although Chainsaw Man It is, for many, the best anime that MAPPA has made, it seems that Fujimoto is clear that Look Back It is the perfect adaptation of one of his works. This says a lot about the film, since it does not have the level of production of other films and, even so, it has managed to captivate the public.
Unfortunately, the film’s release outside of Japan is being resisted for a very simple reason: the film is only one hour long, which makes it difficult for many movie theaters to approve the film’s release, as it is too short a length for the investment.
