Read full review on AniList →In a mere 58 minutes, Look Back captures the soul and reasons behind artists. The love and care put into this film is insurmountable. The culmination of Tatsuki Fujimoto's heartfelt manga, Kiyotaka Oshiyama's amazing direction, Haruka Nakamura's moving soundtrack, and the work of everyone from Studi…
Read full review on AniList →I held this off for awhile because I was depressed about missing it in theaters. I had everything planned, but unfortunately life had other plans. That said, it led me to ponder something after finally watching it. I don't usually write reviews, and I don't believe this properly is formatted as one,…
Read full review on AniList →~~~ #__A Short Film for the Ages__ I say this with every fiber of my being, this will go down as one of the most beautiful and perfectly crafted short films in the history of the medium. This is how you do any adaptation. I already loved and was completely moved by Fujimoto's original one-shot when…
Read full review on AniList →First, I'll talk about the movie itself before diving into some personal themes and feelings I had. The animation was stunning—it felt like they ripped the manga straight off the pages and filled in the frames between the panels. There are so many gorgeous scenes that could easily be wallpapers; it…
Read full review on AniList →En 2021, cuando salió el one-shot original de Look Back, acababa de terminar mi grado universitario. Había subido mi TFG, había hecho la graduación y por fin tenía mi diploma en "creación y desarrollo de videojuegos". Con una palmadita en la espalda, me preparé para en unos tres meses entrar en una…
Read full review on AniList →spoilers Welp, that's 2 for 2 on Fujimoto anime adaptations that are comparatively more disappointing than their manga counterparts. I'll just be 100% honest when I say I do not get the hype around this film, and it suffers in many more ways than the Chainsaw Man anime (which still has it's own p…
Read full review on AniList →Making art is a way for people to express themselves for any number of reasons, such as exploring their own cultures, lives, or personal thoughts, among many other things to explore. It can be done through many different ways, such as drawing, and you can create whatever you want as only your imagin…
Read full review on AniList →Watching *Look Back* was an experience that opened my heart to the dimension of the human soul. This work describes the human dimension, human behaviors, emotions, expressions, reactions, reflections, ambitions, shyness, insecurities, and negative emotions in an exquisite way. Fujimoto's work in thi…

Read full review on AniList →When artists write an internal analysis of their own field, through the same art form, we expect it to be good. When writers write about what it takes to write, or manga artists make a manga about what it takes to make manga, it better be the great. Otherwise, what right do they have to tell this st…

Full credit to the director, Kiyotaka Oshiyama, Amazing job. The film is just amazing whether it's the voice, acting, animation, or background art. Despite its short run time…
Read full review on AniList →I looked back. I looked back at look back, this time with idk, a new perspective, a new spin on things, maybe another set of expectations. Something like that. It still isn't my favorite movie. But it got quite some stuff to relate or atleast feel into. I did something interesting this time even, I…
Read full review on AniList →O Fujimoto talvez seja muito conhecido e apreciado pelas bizarrices que ele desenha. Chainsaw man e Fire Punch são lotados de cenas e mais cenas de ação bizarras, com muita violência que é até cartunesco. Mas ele também é um autor que sabe muito bem criar peso em momentos mais cotidianos de seus per…

Read full review on AniList →_Spoilers a seguir._ Tatsuki Fujimoto é provavelmente o meu mangaká favorito por diversos motivos, mas acho que o motivo do qual eu quero focar aqui é que eu me vejo nele em várias facetas. Isso não é de modo literal, até porque eu não o conheço e nunca vou, mas a minha forma principal de me envolv…

Read full review on AniList →Back in 2024, when this movie was released, it seemed like everyone around me was obsessed with this movie. Usually, I like to wait at least 6 months to a year after something releases before I watch it because the hype in the moment tends to overwhelm me. And so, at last, I watched this movie. It…
