One of the greatest anime films of the decade, according to Hideo Kojima, has recently debuted in Japan with the full support of the anime community.
The manga written by Chainsaw Man creator Tatsuki Fujimoto is the basis for the new film Look Back. Even though the anime film has a completely different kind of plot from Chainsaw Man, its popularity has made it much anticipated.
Over the course of the Japanese launch weekend, Hideo Kojima, the creator of Death Stranding and Metal Gear Solid, snapped this photo and bragged about it on Twitter/X. Based on his words, it appears that we may be dealing with a small masterpiece.
- Origin: Look Back is based on the manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the creator of Chainsaw Man.
- Synopsis: The story follows two manga-obsessed schoolchildren, Ayumu and Kyomoto, who aspire to become mangakas. Their creative journey becomes intertwined with a local serial killer, adding a dark twist to this lightly supernatural tale.
- Kojima’s Praise: Hideo Kojima calls Look Back one of the most remarkable anime of the past decade. He was moved by its tenderness, kindness, and strength, praising its rich expressions and sensitivity, even surpassing live-action films. 🎬
The movie has already made a splash in Japan, opening to an impressive 245 million yen (over $1.5 million) at the box office. While we await its international release, let’s celebrate the magic of anime! 🌟📝
