The anime film “Look Back” is shining at the Japanese box office, grossing almost 1 billion yen (990 million) with an audience of 580 thousand viewers!
Produced by Studio Durian and directed by the talented Kiyotaka Oshiyama, “Look Back” is based on the touching one-shot drama by Tatsuki Fujimoto , creator of “Chainsaw Man”. The narrative follows the lives of two girls from a small town who challenge and inspire each other in their quest to become manga artists. However, a tragic event changes their lives forever, adding intense emotional depth to the story.
The film not only won the hearts of anime fans, but also received critical acclaim for its stunning animation and captivating narrative. The collaboration between Studio Durian and Kiyotaka Oshiyama brought a faithful adaptation of Fujimoto's work, consolidating “Look Back” as one of the most impactful releases of the year.
This box office success is a testament to how well-told stories can resonate with audiences. Therefore, recently in an interview, director Hideo Kojima praised the film's performance.
“I was deeply shaken! The tenderness, the kindness, the strength! Such rich expressions and sensitivity, surpassing even a live-action film!”
