The anime film “Look Back” is shining at the Japanese box office, grossing nearly 1 billion yen (990 million) with an audience of 580,000 viewers!
Produced by Studio Durian and directed by the talented Kiyotaka Oshiyama, “Look Back” is based on the touching dramatic one-shot by Tatsuki Fujimoto , creator of “Chainsaw Man.” The narrative follows the lives of two small-town girls 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 captured 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 delivered a faithful adaptation of Fujimoto's work, cementing "Look Back" as one of the year's most impactful releases.
This box office success is a testament to how well-told stories can resonate with audiences. Therefore, in a recent interview, director Hideo Kojima praised the film's performance.
“I was deeply moved! The tenderness, the kindness, the strength! Such rich expressions and sensitivity, surpassing even a live-action film!”
