The screen was filled with the pure and simple act of drawing, and all the emotions, including joy, pain, and clumsiness, made this a wonderful film that reminded me of the feelings I had long since forgotten.
I was shocked! This softness, this gentleness, this strength! A richness of expression and sensibility that surpasses even live action!
I was shocked at the present and future of entertainment! Anime is great. I immediately bought the original manga and “looked back” to Tatsuki Fujimoto.
The tornado of emotions that anyone trying to create something would surely experience, as well as the terrible injustice that cannot be reversed no matter how much you think about “what ifs,” are all present and, in fact, are packed into the film with even more power.
It was definitely a “Look Back.” Applause to all the cast and staff!!
