Hideo Kojima’s latest movie proposal has just dropped – and it’s the new anime film, Look Back.
“Look Back is one of the most remarkable anime of the past decade. I’ve written reviews for it. The original work was also amazing,” he said. he tweeted. “I was touched to the core! The tenderness, the gentleness, the strength! Such rich expressions and sensitivity, surpassing even a live-action movie! I was moved by the present and the future of entertainment! Anime is truly incredible. I have already ordered Tatsuki Fujimoto’s original manga and can’t wait to ‘look back’ at it.
Based on Tatsuki Fujimoto’s manga series of the same name, Look Back follows Fujino and Kyomoto, two polar opposite young girls from the same small town who begin to forge a bond over their love of manga design. Fujimoto is also the mastermind behind the Chainsaw Man manga, which has been adapted into an anime series and is one of the best-selling manga titles of all time.
He co-wrote the screenplay with Kiyotaka Oshiyama, and Kiyotaka Oshiyama is in the director’s chair. Oshiyama previously worked on animation for films such as The First Slam Dunk and Mary and the Witch’s Flower, as well as Studio Ghibli titles including The Boy and the Heron, Arietty and The Wind Rises.
Elsewhere in His TwitterKojima shared a few other suggestions for movies coming out in the first half of 2024, including All of Us Strangers, Furiosa, and Past Lives, as well as True Detective: Night Country and Shogun as his favorite small-screen picks.
Look Back is out now in Japan, but the film doesn’t yet have a US or UK release date. While we wait for an update on that front, check out our guide to the rest of this year’s biggest new anime releases.
