This oneshot is just awesome. Fujimoto managed to tell the story of his life through those two girls and even make a tribute for the KyoAni incident. It would be damn poetic if that animation studio adapts it into anime.
It's a little too short for that, but I think it would be interesting for them to show it off at a animation festival or an event to celebrate the studio's past-
@@boxtoprock8020 I think it would still be possible to make it a movie, especially since the author likes long quiet moments for a characters to reflect on themselves. Which could lead to beautiful segments of music and animation, especially in that huge manga spread with the rain.
@@whoplays7061 a movie is typically an hour to an hour and a half while a short is 20-40 minutes, I think that stretching out the silence would kind of ruin the story and the feeling of the piece as well as would bore audiences as just watching characters sit around and think or sob in a pose wouldn't be that visually intriguing
He did a happy manga, where a boy confesses love to a girl and it stops him from getting mugged, and an alien invasion I realized the irony of my profile picture as I wrote this
i dont think you can use the "best" label on any of his works, thats why to me chansaw man is his most complete, fire punch is his most honest, kou ha momouku his most wacky, etc
Just the more personal imo. Like the last comment, you can't truly use the word "best". To me...this one was the most impactful since I questioned myself the reason I was painting, the reason I was putting effort on a manga, etc. Chainsaw man made me realised what relationships meant to me, and fire punch teach me life in general. That's why I love Fujimoto
I had the bright idea to read Look Back immediately after finishing Fire Punch, I thought it would help deal with the pain of the ending ( or better said the whole manga). Now I think I have depression.
This story always bring me to tears. Fujimito's is f genius. And When she realise the difference of skill was defined by big amount of practice without saying anything that something special
Idk if this is a hot take, but I think this is clearly a soul mate relationship. While never directly said by either, the amount of love they exhibit for each other is so damn cute and lovely. It makes the ending even more horrific
@@theoriginalman9426 lol yeah I prefer to think it's platonic because I think it makes their relationship more beautiful and tragic (to me at least I know other people might not think so) plus romantic relationships are so overdone

@@kyxzlx3306 yesssss, i think way more people would read his manga then, because like im used to weird shit, but there are other people that are just seeing a burning dude and try to read way too much into it and are sooo confused why he even burns when hes under water n stuff.. Like its stupid that people try to make sense of it, but till now i really havent heard anyone ask about logical things in this Manga that much
Just watched the movie, and I just have to come back to this video, since this is the one that made me decide to read the manga few years ago. Also thank god I already read the manga, otherwise I would've fucking bawled my eyes out in the theater
Thank you for focusing on the 'good'. This story is gorgeous and up there with my favourite *anything* out of manga/anime...but people focus too much on the sadness of this (& similar) stories. Tragedy is sometimes beautiful ,but NOT simply because it's tragic. When grieving, it's always important to occasionally just..."Look Back" at the 'good' ♥
When I saw the art of this drawing. It made me think of Tatsuki Fujimoto. And when I tried searching him in MAL and saw that it was one of his works. I quickly read the piece. I teared up
The first time i knew this oneshot is when I saw the review of a channel specializing in anime. It sounded good, so I decided to read it online, because I was so fascinated to this oneshot so I ordered it online, i don't have interested in comic or manga, but this is exception . This oneshot is very good and meaningful. Feelings, moods and story situations are somewhat similar to me, so it easy to sympathize with, accidental this oneshot came to me when I was having a hard time with my spiritual life. Can it also be considered fate? When I finished reading this oneshot, I watch the video your on CZcams recommendation coincident , and i must say it is awesome,, the music in the video is true to the feeling that the story gives me, it also makes me know a good song too. Every time I'm tired or sad, just listening to music and watching this video, I feel vague with incredible peace. Your video is good and awesome. Thank you for making this masterpiece video ^^
For some reason I watched this thinking that a very bad thing wold happen in the end, I'm glad that was just a cute video (it actually has a sad ending don't it?)
I clicked this video because I wanted to figure out what this manga was, but everyone is the comments is talking about how sad it is and now I'm scared to read it 🙃

The only way i regonize if its fujimotos work is by there eyes because to me there all the same in everyone of his works, which i personaly love.
yeah! i love his art style too
The facial structures definitely feel unique in fujimoto's works
for me, its the mouths of the people with weird expressions lmao
@@RenderingUser Same they're always open mouthed and show teeth
For me, it's the overall facial expressions and believe it or not, sweats
Why can't Fujimoto just make a f*cking a happy manga and why do I keep reading them even though it's so painful?
He did a happy manga, where a boy confesses love to a girl and it stops him from getting mugged, and an alien invasion

I only know about csm and fp.
Thanks

I love his art style too! seems like a rough sketch but looks so good :)
aside from his distinct style of storytelling i think his art is what is appealing to me
i think im inlove with fujimotos works in the most romantic way possible
I tried reading the manga while listening to this song, damn I've never been this sad in my life

i fucking love fujimoto and his mangas
I actually cant watch this without crying now...Damn you Fujimoto and your amazing writing!
I enjoyed Goodbye, Eri way more than I did Look Back, but it's still top tier work
it's the opposite for me :0 but yeah fujimoto-dan works are great!
Can't wait until June to see this in movie form
i love the melody of this song, i listen to it over and over, it speaks to my dream, thank you

good luck buddy!
fujimoto is a genius when it comes to creative projects; however, he is kinda weird…

Desperately needs to be adapted to a movie or something, it’s genuinely amazing. Goodbye, Eri too!!!

These characters give me Kobeni & Reze vibes
this just makes me really sad, wow..
This is honestly so well edited 😢 great job 10/10 would cry again
I really like the vibe of his work ❤️❤️
this is one of those stories that when they get adapted they exceed all genres in animation, art, soundtrack and voice acting
Every fujimoto story ending: looking quite happy there partner! shame if something tragic happened🤭
For some reason I watched this thinking that a very bad thing wold happen in the end, I'm glad that was just a cute video (it actually has a sad ending don't it?)
yes! the ending is tragic and I didn't want to include it ahahah :)
This edit makes me happy and sad at the same time. Really amazing manga, Fujimoto is a legend.
