Look Back is a 2024 anime movie by Tatsuki Fujimoto that expresses the struggles and excitement of being an artist. It is a film that excels in the overall direction of the animation which makes it one of the best anime movies of 2024.

While watching this film, I was confused at first because the opening of the story was different from the manga series that I’ve read but then later on realized that the first scene was a story drawn by the main character entitled “First Kiss”. As the story progresses, I was so invested in watching because  the visuals and/or art style of this anime movie is so good that it does a great job of bringing the manga to life. To make the story even better, the film used an appropriate sound track in each scene which adds impact on the pacing of the story. In fact, the film had a very believable voice acting which helped me to perceive the subtle emotions that the character feels. That being said, the film is a combination of serious and dramatic acts with a bit of comedic spice making it a non-boring movie to watch. As someone who is used to watching suspense and action films, a lighthearted tragic movie is a new experience and a sight to behold. Without a doubt, the storyline of this anime movie is top notch because every emotion expressed in each scene holds a certain degree of impact. In addition to analyzing the development or plot of the story, I kind of feel like the relationship of the two main characters is quite unique because they became friends and were able to understand each other through drawing manga stories. Though in later parts of the film, it was shown that the two separated and carved their own paths to take, which I felt a bit conflicted about the outcome of their friendship. As I continued watching the movie, I felt varying emotions as it nearing its end because the last scene from the movie was so tragic that it actually left me with a bitter feeling.

Needless to say, the film entitled “Look Back” is an animated movie that brings a roller coaster ride of emotions. It depicts how a person finds its way to move on after experiencing a tragic  and depressing situation. As the title suggests, one can only look back at the past and think of many “what if” possibilities to atone and reflect on their regrets. However, no matter how many times an individual looks back, the past behavior and  actions done cannot be reversed. Only by truly accepting the facts and moving on, one can truly be free from the past. Overall, the animated film is truly a work of art that depicts real life struggles and human experience. It encapsulates the idea and concept of friendship, hard work, to not give up, and to move on. In fact, watching this film made me realize that appreciating every little thing and enjoying every moment we have with our friends and family is essential to avoid having regrets.
