Funjino (Fuji) + Kyomoto (Moto) = Fujimoto, the Author of Chainsaw Man. You can tell large parts of this one shot come from Fujimoto's life. We can never know, but he might have known people at Kyoto Animation (Kyo in Kyomoto) who died when the studio was attacked by an Arsonist. Also, if you look at Fujimoto's art, you can see that while he isn't the best at drawing people, his background art is usually amazing. It makes you wonder if he wanted to go and pursue art as a Degree but didn't in order to continue making manga. The arguments Fujino gave Kyomoto about there not being any money or use in an Art Degree might have been words he was told himself, or thought about himself before he focused on manga over Fine Art.

2024-11-23 23:03:24 +0000 UTCand thats why we have billionaires and multi-millionaires ,most of those ppl are obsessed with their craft to an 'unhealthy' extent but its just how they live life,or that fire ass food you get at those restaurants that arent doing too well profit wise,pure obsession
Xavier Baker
2024-11-22 02:43:44 +0000 UTCI feel like Roshi fundamentally understands what obsession and dedication to one’s craft entails whereas Lupa doesn’t. There isn’t anything wrong with that though. Not everyone has a passion that would dedicate and sacrifice everything for however “unhealthy” that mindset is.

2024-11-19 01:59:42 +0000 UTCI dream of making my own comics and animation, and this movie really lit a fire in me. I hope it does the same for other artists.

HaNo0onat
2024-11-14 14:42:27 +0000 UTCI personally always like to interpret that alternate reality sequence as Fujino imagining what would've happened if she never got Kyomoto out of her room, which makes it hurt even more that she still met Kyomoto and started drawing again. It's almost like she can't even imagine a world where they don't meet and work together. I also feel like she always sort of held out hope that Kyomoto would come work with her again because why else would she keep using their duo name to publish her stuff

2024-11-14 06:37:50 +0000 UTCI didnt watch this yet since it got spoiled for me. But this story kind of reminds me of what happened to kyoani with the arsonist. Its really sad how innocent people lose their lives to stuff like this...
SmittyWerbenjägermanjensen
2024-11-14 04:44:44 +0000 UTCThis one shot fucked me up 😭. It made me think about my middle school friend back in 2001 that I would hangout with and draw characters and comics together after school and on the weekends, at each others houses. He and I grew apart after middle school after moving away to different schools, and I lost my passion for art as no one in my new school was as dope or into art as him like I was. I tried to look him up but he doesn’t do social media I found out. I say this that you should never give up on your passions, I’m going to the store to pick up some composition books, and try to reignite the spark I had when I was younger. Enjoy the little things.

2024-11-14 02:09:04 +0000 UTCFirst word you see in the manga is “don’t” written on a chalkboard, last words you see is the title “look back”. Idk if that was intentional or not, but knowing Fujimoto & how good his writing is… I’d guess so.

Didier
2024-11-13 02:43:22 +0000 UTCFor me, the most striking detail is that the story starts with Fujino drawing alone in a room and ends with Fujino drawing alone in a room. And everything that has happened in between just became a part of her now. Just like in real life.

2024-11-13 01:11:45 +0000 UTCI hope it gets animated as well, but highly recommend another of Fujimoto's one shots "Goodbye, Eri" If this was an ode to Manga and Mangakas Goodbye Eri handles the same with Movies and Film (which mean hopefully it should be an easy get for an aadaption)
MrOuijaII
2024-11-13 01:04:48 +0000 UTCI love how Fujino continued to use "Kyo Fujino" as the author name even after she stopped working with Kyomoto. Fujimoto knows how to write immensely sad and compelling stories. "Look Back", "Goodbye Eri", CSM are all so so sad but beautiful.

I hope you **all** watch Bakuman at some point as it's a really chill and beautifully written story, made by the authors of death note. It has practically the same story/theme & motivations as the first half of this movie just with romance added🙏🙏🙏

2024-11-12 23:56:12 +0000 UTCLook up the Kyoto Animation arson attack for more context. A man believed that someone at KyoAni had plagiarized his work and so he set fire to one of their buildings. The building had a single exit which was blocked by the fire and no sprinkler system, 36 were killed and 34 more injured. The perp was sentenced to death. Look Back was published two years later.
KomodoughDragon
2024-11-12 23:55:51 +0000 UTCIt was an arson attack at Kyoto Animation. This one shot was released on its anniversary.
Prime
2024-11-12 23:49:26 +0000 UTCFujino and Kyomoto represents the two halves of the author, Fujimoto, right handed Fujino draws characters and writes stories, left handed Kyomoto draws background art. I believe the art school massacre is based on a real event that happened a few years ago, it was an arson attack on Kyoto Animation where the suspect claimed they stole their art.

2024-11-12 23:33:02 +0000 UTCHonestly this is one of the greatest films i've ever seen in my life and as an artist, i can really connect with it. I'm so glad this film exists. I love creators, I love creating, and anyone who has made so much as a sandwich with their own hands will be moved. This is the type of art that will continue to impact people's lives far into the future. Glad you guys took the time to watch it. When i first read the oneshot back in 2021, i had to take a step back and just process the whole thing. More people need to tap in and i hope this films success sparks interest in a Goodbye Eri Film

King of New York
2024-11-12 23:25:57 +0000 UTCIf the art style looks familiar its fujimoto the same guy who does chainsaw man. Fun fact for some reason anyone who works as his assistant is blessed with talent as the creators of SpyXFamily, Dandadan, Hells Paradise, and Centuria were all former assistants. This is also a tribute to the tragic kyoto animation massacre where some lunatic set fire to Kyoto animation studio 1 killing 36 and leaving 33 injured. Kyoto animations anime are Silent voice, Violet Evergarden, K-on, Clannad, The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, Love, Chunibyo & Other Delusions, Miss Kobayashi dragon maid. RIP to all those who lost their lives in this senseless tragedy
