2024-11-12 11:03:17 +0000 UTCUnfortunately, this movie does in fact reference a real life story. This one psycho believed his work was plagiarized by KyoAni (the studio that produced A Silent Voice and Violet Evergarden). He killed 36 people in an arson attack and injured many more. The arsonist received the death penalty earlier this year, so at least some justice was served. It's just unfortunate that he committed an atrocity against one of the only few studios that is known to treat their employees well :(

2024-11-11 10:51:19 +0000 UTCWent back and they straight up took panels from chainsaw and put them in. Straight up spoilers too for mext arc! Lol but without contect it didn't mean much to most but it's fun for the manga readers!

2024-11-11 06:49:34 +0000 UTCYeah there's definitely been if you know you know references in both this and Chainsaw Man and with Fujimoto and his works being as popular as they are right now there is definitely a solid chance it'll happen. I just hope it gets the same treatment Look Back did because this was an absolute visual experience that also did the writing complete justice and I'd want absolutely nothing less than that for Goodbye Eri. Being vague to avoid any kind of spoiler for anyone who hasn't read it but if the potential adaptation didn't make me "bawl my eyes out" and/or as successfully portray the value in perspective and film/fiction that the manga does I'd be beyond disappointed.

2024-11-11 06:11:52 +0000 UTCI always liked Goodbye Eri more and thought it hit more than Look Back but the emotions hit me hard in this adaptation, a goodbye eri adaptation on par with this would be Top 3 easy

2024-11-11 05:04:36 +0000 UTCI just noticed, Fujino is right handed while Kyomoto was left handed. Adds an extra touch to the two of them being one, one does backgrounds, one does characters, two halves of the author, their names as well, Fujino and Kyomoto forms "Fujimoto".

2024-11-11 04:54:32 +0000 UTCNow we just need to see "Goodbye Eri" adapted into a film!!! Almost all of Fujimoto's works are Goated

2024-11-11 03:01:42 +0000 UTCyup, also chainsaw man has the same scene with power walking away in the opening. so basically every single fujimoto anime adaptation so far has a goodbye eri reference lmao

2024-11-11 02:48:07 +0000 UTCI will always glaze fujimoto, he is my goat now we just need his other one shot saynora eri to get adapted. Still crazy his former assistants who also taught him stuff are creators of there own banger manga hells paradise, spy family, and dandadan. Still waiting for more CSM manga streams because that shit has been fire recently.

2024-11-11 01:51:53 +0000 UTCMy absolute favorite detail in this entire thing is the multiple meanings of the title, “Look Back”. The two most obvious are related to Kyomoto’s death, both the process at looking back at their friendship and the fact that the 4-koma that slips under the door to Fujino is titled “Look Back by Kyomoto”. But there are two additional meanings to that title. The first, is a simple reference hidden in plain sight. In the very first panel of the manga (the first scene in the classroom here) you can find the word “Don’t” in the top right corner. In the very last panel of the manga you find a book with the words “In anger” on it in the bottom left corner. You combine these and you get “Don’t Look Back in Anger”, the name of an Oasis song and a song that fits rather well with this story’s focus on moving past grief. The final is related to Kyomoto’s 4-koma that slipped under the door. After Fujino is inside her room and looking around she does what that manga title says and looks back, seeing the jacket she signed when they were kids. This is important because we saw a flashback where she told Kyomoto to “keep your eyes on my back and you’l grow too”. So Look Back here was also a message from Kyomoto to herself, so that anytime she was working alone and struggling she could look back to her door and see the signature of Fujino, the girl who inspired her to want to be better. This is a stunning adaptation of what I genuinely believe to be Fujimoto’s most flawless work. It’s such a beautifully simple narrative and the fact that he partially wrote it in response to the KyoAni arson attack makes the grief feel so genuine. There is none of his usual absurdity or humor, it’s just flawless character writing. I’m hoping that the future adaptation of Goodbye Eri, his other incredible one shot, is just as impressive.

2024-11-11 01:03:52 +0000 UTCi assumed the explosion in the movie was a callout to goodbye eri

2024-11-10 23:56:07 +0000 UTCThe true story this is based around is the kyoto animation arson attack. Someone claimed their work was plagiarized and set fire to the studio building

2024-11-10 23:48:41 +0000 UTCi would like to believe maybe the 4 panel she taped was blank and just served kind of as a symbol or reminder of how it all started. but great movie! i enjoyed it so much. the "why do you draw fujino?" and showing the flashbacks of their friendship and it ending on Kyomoto smiling is beautiful. i think a lot of creators can relate but i can also see it from Kyomotos POV where the world and people can be scary and even if something bad may happen as soon as we walk out the door, if you have something you love and that you want to pursue.. we just have to take that risk. 🥹

2024-11-10 23:17:05 +0000 UTCkiyotaka oshiyama is an absolute MADMAN director, he has so many cuts on this movie that are just insane

2024-11-10 22:50:44 +0000 UTCAbsolutely amazing film in every way. Here's hoping Tatsuki Fujimoto's other big one shot gets the same film treatment with "Goodbye Eri" it's in my opinion his best work and absolutely tore my heart out in both good a rough ways.
