The Look Back anime movie is coming to streaming soon. If you missed the chance to watch it in theaters, you can catch it on Amazon’s Prime Video, which will exclusively stream the film worldwide, when it arrives on November 7.
The announcement comes less than a month after Look Back‘s North American premiere on October 4. The movie, an adaptation of a one-shot by Chainsaw Man‘s Tatsuki Fujimoto, was released in Japan on June 28 JST and was also screened in other countries like Malaysia and Singapore.
GKIDS describes the film, which was part of Annecy Festival 2024’s Annecy Presents selection lineup, as:
Popular, outgoing Fujino is celebrated by her classmates for her funny comics in the class newspaper. One day, her teacher asks her to share the space with Kyomoto, a truant recluse whose beautiful artwork sparks a competitive fervor in Fujino. What starts as jealousy transforms when Fujino realizes their shared passion for drawing.
Based on the acclaimed manga by Tatsuki Fujimoto, the creator of “Chainsaw Man”, Look Back captures the highs and lows of pursuing artistic excellence and the special bonds formed through creative collaboration. The heart-wrenching story is the stunning feature-length directorial debut from Kiyotaka Oshiyama that will leave you in tears and inspire you to chase your own artistic dreams.
If you’ve already watched the film and can’t get its moving story and powerful animation out your head, our AniTrendz Online Store is currently taking pre-orders for official Look Back items (United States customers only).
The Shueisha-published one-shot was released in July 2021 and can be found in English on Manga Plus.
