Tatsuki Fujimoto’s Look Back anime film grabbed quite a few eyeballs. It received praise from both Japanese and international audiences, which might have been the boost that Chainsaw Man needed for its upcoming film.
Along with a promising plot, the new film is being animated by MAPPA, a name that already ensures awesome animation quality and style. If season 1 of Chainsaw Man is anything to go by, the Reze arc movie will shake up the anime world and help Tatsuki Fujimoto reach greater heights.
Look Back paved the way for a Chainsaw Man movie
Tatsuki Fujimoto‘s Look Back film premiered in June 2024 and became one of the most acclaimed movies of the year. It won the Animation of the Year award at the Tokyo Anime Award Festival and was nominated at the Annie Awards, though Flow took the award home.
The movie’s depth and emotional weightage have been appreciated by many. While Fujimoto is known for his Shonen manga Chainsaw Man, he made a name for himself in the independent anime film department with Look Back. Its plot is seemingly simple yet hauntingly beautiful, making one reach into their thoughts.
The movie was adapted from Fujimoto’s one-shot manga, and the resulting anime film grabbed the attention of anime movie fanatics. The worldwide success of the movie might have been the impetus that Chainsaw Man needed all along to release its own film. After all, it is the most well-known series from the author which definitely deserved its own movie.
Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc is all set to bring out the best of Tatsuki Fujimoto
After the highly successful release of Chainsaw Man season 1, MAPPA has taken responsibility for the upcoming Chainsaw Man movie as well. The film will be released sometime in 2025, and the anticipation for it is at an all-time high. It has also revealed two official trailers that are bound to capture the franchise’s fans.
The film is all set to adapt the Bomb Girl arc of the manga, which is also one of the most tantalizing yet haunting arcs of the entire story. In it, Denji meets a woman who is finally interested in him. Being love-starved for his whole life, Denji will melt in the advances of the alluring woman. However, soon, he will face the biggest foe of his life who will threaten his feelings.
MAPPA has already shown its prowess in the movie department with works like Jujutsu Kaisen 0, Maboroshi, and In This Corner of the World. Thus, the anime world is ripe for the taking with Chainsaw Man – The Movie: Reze Arc. Fujimoto has already established his expertise in the film department with Look Back, and coupled with MAPPA’s awesome animation, the upcoming film is set to break the Internet.
The Chainsaw Man anime is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
