Look Back, the new movie based on work from Tatsuki Fujimoto, finally has a release date outside Japan, clearing up the biggest worry from fans. Given the success of Chainsaw Man , a new movie based on another manga from Tatsuki was always going to garner attention. It just so happens the next adaptation comes from a deeply emotional – and distinctly less gory – story.
So far, Look Back has garnered extremely positive reactions, and soon enough audiences around the world can get a look. The anime movie comes out Friday, October 4, 2024 in North America, with other territories presumably planned for around that date. This will be reassuring to those who’ve been tracking the film since it opened in Japan.
There was some concern that Look Back would only get a streaming release, since it’s not directly part of any major franchise. The global sensation LOOK BACK from Kiyotaka Oshiyama opens in North American theatres starting October 4. ✍️✨ Tickets coming soon.
