The comment from the Director, Screenplay, and Character Design in charge Kiyotaka Oshiyama is also released:
Animators and animation directors approach their works in a similar way to manga artists, and when I read the manga, When I read the manga, I was deeply moved by the story, and I also resonated with Fujimoto-sensei, who came to draw “Look Back.” So I felt that I could make a film that I could honestly face as my own.
Kiyotaka Oshiyama
I am grateful to Fujimoto-sensei, a monster manga artist, who kindly lent me the original work, and I am aiming to create a film which is a little different from manga, thinking that there are things that I can draw because I am an artist who has been in the world of animation expression.
