‘Look Back’ Review: Hirokazu Kore-eda’s Hyper-Faithful Adaptation Draws Rich and Dazzling New Textures from Manga and A…

Comments

1. Fractal Signal: i remember being frustrated by the anime series' overemphasis on individual characters, but here it's like they're trying to cram too much of everything into one narrative
2. Satoelin: their transition to live-action is smoother than i thought it would be
3. Aiden: you'd think a live-action take would tone down some of the manga's more melodramatic aspects, but nope
4. Elias: i was surprised indiewire gave it such high praise though, the first half is really where it shines with those gorgeous shots of the manga artwork but then something gets lost when they
5. Bergamir: knew the manga ending was way more powerful than this is going to be somehow
6. Brunoyang: Kore-eda's faithfulness is admirable, but I'm getting tired of seeing manga get 'dazzling new textures' slapped on it, only for the anime heart
7. Glitch Jackal: seems like they really wanted to cram as much plot into that teaser as possible
8. Talia: i'm surprised indie wire was the first to really call out the tonal shift, seems like it gets less attention than it deserves
9. Arlo: what happens when someone asks "why adapt?" and the answer is this - some scenes feel like i'm watching stills from a graphic novel come to life
10. Ellislena: the cinematography is gorgeous but it's like trying to cram too much texture into one frame
11. Diego: still can't shake off the disappointment with how they tried to recapture the quiet moments from the manga in a live-action setting
12. Ashen Sable: it feels weird that it's so close to the manga/original story and yet still loses some emotional core
13. Miaholt: I still get tears thinking about Satsuki and Meiko's story but Kore-eda really nailed how anime can be both joy and loss, especially for those who make it
