Tonight on GeekNights, we review Look Back. Directed by Kiyotaka Oshiyama and based on Tatsuki Fujimoto's manga of the same title. You may know Tatsuki Fujimoto from Goodbye Eri and Chainsaw Man. In the news, Rym's flight home from Singapore has its own wikipedia page, Anno is producing a new Space Battleship Yamato film, and the Uzumaki anime has some drama.
The episode was up on Patreon and Youtube the day we recorded. But we web site hiccup delayed posting it here 
I love reading Tatsuki Fujimoto’s work and highly reccommend his short story collections. But 2/3 through it, I had to put down Fire Punch and stop reading it for a little while just because of how incredibly fucking bleak it is. Gods was that depressing to read. However, something I saw as fairly consistent throughout Fujimoto’s works was that his stories probaably aren’t going where you think they are, and it’s going to be weirder than you expected by the end. So, I should probably toughen up and power through the last third of the goddamn Fire Punch manga.
I read all of Fire Punch. It is really bleak, but overall I found it the weakest of Fujimoto’s work. Very forgettable.
Good to know. Because that story is like an exercise in pain. Which, I guess, is the point?
Nice.
Everyone should see it!
