what do i even say? wow. i will forever associate Oasis' Don't Look Back in Anger with this movie. i didn't even know the original story was written by fujimoto, but the chainsaw man references sold me. there was also a moment in the movie where i thought kyomoto looked like rize for a second lol so it all connects. this was a sad movie, but since i went in expecting to cry, i did not cry. that happens sometimes. i always inflate my expectations for movies i know are sad. i resonated with the creative jealousy and competitiveness that fujino experiences after kyomoto starts publishing her manga strips. i mean, c'mon, as an artist, there's bound to be significant gaps in talent and skill between two people. this movie also made me feel bad for mangakas lol. all that constant work like that which fujino does while publishing her shark manga can't be good for you. i liked the animation a lot, and don't really got any other opinions to talk about. the film didn't make that solid of an impression on me 🤷🏻
