One of Tatsuki Fujimoto works "Look Back" Wins 2025 Anime of the Year
The official website of the Tokyo Anime Award Festival (TAAF) announced the winners of their Anime of the Year Award for the year 2025 on January 31. Among the winning titles are 2023's breakout fantasy anime 2024's hard-hitting Look Back created by Tatsuki Fujimoto.
The awards are given to the "most outstanding" anime works that were broadcast, screened or streamed in the 2024 fiscal year (October 1, 2023 to September 30, 2024), with 100 works in contention during the selection process that are voted on by various professionals in the animation industry, while the "Fan Award" winner is selected by gathering votes from general users.
The TAAF Anime of the Year Award is chosen from a pool of 100 anime titles, 80 of which are TV anime and 20 of which are theatrical releases. Industry experts vote on the title they believe should win "Best Work" or a "Individual Award," while the title that receives the most votes from the general public wins the "Fan Award." Given the overwhelmingly positive reviews for the 58-minute film, the Studio Durian-produced anime adaptation of Tatsuki Fujimoto's Look Back is a worthy recipient of the "Best Work" award in the feature film category. Look Back made roughly 2.04 billion yen (13 million USD) at the domestic box office when it was released in Japan on June 28, 2024.
Look back won with the emotional impact it brought to the audience and how it was relatable to most of us who also have hoobies an seeing soemone like the same thing too.
It is a powerful and moving experience for viewers, especially those who are interested in art or coming-of-age stories. It tells a deeply emotional story about friendship and artistic creation, is beautifully animated with stunning visuals, and has a compelling narrative about two young artists navigating their passions and insecurities. All of this is wrapped up in a brief and impactful runtime.
