Look Back

i watched this four times already i think its important for you to read up on the kyoto animations fire before watching this. it helps contextualize a lot of how fujimoto felt writing this, as well as understanding the repercussions it created on the industry and the culture as a whole. the pursuit of art is an arduous one. you may fuck up and you'll crumble pieces of paper onto a pile angrily. you'll look at old art youve made and look at it in shame and disgust. look back is a love letter to your feelings. understanding that no matter what you create, it'll resonate with someone. you'll look up to someone yourself with their work and pursue their footsteps. someone else will look up to you and pursue your footsteps. you'll look back and see it. and they'll look at your back and follow you to do the same too eventually. you're going to make something wonderful.
