I read it and i think it's very adaptable. It has just enough content to be made into a full movie but it' so subtly complex and melancholic that i think you would need a director and team that worked on something like Koe no Katachi to do it justice.

goodbye eri works incredible in manga format but I think it will be hard to pull that off in a movie

I mean, Fujimoto practically already drawn the storyboards for Goodbye Eri with the way the manga is laid out. I think we will get a movie at some point, seeing as how positive the reviews from the premier today were in Japan

Look Back getting an anime adaptation, and it's in movie form too just like how it should be experienced. The possibility of Goodbye Eri (even though i never read it) is around the corner right now, but I don't know how they will do it because in my perspective and from what I've seen on YouTube and the manga panels, found footage genre is pretty hard to animate. I'm not talking about "just edit it to make the entire thing shaking", I'm talking about making it like The Blair Witch Project. But i think it's still a possibility because a lot of it were in a still shot, like recording yourself with a tripod type of thing, but who knows

i honestly think that manga relies so much on panelling that it wouldnt make a good movie, which is ironic because its framed in 16:9 letterbox panels, and theirs many panels where nothing changes as if to simulate awkward pauses. as a "movie" goodbye eri would be about 14 minutes long, thats how much the manga paces itself out with repeat panels where little is changed, which looks great for a manga and was very experimental and made it feel like video, but it wouldnt have the same effect on screen

also, in my opinion, even if the story is the same, and have followed the manga format, it does takes away the impact that the manga have and we're basically experiencing the same thing to what we have when reading the manga. This is why we need a Director, a good one even, who can make this the same story intact, but can have a whole entire experience that could captivate us like we're in the movie

its curious because look back is all about creating manga and goodbye eri is all about creating film, personally to make a decent run time and generate a lil more revenue i would have made them together and presented them as a double feature, maybe with the trailer of csm: bomb girl arc in the middle, like old pulp movie screenings, cinemas would probably eat that up too

while i never read Goodbye Eri, I'm also found a manga about creating movie called Umi ga Hashiru End Roll if you wanted something similar.

Adaptable, although it might need to add extra content to avoid the movie ending too quick.
Also it's very heavy on the subtle details rather than the story. so it require very good team to do the adaptation justice.
I think it can be very good movie though.

You want to know what would goodbye eri look like as a movie? watch perfect blue or paprika.

I'm actually amazed how good bye eri works as a manga. It would actually be really easy to adapt it, as long as you just follow it 1-1, since the framing and pace is already basically of a movie.

@Khushal_v Just trust me, and watch perfect blue. you can thank me later. Paprika would work too, but it's not as good of a movie so I suggest perfect blue above it.

This. I don't think it'll be difficult to make something, but it will be difficult to make it as impactful as the manga is.

The most memorable thing about the manga for me is how it depicts and mimics what watching a movie feels like. On the page. How the panels play out in "real time." How they show nothing in particular and we just hear the dialogue. How the scenes start and end and cut to the next scene.

If a manga that feels like a movie is turned into a movie, it's probably left with less, not more.

But I'm not a director, so who knows what they can come up with to replicate that feeling in movie form.
