I recommend not knowing anything about the movie before watching it, if possible. It is a beautiful story about art and what is important in life. The main characters feel very real and complex. In such a short runtime they were able to capture the realities of two extremely different artists coming together and creating, and the impact they had on each other. Look Back has a lot to say about the choices we make, and how to open our eyes to see other people. If you need a warning about the potential content, I do recommend going online to find out. But try and ... avoid spoilers. The music and art are absolutely stunning, and the writing is nuanced.

Spoiler FREE, short review. This is one of the most underrated animes I have ever watched. I don't even like romance animes. This show is absolutely hilarious and I was completely invested in the characters. It is a great commentary on anime, romance, normalcy, and stereotypes. Some of the scenes are so funny I will never forget them, the show is GREAT. Particularly because some of the characters are so psychologically interesting, yet the show respects all the characters. Awesome show! I just wish there was more.
The show does a good job of breaking gender roles. It has a great opening theme song. Throughout the ... anime, I was left trying to figure out what these characters are thinking. There are only some characters that we know exactly how they feel, and others we are left almost completely guessing. I usually prefer sub to dub, but this show has one of the best English dubs I have EVER seen, it is so funny. A lot of the progress in between the comedy is so subtle, yet very effective in changing the dynamics of the story. I think anyone could have a fun time with this show, unless you don't like comedy at all. Its animation is also very well done, and despite the art style being silly, the art is perfect for this type of show. I really want to give my compliments to this show.
