The initial selection included the following anime movies: Detective Conan: The Million-Dollar Pentagram, Give It All, and Sand Land.

Annecy’s announcement article also comes with the following synopsis for Look Back:

The overly confident Fujino and introverted Kyomoto couldn’t be more different. Their love of drawing manga is the one thing connecting these contrasting girls. However, one day something happens to them that shatters everything. A heart-wrenching and impactful story about growing up.

Separately, the Look Back X (formerly Twitter) account released six new stills from the film.

Look Back will premiere in Japan on June 28. The movie is based on the one-shot by Chainsaw Man‘s Tatsuki Fujimoto. which was released in July 2021.
