Tatsuki Fujimoto, the manga artist, is well known for works like Chainsaw Man, Fire Punch, and Look Back. Reflecting on the adaptation, Fujimoto shared:
Having my works from my student years being adapted into anime made me anxious, wondering if this was really okay, and if these works might have relied too heavily on others’ inspiration. However, although I haven’t seen them yet, I believe that through the work of talented directors, they have become proper, well-crafted pieces.
Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26 brings eight of Fujimoto’s early manga stories to life with top-tier animation and direction. From apocalyptic drama to supernatural thrillers, this anthology is building high anticipation among Chainsaw Man anime fans.
