All the fire punch footage comes from this banger:
The Goodbye, Eri footage is from this amazing video:
I’m diving deep into the wild, chaotic, bizarrely brilliant anthology that adapts all eight of Tatsuki Fujimoto’s one-shot stories created between ages 17 and 26 — before hits like Chainsaw Man, Fire Punch, Look Back & Goodbye, Eri. From post-apocalyptic alien invasions, relatable school crushes and matrix level bullet-catching, to weird romances with mermaids, gender-bender identity crisis, apocalyptic prophecies and siblings art-school drama — this anime throws you through every tone shift imaginable: absurd comedy, gut-punch drama, uncomfortable horror, and relatable emotions. In this video I break down why Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26 feels like watching the origin of Fujimoto’s insanity — the early sketches of the madness and emotional weight that would eventually make him a legend. If you want a chaotic, honest, no-BS review of the anime anthology — covering both the brilliance and the questionable WTF energy — you’re in for a ride.
