"Chainsaw Man" Tatsuki Fujimoto's short story collection turned anime "Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26" to have its world premiere at the Global Stage Hollywood Film Festival

Discussing themes that resonated across the works, Producer Oyama expressed, "I love 'boy meets girl' stories, so I deeply resonated with the confession scene in 'Koi wa Moumoku.'" Director Takeuchi added, "I empathized with the somewhat one-sided way the protagonist, Ibuki, expresses his feelings."

Director Nagaya mentioned, "Fujimoto Tatsuki's works consistently feature the theme of 'communication with others,' which feels increasingly important in today's world where it has become more challenging."

Finally, Producer Oyama expressed gratitude, saying, "I am sincerely thankful for the full house and standing audience today, and to everyone supporting Fujimoto Tatsuki's works." Director Nagaya added, "I want to share the joy I witnessed from everyone today with the staff who worked hard alongside me." Director Takeuchi concluded, "Thank you so much for watching today. In Japan, it will be shown for a limited two-week run starting Friday, October 17th. Globally, it will be exclusively available on Prime Video from Saturday, November 8th. Please enjoy it again."

The anime "Tatsuki Fujimoto 17-26" is scheduled for a limited two-week screening starting October 17th, 2025, and will begin exclusive worldwide streaming on Prime Video on November 8th.
