But while revisiting the series ahead of its upcoming 2027 anime adaptation, I couldn't help but recall memories from my school days. Fujita somehow just kept striking at the hopes, dreams, fears, and uncertainty I felt as a young creative without a roadmap. After his first booze-drenched encounter with Nico, Tatsuhiko reflects on what exactly made him give up his interest in animation and take up the guitar. Speaking of Nico, she's busy navigating her own challenges while trying to support Tatsuhiko. However, in Beat & Motion (and in real life), these young creatives do their best to focus on the now.
