Inde Navarrette Studied Anime to Learn Screenwriting
Inde Navarrette studied anime to understand storytelling while developing her skills in screenwriting.
She focused on Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen, comparing how their different approaches to timelines affect their stories.
Navarrette said Jujutsu Kaisen taught her how details introduced early can matter much later in a story.
She began this study during a career lull after Obsession was finished but before it was released.
During that period, she also streamed games on Twitch to make ends meet.
Navarrette is preparing to play Rogue in Marvel Studios’ X-Men reboot, and says she has studied the character to do the role justice.
She has also said she hopes to try voice acting, with a Resident Evil game among her dream projects.
Inde Navarrette says she studied anime to learn about screenwriting and storytelling.

What people are saying
I really dove into, ‘Why is Jujutsu Kaisen so good?’ And I learned about timeline and about storytelling
With Jujutsu Kaisen, they play with timelines, right? With Demon Slayer, they don’t, it’s very linear.
