Film Review: ALL YOU NEED IS KILL: An Energetic Anime Spin on a Science Fiction Classic [NYCC 2025]

Film Review: ALL YOU NEED IS KILL

A movie directed by Ken'ichirô Akimoto and Yukinori Nakamura, written by Yûichirô Kido and Hiroshi Sakurazaka and starring Ai Mikami, Natsuki Hanae, Mô Chûgakusei, Kana Hanazawa and Hiccorohee.

Groundhog Day and Edge of Tomorrow both featured the theme of repeating a specific day over and over again
, albeit in different situations with various levels of urgency.

The source material for Edge of Tomorrow, All You Need is Kill, is made into an anime film, which is a stroke of genius, as the material lends itself to animation more than any other form of visual medium.

This is a story of finding a reality through a certain level of absurdity.

Author's summary: Energetic anime spin on a science fiction classic.
