Film Review: ALL YOU NEED IS KILL
Directed by Ken'ichirô Akimoto and Yukinori Nakamura, All You Need is Kill (2025) is a movie written by Yûichirô Kido and Hiroshi Sakurazaka, starring Ai Mikami, Natsuki Hanae, Mô Chûgakusei, Kana Hanazawa, and Hiccorohee.
The theme of repeating a day, as seen in Groundhog Day and Edge of Tomorrow, is reimagined in this anime film. The source material, All You Need is Kill, lends itself to animation, making it a great fit for this visual medium.
This is a story of finding a reality through a certain level of absurdity.
The film's energetic take on a science fiction classic is a stroke of genius, bringing a new spin to the genre.
Author's summary: Energetic anime spin on a science fiction classic.
