Film Review: ALL YOU NEED IS KILL
An energetic anime spin on a science fiction classic, All You Need is Kill (2025) was reviewed at New York Comic Con 2025.
The movie, directed by Ken'ichirô Akimoto and Yukinori Nakamura, and written by Yûichirô Kido and Hiroshi Sakurazaka, stars Ai Mikami, Natsuki Hanae, Mô Chûgakusei, Kana Hanazawa, and Hiccorohee.
Similar to Groundhog Day and Edge of Tomorrow, All You Need is Kill features the theme of repeating a specific day over and over again, but with a unique twist.
This is a story of finding a reality through a certain level of absurdity.
The source material, originally used for Edge of Tomorrow, lends itself perfectly to animation, making the anime adaptation a stroke of genius.
Author's summary: Energetic anime spin on a science fiction classic.
