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

Directed by Ken'ichirô Akimoto and Yukinori Nakamura, All You Need is Kill (2025) is a science fiction anime film written by Yûichirô Kido and Hiroshi Sakurazaka.

The film features a talented voice cast, including Ai Mikami, Natsuki Hanae, Mô Chûgakusei, Kana Hanazawa, and Hiccorohee.

The theme of repeating a specific day over and over again is not new, as seen in Groundhog Day and Edge of Tomorrow. However, All You Need is Kill lends itself perfectly to animation, making it a great source material for an anime film.

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

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