ALL YOU NEED IS KILL, a 2025 film directed by Ken'ichirô Akimoto and Yukinori Nakamura, offers an energetic anime spin on a science fiction classic.
The movie, written by Yûichirô Kido and Hiroshi Sakurazaka, stars Ai Mikami, Natsuki Hanae, Mô Chûgakusei, Kana Hanazawa, and Hiccorohee. It explores the theme of repeating a specific day over and over, a concept also seen in Groundhog Day and Edge of Tomorrow, but with a unique twist.
This is a story of finding a reality through a certain level of absurdity.
By adapting the source material of Edge of Tomorrow into an anime film, the creators have leveraged the strengths of animation to bring this story to life. The result is a compelling and energetic take on a familiar science fiction theme.
