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

All You Need is Kill (2025) is a movie directed by Ken'ichirô Akimoto and Yukinori Nakamura, written by Yûichirô Kido and Hiroshi Sakurazaka.

The film features an energetic anime spin on a science fiction classic, starring Ai Mikami, Natsuki Hanae, Mô Chûgakusei, Kana Hanazawa and Hiccorohee.

The theme of repeating a specific day over and over again is reminiscent of 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.

The source material lends itself to animation, making it a great choice for an anime film.

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