Film Review: ALL YOU NEED IS KILL
ALL YOU NEED IS KILL, a movie directed by Ken'ichirô Akimoto and Yukinori Nakamura, was reviewed at New York Comic Con 2025.
The film, written by Yûichirô Kido and Hiroshi Sakurazaka, stars 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 also present in ALL YOU NEED IS KILL, but with a unique twist.
That’s because the material lends itself to animation more than any other form of visual medium. This is a story of finding a reality through a certain level of absurdity.
The anime adaptation of ALL YOU NEED IS KILL brings a fresh spin to the science fiction classic.
