Who else think that this movie deserves at least 8.2 🌟 rating

I was flying back from Japan to Belgium (long flight) . So, i was browsing the movies they had on the airplane. ..... ..... .... I Want to Eat Your Pancreas .... .... Hell yeah! I'm a big horror fan! So the title immediately caught my attention! I was immediately convinced, so without reading what the film was about I started this adventure. ... .... Ooh boy! I think sometimes it's good to know nothing about the movie when you first see it! Because otherwise i would never have seen this movie.

I'm a horror fan! I don't wanna see a stupid love story movie. But this movie was a good movie, no, it was marvelous! It had everything you wanna see in a movie! Sometimes you gonna feel really sad, maybe you even gonna cry! Other times the movie will put a smile on your face!

I don't like it when people tell me to much content about the movie. So, i'm not gonna do that! Try it! Give it a chance on a rainy day! After the movie you will say to yourself ..... ..... Damn, this was a good movie!

Often when it comes to anime movies, people tend to talk about 'Your Name' or 'Spirited Away'. But 'I Want To Eat Your Pancreas' is that underrated movie that potrays the pureness of friendship, meaning of a existence and the pain of losing a loved one.

You expect things to end in a happy note. But that doesn't always happen in life. The reality of death and pain associated with it prevais throughout the movie. Viewers are able to connect with the mental emotions of the protagonist and ig thats why you smile, laugh and cry with him.

In short, its a must watch wholesome movie that really moves your heart. The simple composition and elegant picturization will leave you in awe and with welled eyes and a heavy heart.

This is such an emotional movie. I think what i loved about it is that it isn't just a sad movie it is also such a warm movie.

First off it looks fantastic. Every frame is just perfection. The colours, the animation. It's all really impressive.

The story and characters are amazing too. The script is gorgeous. It is a familiar type of story but it has so many elements that change it around and prevent from being stale. The characters are fully realised, you understand them both so much

I think the strongest part is the theming. It is just beautiful and woven into the film so effortlessly. It explores friendships, loneliness and death as well as live and living in such an amazing way. It isn't scared to really dig deep into these topics and shove them in your face to look at. I can't express how amazing it was to watch the writer explore and play with these films in such a real way.

Definitely check it out. It is fantastic, you'll cry and smile.

I rarely cry by viewings a movie i found this movie by its wierd title bit after watching it i really cried its such a hear breaking movie

If you like the bitter sweet ending like your lie in april , angel beats then its a very good movie to see with its has element of good romance movie

This film hits all the right notes emotionally, telling the story of two high schoolers, one an asocial loner and the other an impulsive girl about to die. I thought, "I've seen this before." It's the typical "manic pixie dream girl" plot combined with the contrived terminal illness tearjerker plot. And I was right, but only partially. The depth of the characters and plot go beyond a typical plot, with interesting developments and backstories that deviate from stereotypes. It was still rather contrived and the ending dragged on but for the most part it accomplishes what it set out to, a surprisingly deep and heartfelt story about life and death.

A quiet young high school student accidentally discovers that a popular classmate has a terminal illness. Awed by his unfazed reaction to the revelation of her short life, she starts to hang out with him. Knowing that her close friends would react over-dramatically like her family already does, she keeps it a secret from them since it would only make things harder for her. She finds comfort in the protagonist's detached personality because it allows her to be herself without being constantly reminded of death.

Characters with terminal illnesses have been used quite a lot in fiction. Unlike many of those, this movie doesn't rely on scenes of a physically struggling diseased person. What we get instead are lots of honest dialogues of two interesting characters as they bond and sincerely try to help each other.

The characters, the animation, and the colors are all simple but they all have a charm. Nothing stands out, but what is impressive is that the whole is greater than the sum of the parts. The storytelling really makes all the parts shine.

The movie and the book have the same plot, but the characters are slightly different. The core of their personalities are the same, but the way they talk and are shown in the movie feel more genuine. In the novel the protagonist keeps narrating the whole story and his thoughts and opinions contrast a lot to the reserved person in the movie. I prefer the movie by far. This is clearly a case of less is more.

My friend recommended me o watch this and all I want to say is that stop reading the reviews and go watch it now. This movie has a deep meaning of life and even if you're a cold hearted person, you will cry. Just go watch it. Best movie ever. I never expected to cry this much.

If I had watched this movie a year ago, I might have given it a higher score, but after watching A Silent Voice and Your Name I can't give it more than this.

Plotwise, it's very similar to Your Lie in April but with an older cast. I preferred YLIA more, but that might be because it's a series and you get more attached to the characters before they die. A focal point about these types of stories is the impact the main protagonist has on someone else, but with this movie, it fell short on that end in my opinion; we didn't get to see any of his changed, nor am I sure how exactly she influenced him in the first place. In terms of romance, well obviously, this isn't a romantic story p, but I really liked how they portrayed the dynamic between the two. It was somewhat realistic and subtle.

My biggest issue might be with the characters. Sakura is the typical anime girl; super cheery and almost a bit annoying, and her agenda becomes clear after 10 minutes into the movie. Kyoko is beyond obnoxious; we are expected to accept that she is this awful because she is Sakura's best friend, yet A) her actions are completely unreasonable and B) we hardly get to see any interaction between the 2 to empathize with her and understand their friendship. Haruki on the other hand was extremely likable, he might have been the only reason why I enjoyed this movie. He seemed relatable, contrary to everyone and the progression of his feelings towards Sakura was well portrayed.

In terms of animation is was in a similar style to Your Name but slightly worse, i.e still pretty good. I can't say anything about the soundtrack.

This movie is meant to make you emotional, but to me it hardly did, especially compared to A Silent Voice, which had crying like a baby after a couple of minutes into it. This might be because Sakura didn't seem very realistic to me so I couldn't bring myself to care enough.

I'll give it props for 1) it's title and 2) for the interesting plot twist at the end.

Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad movie. The reason for the mediocre score is merely that no matter which aspect you like about this movie, I know at least one other anime movie that does it way better. And it's weaknesses, are just too bothersome.

A universal story on the cruelties of life but, more importantly, about the joys of life; the changes and affects two people can have on each other at the most difficult of times. The yearning we've all experienced for the magic that can exist between two people, when we don't have it, and the torrent of emotions it can bring forth.

I saw Kimi no Suizo wo Tabetai today, the second last day it was playing in my area. I had planned to see it earlier, missed it and gave up, until an opportunity came for me to see it at the last minute. I have to say, I am so glad I went.

Kimi no Suizo wo Tabetai is a romance/ slice of life that explores the life of an introvert who learns that a girl is suffering from a pancreatic illness. Of course, it's in the synopsis, but for me, I don't think the synopsis lived up to the movie. It follows an emotional journey for the two main characters that is hard to describe without spoiling. The unlikely bond between the to seemingly opposite characters is a joy to see, and genuinely makes you smile and cry at the screen throughout the film.

Some of the best anime films have been released recently, such as Kimi no Na Wa and Koe no Katachi (Your Name and a Silent Voice), and while I am unsure if I found it necessarily better than these films, I definitely found it more emotional and more real than the others. There was not a part of this movie that wasn't beautifully animated and captivating. It isn't a drag to watch, bus just a really sweet and masterful film. Kimi no Suizo wo Tabetai is one to see for sure.

This movie hits me really hard in a good way. It has a special place in my heart.

Everything was good. The studio did a really good animation and the OST were very good aswell. They made Sakura very loveable and adorable, the voice actor did a VERY good job. About the opening, it was cheerful meanwhile the ending was sad but it really fit the ambience when the credits was rolling.

The only bad thing is that it was too short (1hour 40minutes) i wish it could be longer (2hours 30 minutes) so they can really give more to the plot and really emphasize the character's relationship. I felt like they still could of done a lot more character progressing in the movie, but again the short time frame they had to do it in really restricted their moves. I understand making a anime movie is hard since you have to build so much in so little time like the character's past and lives. So its ok for me because they did it pretty well.

And dont forget to stay till the end, there is a bonus scene that really complete the movie.



For those who still don't get why it's called "I want to eat your pancreas" here's the reason:

There's a myth(or some old ritual) that says eating a certain body part will make the one who eats it body part feel better (Ex: eat a liver for a better liver).

She tells him she wants to "eat his pancreas" because she wants to recover and live since she is secretly afraid of dying and puts up a front. Also in a religion, if you eat a part of someone it's believed that their soul will stay within you.

Which is why he says he wants to "eat her pancreas" since they've become very close and even though she'll die of her illness, he wants her to live on in him...



Overall i didnt get bored a single time while watching this movie. I've never cried in front of a movie and this one made me cry so much. You better watch this masterpiece, you won't regret i swear.

If you liked "A silent voice" or "Your name", from my personnal opinion, this movie is better than those two and i really liked them so you can see the scale.

Sakura and Haruka you never know when you get connected to them , teaches us many lessons in different ways. A worth watch indeed

I watch this movie more than 10 times.World best movie.I am weeping in last scene.

The main and heroine character's personality are too classic. The story and purpose of the movie is good, I think that's why this movie got 7,9 ratings. But the plot is easy to read. the song is good, but the soundtrack is nothing special.

When I want to watch anime or animation movie, the first thing i expect is the art, background art, complexity, etc. But this movie's art directing is like ordinary TV Series Anime, but i can't expect more because this is romance movie. The character arts are fine, but the most of background are blurred, the fireworks just like fireworks, and even the sakura is too bright, classic sakura anime things. Aniplex please, TV Shows is different to movie. give something wow please.

Like i said before, the story and purpose of the movie actually pretty good, but i gave the directing style like 5-6 point out of 10. They put many clues of the ending. and the plot ver-very cliche

I was intrigued by this anime from the get-go. The title itself was eye catching as I had never seen such a bizarre name, and I sat down to watch it as soon as I got the chance. 'I want to eat your pancreas' is about a young girl named Sakura who was diagnosed with a pancreatic illness, and told she had only a little time left to live. This film not only is beautiful aesthetically but also through the story it tells the audience. The message is to live everyday like it's your last! If you liked other anime such as 'your lie in april' or 'Kimi no Na wa' this is perfect for you.

I watched it and it's really touching! The relationship between the 2 main characters is truly amazing to see! Although... The title makes me laugh my head off every time I read it. Still a good movie

This movie made me feel so many emotions. I would recommend to watch this when you're not in public, and bring a couple of tissues with you. You can watch this movie with family and I would highly recommend

At Starting of the movie I felt it would be an average story by the title of the movie, but when I watched the whole thing I came to a conclusion that this was far beyond my expectations. It was a wonderful movie that made me cry and just was happy to watch it . And I want to watch it again and again... So I could never ever forget about it.🖤🖤🖤just loved the movie 🖤🖤
