    A heartwarming message

    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.

    A Showcase Of Using Themes in Movies

    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.

    Beautiful & Touching...

    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.

    HONESTLY, THIS IS THE BEST MOVIE I'VE EVER SEEN. I'VE NEVER CRIED SO MUCH WHILE WATCHING SOMETHING

    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.
