I Want to Eat Your Pancreas isn't the first adaptation of author Yoru Sumino's novel Let Me Eat Your Pancreas. A live-action version was released in 2017 in Japan, to rave reviews, but the anime doesn't lose any of the drama or power of the previous work. Instead, it refines them alongside absolutely stellar animation by Studio VOLN. If anything, the animation improves the bittersweet human tragedy of the story, and reinforces the message about the beauty of life despite the reality of death.
I Want to Eat Your Pancreas is one of the most heartbreaking anime films you'll ever see, in the best kind of way.

The film centers around an unnamed protagonist, played in the English dub by Robbie Daymond. A quiet and solitary young man, he works in the library and seems completely unperturbed by his standing as a loner. But a chance encounter with the most popular girl in his class changes things.
He discovers that the girl, Sakura (a very impressive Erika Harlacher), is dying of a pancreatic disease and only has a few years left, at most. She's kept it a secret from her friends so she can still enjoy a normal teenage life before she dies, but the young man proves to be the perfect outlet for her fears about the illness. He becomes her secret keeper and reluctant companion as she tries to finish everything on her bucket list before her time runs out.

Right from the beginning, the film explores her mortality with a bubbly edge. Sakura herself is instantly likable; she's peppy, strong-willed and kind. But she's not treated as a complete paragon, just as a nice girl who can get frustrated and angry, and probably enjoys playing pranks just a little bit too much.
While the film flirts with more obvious arcs, it subverts them in interesting ways. Sakura and the boy don't necessarily fall in love, but that potential (and the fact that everyone at school assumes they're dating) is definitely played with in interesting ways.
The voice acting throughout is genuine and tender, and helps the film remain enjoyable while never become schmaltzy. I Want to Eat Your Pancreas works incredibly well for the genre it inhabits, an animated version of something like The Fault in Our Stars, but with a better handle on teenagers and their emotions.

The unnamed boy's personal arc explores his chosen isolation and even hints at his crippling depression, making his growth through his experiences with Sakura about more than just friendship. The film is heady and willing to explore the complicated feelings of being a teenager, even without the lingering expectation of death hanging overhead. As a bittersweet and meaningful story, the film succeeds with gusto.

But it's the animation that elevates it to something else. The character work is detailed and specific enough to succeed in the smaller moments, with the occasional flashes of action. The film is able to shift tones with ease, in part due to the evocative imagery created by Studio VLON.

There are two sequences in particular, one during a fireworks display and the other at the end of the film, that use their inherently visual deviations from the bittersweet reality of the rest of the world to truly stand out. Seriously, it's one of the strangest and most memorable moments seen in an animated film in years.
At the screening for the film, representatives from Aniplex made sure to hand all members of the audience a box of tissues. It just goes to show how much confidence the studio had in the film being able to evoke the appropriate emotions, and it proved to be a good call. There wasn't a dry eye in the theater after the movie concluded.

The film is being released in theaters across the United States in conjunction with Fathom Events and the National Pancreas Foundation. The film does an amazing job of humanizing a deliberating illness in the most painful way, and is an honest tearjerker.
Even if you end up missing the screenings of the film through Fathom, make sure you give this film a chance when you get the opportunity. The story and characters are all incredibly well done throughout. It's one of the best tearjerkers in years, and the animation especially makes it stand out in a field of other, lesser versions of similar stories. I Want to Eat Your Pancreas is one of the best new anime films to be released and is worth checking out.

Hey Guys! I have another blog for you all, it's going to be My Thoughts to the movie 'I Want To Eat Your Pancreas' it was such a good anime it really showed how precious life is and we should be thankful about it. I'm just a beginner so I'm really sorry for some of my mistakes. I'm trying to make it better because I already tried to write about 'Nichijou Review' and 'Assassination Classroom First Impression' it wasn't good but I really tried. Okay enough with the talk, Let's get started!!
I made the TPL!!
Spoilers Alert!!
<<< ------------------------------------------- >>>

My Thoughts
Personally, I'm not a big fan of drama because I'm the kind of person who cries easily but of course I still watch, I just don't like it that much. The best example that I have watched are the animes Assassination Classroom and Anohana, we all know how this anime ends, it was sad and depressing it literally took me hours to stop crying after watching it, every time I remember those scenes it makes me sad.
No one recommends me this movie, I just came across with it while I'm looking for something to watch and when I saw the title it was so different from the movies that I have watched before because it's weird and strange at the same time. Pancreas? Seriously? I asked myself ' does it has something to do with science' I kept guessing what it could be and I even remembered my biology teacher because of it -.- but to be honest the title is so catchy 'I Want To Eat Your Pancreas' or also known as 'Let Me Eat Your Pancreas' anyone would be curious what is it about.
I finally came to the point where I decided to watch it because I'm so curious. I'm already aware that it's a drama so it's not about some sort of a monster that eats the pancreas of a human, I know that's weird •°• but I had the idea that it would be a disease.
There are two main characters in this movie, Sakura Yamauchi and Haruki Shiga and the fact that their names are connected to each other which are 'Cherry Blossom' and 'Spring' is so cute but we have to wait until the end just to know Haruki's name because the freaking sound suddenly disappeared when he told it, anyways as you noticed they don't call each other by their names, completely understand at least there's a surprise in the end.
I know the first part of the movie already showed a heads up that someone is going to die which already makes me sad it's like 'Come on why do you have to show it now, it can wait until the end' ugh what a huge spoiler -.- The first scene of the movie happened in the hospital, which is such an important place because it explained a lot about the movie and the place where Haruki and Sakura met. Thanks to the diary of Sakura they had the chance to talk, she started to write her daily life with her sickness since she was first diagnosed to have a pancreatic disease and knowing what's inside it breaks my heart which is the complete opposite to the reaction of Haruki, I don't why he doesn't have any reaction at all even though Sakura said that her pancreas stop working and she only have few years to live, he was like 'ok' he didn't react at all or even try to comfort Sakura like a normal person would do.
They actually go to the same school but I'm more surprised to know that they're classmates because they seem not too familiar with each other and that's because of Haruki being so quiet and Sakura having a lot of friends they don't notice each other that much, they're way too far from each other in terms of popularity.
It's so cute to see that they started going out together since their interaction in the hospital, I was so surprised that Sakura decided to spend the rest of her life with Haruki even though they barely know each other, she could just spend it with her friends and do fun things together but she chose to keep her illness secret especially to her friends because she doesn't want them to worry, she even volunteered for the assistant position in the library just to get close to Haruki. And what so funny is when Sakura asked Haruki if she could eat his pancreas because she saw on the television that back in the days when there's something wrong with your liver you eat a liver, when there's something wrong with your stomach you eat a stomach. I'm so happy to know where and why this movie named 'I Want To Eat Your Pancreas' it's even cooler!!
Their classmates started talking about them and I hate it because they see Haruki as a boring person and someone who doesn't deserve to have friends especially to Sakura, how could they? I don't really like people who think they're better than anyone else that brings people down because they don't fit to their world.
My experienced watching this movie is so good but to be honest I really hate the fact that she won't tell it to Kyoko, I mean it's her best friend she has the right to know just imagine your friend died without you knowing that she had an illness every single day you will blame your self that you could have done something precious for her, you could have stayed by her side and that's exactly what Kyoko felt when Sakura died but we can't blame Sakura after all she still want to live a normal life even though she only has a few years to live.
All good times always came to an end that's exactly why I don't like drama it will always success making you cry and breaking your heart. I know the first part already showed that Sakura is going to die but still, I wasn't ready, I don't know at all that she was going to die that way, not because of her sickness but because of some random asshole. I can't believe it at all, it's like the whole world of Haruki just got destroyed, he wasn't ready too like we are. The 'Living With Dying' tells a lot and made me cry even more. Sakura comes back to us!!
This movie taught us a lot of things, you only live once you should live with full of happiness and don't be scared to do what you want as long as you don't hurt anyone, show to your family and friends how much you love them because you don't know where or when they will leave you. Don't waste your time breaking someone's heart and making other people cry, changes someone for the better like Sakura did to Haruki.
Sakura Yamauchi
Sakura is such a wonderful character. I admire her much, she is so strong, despite of her illness she still manages to put a smile on her face and make other people happy especially Haruki, she helped him a lot and bring colors to his life, she's the only person who accepted Haruki the way he is.

Haruki Shiga
His classmates see him as a boring person and someone with no fun, but to be honest he is an amazing person, he is the only person giving Sakura reality and normalcy life, he just needs someone to accept and understand him, I really like him, he's the kind of person who wouldn't laugh at you while you're telling serious story, someone that you can trust and won't backstab you. He's a perfect friend.
Kyoko
Do you have a friend like Kyoka? If you have then you're lucky, keep that person. Kyoko is so cool she may be scary but I can really tell that she cares about Sakura, she's the kind of friend that won't leave you and will always stay by your side to protect.
Thank You For Reading!!
I Want to Eat Your Pancreas is not what you probably think it is. It is not some supernatural or post-apocalyptic or cannibalistic anime. It is actually a romance whose premise reminds me of romance books/films such as A Walk to Remember or The Fault in Our Stars.
The anime film has done exceptionally well in Japan and it even received a live-action adaptation in 2017 that was a hit according to /Film. If you’re still interested in watching the film, Fathom Events is going to be bringing it to the United States for two days. On February 7 at 7 PM local time, fans can watch the anime with English subtitles. If you prefer English dubs, you can watch it on February 10 at 12:55 PM local time.
