All You Need Is Kill (Anime Film Announcement!)



"All You Need Is Kill" (（集英社刊）) made anime by STUDIO4°C, directed by Akimoto Kenichiro (Berserk Golden Age, Children of the Sea), with this sci-fi action about a human soldier repeating the day he was killed on the battlefield against aliens.



SYNOPSIS: After an unidentified plant from outer space invasion, Rita finds herself trapped in a time loop, forced to relive the same day over and over again. With each loop, she learns. She fights. Her memories and experiences sharpen her skills, turning her into a formidable warrior. Yet, the endless cycle of death and solitude begins to wear her down. Then, she meets Keiji. “I’ve been repeating this day too,” he says. Two lost souls, trapped in an endless war. Could their meeting change fate?



Hiroshi Sakurazaka’s "All You Need Is Kill", known for its groundbreaking time loop concept and powerful narrative of growth, played a pivotal role in the time loop sci-fi phenomenon. This iconic novel, which was later adapted into a global hit film, is now being reimagined as an anime. With a perfect blend of traditional animation techniques and cutting-edge visual technology, STUDIO 4℃ will be handling animation!

And while the novel and manga eludes me, I am much more familiar with the 2014 live-action film adaptation from director Doug Liman starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, titled "Edge of Tomorrow"! Gotta love the "Groundhog Day" with a kill-count FTW!
