    Never cried for a movie, this one made me cry
    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.
