The science fiction novel All You Need Is Kill , by Hiroshi Sakurazaka , had its anime adaptation announced this Thursday (13). A visual and trailer were highlighted.
Therefore, the animation is by the studio STUDIO4°C and directed by Akimoto Kenichiro (Berserk Golden Age, Children of the Sea).
This time, the story will be reconstructed from a new perspective, different from the original novel and the live-action adaptation. The focus will be on the inner journey of Rita, a lonely woman, exploring her loneliness, her struggles, and her emotional growth.
All You Need Is Kill Synopsis:
Rita is trapped in a time loop, reliving the same day over and over again after the invasion of extraterrestrial life forms. Armed with her accumulated memories and experiences, she continues to fight. However, with no one understanding her and no end in sight to the battle, her mind begins to fray. Then Keiji appears in her life. "Me too... I've been replaying this day," he says. Two destinies intersect. Could this encounter bring hope to an endless battlefield?
Therefore All You Need Is Kill , known for its revolutionary concept of time loops and its powerful narrative about growing up, played a crucial role in the science fiction phenomenon of time travel.
Ultimately, this iconic novel, which later became a film starring Tom Cruise (Edge of Tomorrow), became a worldwide success.
