Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai

The aloof protagonist: a bookworm who is deeply detached from the world he resides in. He has no interest in others and is firmly convinced that nobody has any interest in him either. His story begins when he stumbles across a handwritten book, titled Living with Dying. He soon identifies it as a secret diary belonging to his popular, bubbly classmate Sakura Yamauchi. She then confides in him about the pancreatic disease she is suffering from and that her time left is finite. Only her family knows about her terminal illness; not even her best friends are aware. Despite this revelation, he shows zero sympathy for her plight, but caught in the waves of Sakura's persistent buoyancy, he eventually concedes to accompanying her for her remaining days.

As the pair of polar opposites interact, their connection strengthens, interweaving through their choices made with each ing day. Her apparent nonchalance and unpredictability disrupts the protagonist's imive flow of life, gradually opening his heart as he discovers and embraces the true meaning of living.

I enjoyed this a lot more than I was expecting. The earnestness and sincerity of Sakura and Haruki's relationship is perhaps the film's greatest strength. So is its choice to center on the truth that humans were created as relational beings, who need love and community to thrive. Watching Haruki slowly open himself to including others in his life was moving. As was the film's implicit message to viewers - to treasure the world's beauty and the ones we love with the days we are given.

That said, what prevents me from giving this a higher score was the comparative weakness of the third act. ... Most of the right pieces were there, but they weren't executed quite as well. In particular, the animation in the planets/stars sequence has not aged well - which I found distracting from the emotional weight of the interaction there.

I didn't really enjoy the movie. While the emotional tone is consistent and the visuals are beautiful, the story itself felt quite predictable and, in my opinion, not particularly deep. The characters follow familiar tropes, and much of the plot unfolds in a way that didn't surprise me.

The only truly unexpected part was the twist at the end, which did catch me off guard. Still, even that wasn’t enough to leave a lasting impact. Overall, I wouldn't strongly recommend it. Because the story is just below average.

That said, it does have a few touching moments that some viewers might appreciate more than I did.

There are no characters here. The main duo are: Generic self-insert guy who is explicitly a blank slate devoid of any character aside from the 1-note of the original novel author's self-fellation of books, he likes books, he reads books, he's a librarian, books books books, library library library, Le Petite Prince, diary diary diary, texting texting texting. The girl is generic dying perfect dreamgirl who exists to throw herself at the MC and force him to learn the wonders of generic socialization one childish platonic crush date at a time.
The other students (who are all laughably barely present noncharacters) are assumptive angry manipulative assholes ... who refuse to allow her any agency as a person and bully the guy they don't know for no reason just because he interacted with her. Of course the author has no awareness of this bizarre narcissism because he wrote the girl to be hypocritically forcing her will onto MC in exactly the same way as she complains about in others and her ex(another aforementioned noncharacter asshole student who does nothing but be jealous once).
There's 1 laughable side plot of the only other 2 characters, who would've been better off cut from the movie instead of having one sitting around offering bubblegum and the other shouting pointlessly every scene until the end when it is used for a pointless 'and then they started dating' ending despite having the side characters literally never interact in a single scene for the entire movie.
Lastly is the mother of FMC who exists for 1 scene to say "thanks, read this."

Character explicitly name dropping "I want to eat your pancreas" like some kind of cringe Hot Tub Time Machine.

The plot spoils itself from the first scene: She dies after they get to know each other and caring about each other. It generically and mundanely presents the very basic notion of memento mori( you will die). It doesn't actually dig into anything of its themes, instead filling the movie with small talk and ultimately concluding with a bunch of generic empty fluff words about how "there are no words to describe our relationship, null character guy. Thank you for spending time with me." The end.

3/10 (where 5/10 is average)
