All You Need Is Kill | Official Trailer

Check out the All You Need Is Kill trailer for this upcoming animated action sci-fi drama film. All You Need Is Kill will feature its original Japanese language with subtitles, and will open in theaters nationwide beginning January 16, 2026.

Set in the year 20XX, ALL YOU NEED IS KILL follows the story of Rita, a resourceful but isolated young woman volunteering to help rebuild Japan after the mysterious appearance of a massive alien flower known as "Darol." When Darol unexpectedly erupts in a deadly event, unleashing monstrous creatures that decimate the population, Rita is caught in the destruction—and killed. But then she wakes up again. And again. Caught in an endless time loop, Rita must navigate the trauma and repetition of death until she crosses paths with Keiji, a shy young man trapped in the same cycle. Together, they fight to break free from the loop and find meaning in the chaos around them.

Produced by Warner Bros. Japan with animation production by acclaimed Japanese animation house STUDIO4°C (the upcoming ChaO, Tekkonkinkreet, Mind Game), the fan favorite animated action sci-fi drama is based on the globally best-selling light novel of the same name from author Hiroshi Sakurazaka. All You Need Is Kill is the feature directorial debut of Kenichiro Akimoto, with a script written by Yuichiro Kido.
