"He learned how to live from a girl who was going to die"

The anime in a nutshell: -Step one: Lie down -Step two: Try not to cry -Step three: Cry a lot

i was ok until the mc says, 'Can i cry now?' that’s when i burst into tears

This anime is the definition of: I was expecting this would happen, but why does it still hurts.

When he says, "I want to eat your pancreas," he is also referring to the other superstition that if you eat someone else's organs, their soul lives on inside you.

On that day, mankind received a grim reminder. Waifus can die if they are killed.

4 years ago, a new classmate transfered to my class. She was a quiet and rather mean girl in the beginning. As a couple weeks went on, she got alittle more comfortable and tried making some friends, one of which was me. She was still that mean antisocial girl to most but she started to show a brighter side of herself as we got to know each other along with a couple others. Later on, she revealed that she had a heart disease where her heart could literally stop anytime and had to be sent to the hospital emmediately. At first we were shocked but weren't really bothered by it as we took it lightly (basically a bunch of 14 year olds underestimating reality). Time went on, and we created memories. She joined my music club and we performed on stage on a Halloween performance. All was well and she seemed to be having fun alot of the time. Then one afternoon during school break while i was having lunch. I received a text from the class group chat that she had passed in her sleep due to her heart stopping. I sat there staring at my phone with a tear being shed. I had never shed a tear or felt this way before. It was my first. My hands were shivering and I couldn't move a muscle. All those memories flashed by in an instant and all I could think of was how we all took advantage of her situation and looked passed it. During the funeral. Only a handful of us came as most of our classmates were not very close to her. When I walked up to her mother and introduced myself while visiting, she told me how we had made her year in school so much better. The main reason she left her old school was due to her inability to fit in. And within that 1 year of her being transfered to our school, her mother told me she was the happiest she had ever been and had mentioned my name a number of times during dinner time. At the time I didn't thought much about it and just felt sad. But thinking about it now after watching this movie, it touched a deep part of my heart.

fun fact: they never said "I love you" to each other

“The best memories are sad, because you know they will never happen again.”

everyboda gangsta until MC says: *Can I cry now?*

"Ok I know she dies" *she dies* "Why did she die?🥲"

The subtle foreshadowing about the real reason for Sakura’s death throughout the movie is crazy. Side characters casually talking about how dangerous it is outside, TVs in the background mentioning the rise in crime. But we don’t think anything of these extremely niche exchanges until they’re suddenly thrust into the limelight of the plot. You feel cheated because you thought, if there’s anything I can prepare myself for while watching this movie is for her death. But we don’t even get that, and neither did Haruki.

The whole movie in a nutshell *THEY HAD US IN THE FIRST HALF NOT GONNA LIE*

“I want to eat your pancreas” is better than “The Fault in our stars” You can’t change my mind

It hurts when the person you made the best memories with....becomes a memory

Can we just appreciate how much thought and structure goes into Gigguk’s scripts. The execution is always incredible and comes from the heart. The man is a better wordsmith than some writers, it’s incredible talent!

You should add English captions to your videos because it's hard for me to hear your voice over the sound of myself crying.

"This isn't a story about dying, it's one about finding out what it means to be living" 😭💗

It’s sad now he has to live with the memories with the person he loved and has to move on with his life without her

my man, the ending of this video with the music, the cuts and the beautiful roto-brushing of both main characters has got to be one of the most memorable endings to a video I've ever seen, and thank you for getting me into post-rock with that music.

I agree. Speedwagon died way too early.

"this is not a story about dying, it's one about finding out what it means to be living" -Gigguk (2019) I mean that hit hard

The most tragic part is that as soon as Sakura finds out that he felt the same way, with the confession of "i want to eat your pancreas." They both knew they loved each other in the end, but she and him where robbed of the little time they had left together. To be able to respond to each others confessions, knowing they both felt the same way and that they'd made an impact on one another's lives...

The grief of my grandmother passing didn't hit me until I realized it would be the first Christmas I'll have without her and it was also the first time I've ever made my dad cry

"Two sides of the same coin. Never quite able to grasp the other side yet intricately linked forever in an existence of perfect balance" - Gigguk 2019

should have called "the waifu that should have kept her laifu"

At 8:48 when " The Night we Met " started playing.... it hit hard man.

Bruh, honestly... this is a perfect villain origin arc.

Your free trial of waifu has ended, and sadly you have no social life skill credits to save her.

Gigguk is the type of guy to call a relative a "petite milf" and say "no chromo".

The anime writer to the audience be like : You know she will die but you will still cry

To be completely honest, this movie can rival A Silent Voice even though it has such a common trope. I felt like I was so IN the story and I still can’t get out of it, even after Sakura died and the movie ended. I cried shameless tears watching this because I know that one day, this could happen to anyone, whether they are in the perspective of Sakura or Haruki. Either way, it’s gonna hurt for both ends of the string and it’s a reality you just can’t escape from. I Want to Eat your Pancreas is something that I will live with for almost forever, I’m sure. It’s a masterpiece that I can’t seem to stop thinking about and is probably the first thing I think of when someone asks me “what’s your favorite movie” I mourned for Sakura though I don’t know her, that’s how well these characters were made to make the story seem real, to make us watchers feel as we know them in person. Haruki, I hope you had fun with Sakura. Sakura, I hope in the afterlife you still remember the introverted boy you made become your friend. May Haruki and Sakura live in our hearts just as she wanted to have her soul live in him.

i've never heard gigguk sound so sad while advertising his code on bookwalker

"This anime has nothing to do with consumption of body parts." Hey that's not what i paid for.

When the MC started reading her diary in the end, that's when I broke down...

haruki's socially awkard introverted personality is just basically me in i also dont have friends nice to know im not only the one😐

Reflecting about mortality the best way to spend a Saturday afternoon.

When the “plot twist” came I was literally gonna punch the tv screen. THAT TWIST DIDNT HAVE TO HAPPEN I DID NOT EXPECT THAT

I totally lost it when he asked can i cry to Sakura's mom

The song at the end is called “the only moment we were alone” by explosions in the sky

I cried watching Gigguk talk about this, how the hell am I going to cope with the actual movie?

Top scientific discoveries of our generation 1. Death is sad

“This isn’t a story about dying, it’s one about finding out what it means to be living”. Instead of spending the rest of her time left going places around the world doing crazy things, she decides to use it on turning Haruki’s life around to enjoy it and cherish it like if it’s your last day..

I loved the morbidity of this movie, especially the dialogue. Nothing felt overdramatic, just natural conversation that makes sense coming from someone that’s had to deal with confronting their own mortality at a young age

She really was "The waifu That Didn't deserve to die" 💔

Something that makes the plot twist even sadder (spoilers) She was terrified of dying, and she didn’t die quickly when she got stabbed, she died later in the hospital, she probably knew they couldn’t save her so she was just stuck in pure terror because she wasn’t ready yet, she still had plans and stuff

I recently lost a dear classmate who was pretty much loved by everyone in my grade and i literally never saw him without a smile on his face, and the part from 10:16 to 10:46 describe what i felt perfectly when i heard the news

"The past remains as a memory, the present remains as what we currently see, the future remains as a vision we do or don't want to see." This basically fits the movie, the girl remains as a memory to the MC, the MC sees her as a good friend but rather more than a friend, the MC doesn't want to see the future of her dying and wants to see a future where she lives.

If this story is hitting you too hard in the feels just replace "pancreas" with "ass". It's still sad, but you get the occasional sensible chuckle.

Me: *celebrating his bday* Gigguk: *uploads video about death* I gotchu.

10:10 this part destroyed the sh*t out of me.. Really strong words to hear when you lost someone recently.

Gigguk truly has words that move me deeply when describing these stories

Me : Time for a Relaxing Sunday. Gigguk : **Slaps me in the face with Feels** You are welcome.

Quick reminder that this video came from the same guy who made a meme video on Eromanga Sensei

i was so in love with her character i was in disbelief when she actually died i literally forgot lol and was kinda hoping that it was a party or something that was foreign to me 10/10 best stand alone anime movie ive watched others include Perfect Blue and The Garden of Words

Top 4 most painful things in the known universe: Fire The vacuum of space A Black hole The ending to “I want to eat your Pancreas”

I have cancer Cool I dont Omg we have nothing in common That killed me

Anime girl: *exists* Pancreas: I’m about end their entire career

bruh I was keeping my tears in until the mc said "can I cry" and burst out crying I couldn't hold it in so we just cried together

Watching this video over and over again finally helped me start to actually grieve for my late grandads and uncle, all passed away due to cancer. And now with my nanna possibly having it, this video has been helping me start to understand more on how to let these emotions out better than any person has. I do not if that is bad, but i do know that i appreciate everything gigguk put into thos video especially the last bit. I think it is time for some grieving now.

I almost put a hole in the wall. She didn't deserve to die the way she did.

Gigguk, you really have me crying in the middle of Home Depot right now

I've just come here after having balled my eyes out over watching the movie myself. You had me laughing in the first half of the video and then crying again at the end- I am an emotional mess right now. Thank you for cheering me up, in the first half of this video :)

I was watching this then I broke out in tears when I found out that she died and I was like: Warning Spoiler ⚠️ And I just wanted to Hunt down that damn murder and ruin his whole fucking life. 😭

Man, this hit harder than truck-kun.

"i hope you ENJOYED this video.. enjoyed?... ENJOYED!? You made us all FEEL!

I had moved on from this movie but YT decided to recommend a reaction video. And then back to this video. For the 2nd time around. And the way you did that at 10:57 was brilliant. It was like seeing that scene from his perspective. How everything started flooding back into his mind as he let all the tears flow.

Ngl I always find myself coming back to this video alot

Ahhh,nothing like a good depression to spend my sunday morning

Gigguk: here... This waifu is cute Me: huh she is cu-.... Gigguk: she dies -_-

If anyone is wondering, the song that plays towards the end is "The night we met"

Am i only one who notices 'the night we met' being played in the background? 8:55

My waifu Speedwagon will follow me til death. No other waifu would.

GIANT HINT IN THE MOVIE: The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry was the book Sakura lent to Haruki. IF YOU READ IT (I DID) YOU WILL FIND CRITICAL HINTS AND REFERENCES THROUGHOUT THE MOVIE, *THE ENDING IS LITERALLY A LITTLE PRINCE REFERENCE!!!* Sakura was like the little prince, and Haruki is the aviator. She is the rose, who became special to him, Haruki is like the fox and each day he allows Sakura to get closer to him, and eventually, Sakura "tames" the fox which is, Haruki. And because he was tamed by her, he began to need her. At the end, the little prince dies, just as Sakura dies. The little prince died by the bite of a snake, Sakura died by the stab of a knife. Haruki... well... just like the aviator, he will always remember her, the "little prince" who tamed his fox heart. the "rose", who was one of the millions of other identical roses in the world, become his only one. 9.5/10 movie, would recommend.

I just love his format of videos It's very relaxing and I really appreciate gig's work Merry Christmas everyone

I can’t... this anime was just amazing, and you described it perfectly.

Gigguk speaks like an english teacher analysing a line from a charles dickens book

The saddest part of the movie is when the guy hears Sakura's laughing voice in graveyard but when he looks back no one is there and they say Sakura is waiting for them. Thinking of this scene is enough to give you chills.

I remember one of my best friend was moving to another state on the next day of results of i guess 8th class maybe. My results were bad and i knew my mom was angry and i couldn't make up myself to ask mom to let me say bye to him on the last day. I didn't really thought about it but the next day i accidentally mentioned it and my mom and sister scolded me for not asking at all. My mom literally said "your grades were bad but it was not the end of the world and I'm not cruel enough to disrespect your feelings". I didn't really thought about it but then 2 days later I saw an ad on TV saying "poochne mein kya jata hai" meaning "what's the problem in just asking" and that night i started to overthink "maybe i should've just asked cause mom is really an emotional person from start" or " maybe it was my last time seeing him ? ". And at that moment I started to cry badly at 3 AM regretting my decision. Next day i immediately called him and appologised for not seeing him off but he said " we're friends, don't worry I'm not mad". Fast forward to today and we still talk on insta but that was one hell of a journey. And the moral was "don't be afraid to ask"

Gigguk, this is probably your best video. I was so moved by it I cried hard. Thank you

who’s here after watching the movie and still not over it :((((

I’d name it “The fault in Her Guts”

i have probably watched this movie 2 or 3 times. i loved it and it makes me sad everytime. it actually reminds me of my former classmate and my grandma who both passed away. my classmate was very young, we were like 14 or 15 y/o when she left, she was a cheerful girl who always had a great laugh. she was such a nice person, very positive until i found out through text that she passed away and at that time, i was sick and i had to go to the hospital. my grandma on the other hand, suffered from lung cancer for nearly 3 years. she was in and out of the hospital until she finally never came back there and was bedridden at home. she often had attacks, near death experiences, but lived through it until she passed away in 2019, in her sleep. i was regretful for not being by her side all the time. she always tells us to come visit her in which we did but i think we were too late. i miss her smiles and hugs. sorry if this became very personal, basically just love the people around you while we are still alive. we never know what might happen in the future. we love getting emotional and personal through anime, its nice that art touches people in a lot of ways.

Just watched the movie and decided to watch this video, have never cried at a gigguk video before now.

This won't get me emotiona- *8 minutes later* *Crying*

“I have cancer” “I don’t” OH FUCKKKKK

I really liked how you put all of that into words. Truly moved.

This video has made me cry multiple times but I still watch it because it’s so beautiful

The extremely terminal cancer with a picture of myne. Glorious.

Jesus, I almost cried because of your video and I didn't even know the anime before

I often come back and re watch this video, i don't know why exactly but i love it so much, so thank you Garnt :)

Man, i never thought gigguk can make a speech that can make me feels emotional

This is the first time I've tearing up more in a KZfaq video reviewing a film than the actual film itself. Holy shit, Gigguk

we must all remember... she will live on in our pancreas

The part i love tha most (and huuuuge spoilers here so yeah, don't read) was: The fact that she didn't die of her cancer, but died being attacked out randomly. Which made her death even more sudden and hurtful towards her classmates (who didn't knew of her terminal diesese), but also robbed of the little time the MC had left with Sakura, especially in the moment they were starting to open up.

i truly cry thanks for everything man I appreciate it

The moment i saw the old Clannad sakura trees i knew this was gonna be sad...

*The fact that he erased our depression that we got from watching it, and then he finally makes us even more depressed than before*

Such a great video. I watched this movie last night at 2 am, and could sleep until 6. This movie broke me, and watching this video cheered me up a little. I don't want to avoid the feelings I have for this, so I'm doing my best to just let it all out right now. Bottled up emotions are good. This movie even gave me a different perspective on life. I'm gonna listen to the message this movie conveys and see how beautiful life and death really can be.

Man I couldn't cry when I watched it but after that I came to watch your video and now I'm crying. Thank you.
