I want to eat your pancreas puts you off with the odd title. However, it is a beautiful story. The acting was very good. I also enjoyed how the story was presented. But the hilight was the characters. Both of them were so different and yet so right for each other (not in a romantic way, but a human way). The girl was possitive, bubbly, and simply adorable. The boy was quiet, unsociable, and kind of a calm force. Also, the cinematography was beautiful, with the cherry blossoms (sakura) and the school background. It served the innocence of the movie well. However, the story, in the final conclusion, kind of lacked the intensity that would have brought the whole tragedy to a climax. So, eight out of ten, because, the pace was also slow.
Plot summary
A high school girl with a terminal illness opts to make the most of her few remaining months, be cheerful and experience as much as possible before it is all too late. She has a crush on a class-mate and acts on her impulse. She loves her best friend and receives loyalty in return. She brings wonder to those around her. Part of her disposition is owing to her superstitious beliefs and the diary she is leaving behind, which acts as a letter to her sullen school crush.

Good Enough
I can't believe I watched it all
This movie really pissed me off. What is it with Japan and these blue pill romance films? Is this what men and women want in their relationships???
The boy and girl and their friendship/quesi-relationship really pissed me off after the first half hour. The guy could have went so much further with the girl, but because he is this herbivore male he doesn't. Also, I feel like the girl's illness is a disgrace to other people suffering from the same problem. Maybe some middle school student could like this crap and feel for it, but I can't see anyone else enjoying this.
If you're looking to cry in public...
If you want to cry for two hours at the start of your 10 hour flight from Brazil to Canada, this is a great way to accomplish that, and somehow this deceptively titled drama was featured in the in-flight programming on Air Canada. I had a few drinks, settled into my aisle seat on our giant plane and then loudly sobbed for two hours through this brutally depressing film.
10/10 would make fellow passengers uncomfortable again.
