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 passing day. Her apparent nonchalance and unpredictability disrupts the protagonist's impassive flow of life, gradually opening his heart as he discovers and embraces the true meaning of living.

It was an enjoyable drama/romance/tearjerker movie but honestly a bit lackluster considering how praised this anime is. Maybe it's just me personally, but it didn't hit as hard as other dramas like YLIA. When the very sudden and sad twist happened I just didn't feel as emotional and even after it. Maybe 1h 40m was not enough to feel attachment, well not enough at least, but I'm not familiar with the novel so I'm not sure if it would've been possible to make the movie longer.

Pancreas is a decently run of the mill Dram-rom. The film sets out to be a pretty standard romance and it accomplishes such without exceeding expectations.
The film begins with a good start, a solid beginning to the main characters' relationship and establishes the conflict that arises later on. However, after the beginning, the film does little to connect its core premise to the plot until the very end. The non-main characters are inconsequential outside of a few scenes, and the two main characters offer little substance to push the film along for two hours. Towards the end the writing of these characters seems to ...

Tackling the reality that people actually die in real life can be an interesting focus, considering that all of this could happen to literally anyone at any time. Stories revolving the realization and process of death should be very moving, at least to those who have never experienced this type of thing and to those who have an affinity for these type of shows which should be cathartic.
I am of the latter persuasion and dealing with grief is definitely my wheelhouse. You might even say I have an unhealthy obsession with it. Unfortunately this 2 hour forced cliché dumster fire is neither cathartic nor pleasant; ...
