Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai

-The main dynamic between the two leads is extremely similar -Both generally have a carefree and uplifting tone masked by a twinge of sadness, though Shigatsu has lots of moments that do not necessarily have that same tone -Both aim to revolutionize the audience's view of the world and inspire change 

Main boy & girl are complete opposite of each other. Girl live her life to the fullest meanwhile Boy have struggle with social interaction. Story about dealing with misfortune, grief, and growth. Also great love story, without official relationship status. 

Life...is a drag, and having a stable social one is even a bigger drag. Unlike in Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso, in Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai the main character copes with antisociality & school problems, while in Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso the main character copes with other more complex mental barriers, "main character copes" that's a little misleading, MAIN CHARACTER gets pushed over his limit by an extroverted female lead that wishes to help the main character, that's how it should be -- while slowly developing feelings for our troubled male protagonists. Both stories are tragic yet beautiful. 

Both are great stories with similar plot lines. KimiSui follows much of the same plot at first but there's a much different ending. Both are dramas with romance elements, although the dynamic is different than in YLIA. Both have an outgoing female lead and an introverted male protagonist. Everything good about YLIA follows suit in KimiSui. 

Human relationships in general are very hard to handle and understand. These two animes show the real difficulty behind that, they talk about and how a girl, full of happiness and energy, tries to help and get related with an antisocial boy, who does not care about making friends, having new experiences, we could even say that them do not care about life at all. Is she going to make him change? 

A story of two very similar characters but different in their own regards. 

These tear-jerking animes can broaden your view of life and emphasize the importance of living every moment as if t's your last. The heroines struggle with an incurable disease and shows us how they make the most of their residual time with loved ones surrounding them,captivating us in a touching and mesmerizing journey! 

Same kinda story, sick girl meets antisocial guy and their story. Both extremely sad and heart breaking. 

A lot of similarities in relation to the main characters, and the situations they're put in. Main male has a very negative view on everyday life until he meets the main female lead, who tries to make the best out of her terrible situation. Both shows also share similar scenes towards the end  

Both had similar plot and characters. Stories about an ill popular girl becoming friends with an antisocial boy whilst changing the boy's life. 

In the two anime, you have two boys who was living in their own world until a single petal that drifted into their life. Both tells a tale almost similar, yet different in countless ways. They both tells the story of life, death and importance of person in life but presently in a vastly different but admirable way. If you liked one, then you'll mostly likely like the other too~  

And then here we go. You know what i mean because if you've read another user's recommendations then this one's not much different than the other. Ok so here's my thought, instead of telling how is this similiar to each other i'm gonna tell what's different. Because the difference are much less. So the difference is the setting. Just different place, different event, and maybe different behavior between the MC's. But all the other things are same. Like the same damn character, same circumstances, or even same plot. I'm not gonna say the shigatsu one are better or the otherwise. But what i'm gonna say is even with those differences or similiarity, you won't get the exact same feeling from both anime so watch one after the another are worth if you're like it. read more 

Follows similar character suffering with illness that is about to die And another character whom the first one loves secretly Also the second one gets affected by first one's thoughts finally redeemed Death and life are portrayed very well  

In both cases there are similar themes but with certain differences that will make you end up loving them and also end up crying. 

Unfortunately, some of the similarities will have to be omitted to avoid spoilers. - Both portray the reality of a more apathetic protagonist, who changes his perspective on life based on involvement with a girl. - Both contain relationships between a practically opposite couple. Sakura and Kaori are really similar in their personalities. - Both moments of final climax are extremely similar (I will let you find out for yourself). - Both carry emotionally impactful messages that are projected on the protagonist, but that are valid for the viewer. In Shigatsu, this is more Character-Focused, while in Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai, it is more Theme-Focused. 

-Both Male MCs are quiet, "depressed" and overall very mellow, perhaps because of some background trauma or just because of their personality. -Both Female MCs are very bubbly and energetic, and are a complete polar opposite to our male MCs. -Both anime explore the journey between these two opposites -Something happens to our female MCs that change the course of their relationships forever. -With this event, very similar emotions are evoked throughout both pieces of medium.  

both feature a main girl who appears to be on a timer. both explore the relationships between characters and how meaningful connections can change a person for the better.  

-Both shows possess a character suffering from an illness. -The bond between the two protagonists get stronger and stronger as time passes. -Both are bittersweet and beautiful in their own way. 

Both have titles that don't make sense unless you watched it till the very end which will be revealed that increase the impact of the story. The cheerful and optimistic girl and the antisocial boy hanging out with their own story and adventure to be remembered as a flashback at the last scenes to bring tears to your eyes. Both reminds you to live your life to the fullest and the importance of appreciating your own existence. The stories started in spring. Where the sakura blossoms in spring.  

Similar plots, yet a different story to tell. 

Both have very strong feels and both endings are sad. And also both Heroines are cheerful despite their situations 

+ Both involves one of the main characters dealing with a certain illness + Both of them involve romance and involve high school + Great animes to watch if you are looking for a good tearjerker I recommend both Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso and Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai if you want a great high school romance anime with a great storyline. It will make you laugh and cry and also make you smile.  

Same premise of terminal illness and ensuing relationship development between MC and patient. Your Lie in April hits all the same notes (pun intended) as I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, but better. 

It's almost exactly the same thing. I'd personally argue Shigatsu explores the same subjects more/a little better, but what do you expect, one is a series, one is a movie. One is going to have more time and content than the other. To name some comparisons: Both deal with a nerdy/isolated boy getting attached to a girl with serious health problems. How they deal with that is a major factor in both titles. Hiding these health problems also plays a part in both. 

Both are about a tragic love story. Male protagonist of both anime are aloof and and girl who is the female protagonist changes his life. These shows are really sad cant say much about it or it will get spoiled. 

they both have similar themes of mc doing whatever they want in life/living their best life/cherishing the moment/etc. that type of stuff plus some side romance and cute teenage stuff  

I watched "Your lie in April" before watching this. Every detail from starting to the end felt like the same thing. Both anime are amazing having depressed main characters and a (SPOILER ALERT) dying cheerful girl. I really felt the same way after watching this movie like I felt after watching YLIA.  

If you like suffering emotionally with Your Lie In April, you'll love doing it again with I Want To Eat Your Pancreas  

If you liked how beautifully Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso deals with relationships and the impact some of us can have on others in a short period of time, then you'll definitely love Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai just as much. Both of them have similar themes and messages, likeable female main characters and relatable male protagonists. With stunning visuals, inspiring character development and an overall great story, this movie will hopefully exceed your expectations.  

Both MCs are guys who appears to be emotionless or unhappy. They then both meet a girl who is very energetic and cheerful. Both girls also have health problems which they try to deal with. Very similar in terms of animation and art style. "I want to eat your pancreas" revolves a lot around books, whilst "Your lie in April" is more about music. 

The plots are great, and gets very interesting in the later episodes, the character sketches are also op... personally I really loved both of them 

both are sad romance (personally both made me cry) and both of them are also just really good in general. also cherry blossom, but like sad instead.  

hard to discribe the bigest similaitry whitout spoil. I can just say that both girls have something in common. Both anime are very emotional Caracters have to go further whith them own problems of life. 

Basic Plot Outline is kind of similar but if one likes Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai, the person will absolutely love Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso. 

The theme, elements, the characters' personality, and how the story flows are similar to YLIA. Although the "Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai" is not a genre of music, but when you watch it, you'll remember and have a thought like "Oh, I remember YLIA. It looks like this." I'll recommend you after watching the YLIA, watch this movie. I'm sorry if I'm the one who flooded your house. 

I first watched Shigatsu, so when watching I Want to Eat Your Pancreas, and the story unfolded, i noticed the similarities between them: The two of them have similar characters, you can easily notice this in Kaori and Sakura, cheerful waif- i mean girls, with an illness. Its also noticeable in the MCs and i found Kyouko a little comparable to Tsubaki, same with Issei and Watari. Also, one thing i liked about both is how they have a certain small focus on Spring, April and the blooming of Cherry Blossoms, its quite beautiful. Similiar themes and vibe Great character development as the story progresses, if you didn't like the MCs that much at first, give them a little time. Considered as tear-jerkers by pretty much everyone (and they didn't lie) The fact is, if you liked Shigatsu and watched it first (like me) or vice versa, you will love the other! So, what are you waiting for? Go on and watch them! They are basically look-alikes! read more 

Both the anime delivers power full message and teaches us the true meaning of life , Both have memorable characters and heart braking ending which will make you cry  

They both have the same message and the two main character in each anime have very similar personalities and developments. 

The basis of both anime's are very similar from a story point of view. If you watched "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" and found yourself wanting more, then "Your lie in April" is the step up to that. Vice versa, if the show tugged your heart strings, then this film will do it in similar ways. Both shows have excellent character development, featuring very strong female protagonists that push the boys to new places in their lives. Both are "love" stories in a sense, but both grow into love and do not feel forced. If you like "Your lie in April" then you should watch "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas". Though the latter doesn't have the music. It has the almost same love story and the ending is tragic. :( Both shows portray similar characters : a optimistic, full-with-life girl who tries to share her love for life with a shy, traumatized protagonist. read more 

In essence, both shows face a similar conflict--the female protagonist falls ill and becomes an extravert so that she can spend each day with excitement. She meets the male protagonist, who is an introvert, and her emotional influence leaves a mark on him permanently. Both stories have stellar character development and a heartwrenching, bittersweet ending. If you don't like piano or classical music, then Pancreas is for you and vise versa. I, however, recommend that you see both. 

these series are similiar in alot of aspects and have the same feel to them. these also have beautiful animation and both are pretty sad at times. 

Similarities: Similar character development Similar plot lines and story Romance genre 

Quite Similar story plot with unexpected twist packed with heartwarming moments. This is an amazing tearjerker. 

I can't say to much without spoiling it but there are similar plots and in both the main charachters are complete opposite(extrovert and a introvert) 

The premises are very similar which means that you should probably choose carefully which one you wanna watch first as it makes the other one a little anticlimactic. I personally suggest watching Your Lie in April (Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso) first before I Want to Eat Your Pancreas (Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai). Both are about living with dying (yes i stole it). 

Both anime’s involve the male main character being lonely and depressed men who have no joy in their lives. After which the main girls show up and give the main boys a new meaning and a new happiness in life. Both of these animes are very enjoyable to watch and are easy to binge-watch. 

Anti-social MC meets lively female MC that changes his perspectives A simple character list with easy-to-follow character development You may find yourself on a roller coaster ride of emotions  

Both are dramas with romance elements. Both have similar character development. Both are great stories with similar plot lines. But also.... Both extremely sad and heart breaking. I suggest you to watch both these MASTERPEICES but not in 1 day. For me, both of them were 10/10. 

Depression to the power 100 

I want to eat your pancreas is just a better story in a smaller length than ylia while having a kinda similar plot 

similar story both are romantic and school Same thinking of female mc 

Without giving away too much about the plot for either of these animes, I'll say that both have some... very very very similar events and characters :( 

Both of these anime have romance stories and sad endings that will make us touched and sad. For fans of sad endings I recommend these two anime. 

It’s cute and wholesome for a while, then becomes sad. Like, both the girl characters have a big impact on the main character. So if you like that, watch it! 

these two anime plot are almost the same they both are the very emotional and in my opinion they both are the sadest anime i have ever seen like i still remember how i cried all night thinking about these two anime . and thats all btw this was my first recommendation :)  

both girls have some form of disease killing them and enjoy their last days with their love of their life. 

Both about a girl trying to get close to a guy, while struggling with their own problem. Sakura and Kaori are both quite similar, really free and cheerfull. Difference is, unlike shigatsu wa kimi no uso, kimi no suizou wo tabetai doesent have music. Still, if you liked one, you would totaly like the other. 

If you're a fan of tragic romance then these shows are for you. Both are extremely emotional and follow the romance of a teenage boy and girl. Both girls have illnesses and are very outgoing, whereas both boys are introverted and brilliant. If you get emotional you might want a box of tissues. 

similar premises, ill girl meets awkward guy, both have similar character development, and both make you cry 

they both are same in terms of sadness :( 

while this movie has very obvious cliches about a girl living with some sort of cancer and falling in love. it is much more than that I cant put into words how well it is put together. from the beginning of the movie you know she is going to die but you can't help but feel like there's no possible way that someone like her could die, which is what makes it hit so much harder when it actually happens. the movie doesn't focus at all on how the disease affected her day-to-day life instead, it focuses on the connection that the 2 characters had and how the 2 of them can make a difference in each other's lives without realizing it. when watching this movie there's just something about it that is so feverish, I want to know more about them but I also don't because I'm afraid that if I do I'll love the story between them even more. overall it is an incredible movie about making real connections with people whom you would least expect. while I hate the fact that she does die I also love this movie and have no complaints about it at all read more 

Both male main characters at the beginning of the film are socially detached from the world until they meet the main female character- both with a health problem. Both films revolve about friend ship and the meaning of living. 

Both are Movies with God Tier art style! Both have MC that doesnt give a darn about society Both have almost the same concept but differs in many ways, Main Dude is ignorant about society and then they suddenly met a girl who at first they thought "Eh, Just another one of these, ill forget about her later." but then unknowingly made a deep connection to the girl and actually enjoys to be with her. 

If you like crying or a heavy amount of feels then both of these films have that. Both movies have a string message about doing the most you can in life and some of the struggles certain people have to live with. They both are drama anime with hints of romance here and there. Both also have the male lead who doesn't really try to make that many friends and keeps to themselves, and then they both have the female lead who have disabilities or diseases that they need to live through each day. These two films are really amazing and also have pretty visuals and nice soundtracks and are all together great! read more 

Both are very good movie with a very good story. 

A slice of life movie about a friendship that makes you feel and love the characters along the way. 

Feelings, sad side, tear maker, beautiful characters, the story from the perspective of an apparently bad character. If you liked "Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai""i want to eat your pancreas" so you will love this one more, and it will make you cry from the things written up. enjoy it  

Both Movies Feature a relationship between two people. Both have a wonderful story about how two people grow and learn how to work with each other. Not existing separately but together. 

They are both a drama/romance about a person with a disability and they are both quite sad. 

Both are very depressing but I think best movies of all. Must watch it if you want to learn about life deeply... 

Great Storyline, Animation. Make people cry like hell, so emotional. Nice Message at the End. 

both mc's are antisocial and lives changed by a certain girl. both experienced discrimination and can be blamed on society. 

Similarities: Both are movies Great art style Amazing plot and story Part of the slice of life genre Very sad and full of emotions 

If you want a sad movie to cry to and ya already saw this one you should try this because its sad and a=changes you're perspective on somethins like like this movie does so yeah it also has great animation  

"A Silent Voice" & "I Wanna Eat Your Pancreas" are the only anime movies that honestly made me cry till now. Two of the very few films that had a huge impact on me for a long time. They belong to the MUST WATCH category. They'll break your heart for sure but you'll also get to learn a lot from them! I rewatched the former 5 times within a week & also read the manga (which was my first time reading a manga!). It's like I have an obsession with these two. 

While both animes explore the premise of the dynamic between an anti-social male tsundere protagonist and a diseased/disabled female deuteragonist , they handle the setup and development of the story a little differently. While Silent Voice puts a fresh and new feeling to the entire story by dealing with bullying and disability in a way rarely seen before, I Want To Eat Your Pancreas takes a more predictable approach, however, knowing of its predictability and using it to its advantage. They could definitely be considered tearjerkers, though reducing it to that shows a lack of understanding them. Different approaches yet if you watched one, you should watch the other too. read more 

Both are dramas with a romantic subtext and a character with a disability. The main male characters are socially awkward but unintentionally makes a connection with a female character. Both moviss are really unique and sad. It tells you of people's struggles and the value of life. 

These are both about the mc getting heartbroken and then over it, 

Similar (focus on) emotional beats and tone/atmosphere. Setting/Genre- Relatively down-to-earth Japanese high school drama/romance/tragedy. Both deal with interpersonal relationships, particularly social isolation, life/death/mortality/existentialism, and novelty/experience/perception. 

Both have a quiet socially withdrawn boy and a girl that makes him happy. Both are very emotional and can easily make the emotionally fragile cry. 

Both of these movies are great love stories with plot twists and moments to make you cry. Although the plots are a bit different and the conflicts are different, I believe that if you like one of these movies you'd like the other. Both have very beautiful visuals and the songs/ost are very similar. 

its a more defined version of your name , its not a too typical of a romance movie and its special in its own way . 

- similar vibes - both have good animation and styles of animation are kinda similar - similar feels - both include romance -both have good music! (actually quite similar music at some points) - similar plot turning elements in both  

I'm kind of surprised that people don't usually relate these two. They both have very similar art styles and soundtrack at first. They also both explore a cute adorable romance with an InTeReStInG twist (although the way they handle things from that point on is very different). Pancreas Movie is a bit more edgy, but not too much. They are very different experiences but have enough similarities that if you enjoyed the masterpiece that is Your Name, you will likely enjoy the almost-masterpiece that is Pancreas Movie. 

A story that is just as beautiful and even more compelling characters. If you watched Kimi no Na wa, and it was something you enjoyed, then Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai is the perfect movie to follow up. Drama, romance, a beautiful soundtrack, plot twists, it's all here waiting for you. 

these are both anime movies with stunning visuals, and well written stories. if u havent watched any of these yet i do u hope u watch these movies because they are great. 

Similarities: Both animes have a stunning art style Lost of romance involved with the story Great music, plot and story line 

Although the animation is far superior in "Your Name," "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas" creates an amazing story about two individuals who learn from each other and grow together. The latter has more of a romantic approach, however, "love" simply cannot describe the relationship between our two main characters. Both are great and truly worth the watch! (Also the first anime that ever made me cry as I'm not the most emotional person)  

Both are great romance movies that are very emotional and can leave you feeling heartbroken. 

The main characters of both anime are people who are bored of their regular high school life but they meet people who change them completely. Both are movies which are good for new anime watchers who have difficulty watching longer shows.  

gorgeous art, awesome character dynamics, and emotional as fuck plots all things both of these movies share 

Both are very engaging romance movies. The ending of both the movies are marvelous  

Both anime are similar in the fact that the female mc has a limited lifespan, and as they fall in love it starts getting harder and harder for them to bear with it.  

In similarity, both animes share the tragedy of an ending towards the female heroine. While both would drive their audience to burst out in tears during the final moment, "I Want To Eat Your Pancreas" is more of a depressing and tragic type of love. In contrast, "Plastic Memories" is the polar opposite resembling a wholesome yet tragic type of love. "I Want To Eat Your Pancreas" hit me like a bus with their unexpected turn in plot while "Plastic Memories" had an expected ending that was falling like sand in a hourglass. 

Time is fragile with every second being of it being precious. Spending it with those who we cherish, love, and making fond memories from it, I felt that both works towards the central theme of 'time is of the essence' or “Sometimes you will never know the value of a moment until it becomes a memory.” I highly recommend Plastic Memories if you enjoyed Kimi no Suizou Wo Tabetai and the same goes the other way around.  

Both have a similar story 

Plastic memories on the other hand, is not that friendship kind of anime. Its more of a sad one from the start. But its still good. 

Both anime are very good. Talk about a couple but knew the condition of the opponent that is getting a disease that will make you die after a while. Although the male character knows that she will die, they still spend the time to enjoy the moment with a limited time remaining and make others happy. I won't talk much, you should take a chance to watch Plastic Memories if you watched I Want to eat your pancreas. 

Other than their similarities within their plot, a guy meeting a girl with health problems, the characters in these movies are also quite similar. The story mainly revolves around two characters, a resilient person who does not know the concept of giving up and a person having little to no interest in life; then they meet, and they thrive together; what happened next is simply unexpected. If you want to know what happened next, then you might what to check it out. 

They are both a drama/romance about a person with a disability and they are both quite sad. 

When broken down to the simplest summary, both movies can be described as: "boy meets girl with a health problem." 

Idk man, I just love the depiction of romance from both of these movies 

Love stories with a dying girl settled in a hospital, not much to say about them, they're both pretty average 

Story seems similar, about boy and girl with illness. As the pair of polar opposites interact, their connection strengthens 

Both female protagonists are in fragile health. The male protagonist, even knowing this situation, accepts to stay by her side and tries to fulfill the protagonist's wishes, due to the limitation she faces. 

The same romance genre that involves complete opposites where at one side the girls has that Ho stereotype and the guy is a nerd.  

Similarly very romantic film, virgin outcast MCs, sparkly hot GFs, tragical elements (2nd season for 3D Kanojo) 

It's kinda similar, where the woman try to make her "boyfriend" to get more active. 

watch if you like a good cry 

Both are heartbreaking pieces of art, with an amazing storyline and lots of tears along the way 

Both Clannad and Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai have: -Students that have their emotions revived by the female mc -Fantastic story lines from start til finish -Scenes that will bring out emotions you didn't even know you had (This includes the first season of Clannad too) 

Both is about apathetic guy learning to empathise with the world around them and make human connections. 

Both main characters are very similiar, with both of them supporting each other in some way. While Hyouka being a mystery anime, i find that the main enjoyment in both titles are the characters. Both animes have growth and will make you think!  

If you enjoyed Kimi no suizo wo tabetai I strongly recommend Bunny Girl Senpai. Although it's more or less supernatural, this series beautifully portrays the struggle of life during the years of adolescent's. The character design and development is brilliantly done throughout this series, and the ending is sure to make you cry. 

These two romance/drama anime and movie have deepful meanings and is very touching/emotional. I recommend this anime to those who like calm and touching anime with deepful meanings. 

Plot twist in the middle was very similar to the twist in 'pancreas'. Also some cocepts of story were alike 

Death, suicide, life. What's the meaning for all those? Is there really a point to live? Learning about living and dying, these characters explore themselves. While it may be predictable, the woven messages in these films leaves you dumbfounded beyond words. If you're just looking for a good tearjerker or want to wallow in your misery, go for it. 

Both let you reflect on what you're doing in your youth 

While season 1 of 3D Kanojo is merely okay, it is necessary to watch before season 2. That said, both 3D Kanojo and Kimi no Suizou wo Tabetai are stories about an unlikely young couple who know that they can only be together for a short time. S2 of 3D Kanojo matches this movie in terms of demonstrating just how two people can show each other love and the ways its really changes a person's world. Both are very bittersweet, yet with extremely satisfying conclusions.  

Similar vibe at times, mainly from the main female character who appears very manipulative, and the poster/art of the beach (ocean waves) which has what I'd imagined that scene to be actually play out in IWTEYP.
