I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day
Oshimeter
Synopsis
Her roommate dies, and the teacher announces it like reading off attendance. Class moves on. That's the world Sheena Totsuki lives in, an orphanage that doesn't raise children so much as produce soldiers for a war that's been grinding on so long nobody remembers what peace looks like. Kids get shipped to the front lines and don't come back, and everyone around Sheena has just accepted that as normal. She hasn't. She's the one person in this place who still feels the weight of every empty bed, every name that stops being called. And somewhere in the middle of all that death, she falls in love. This is a girls love story set against one of the bleakest backdrops you could imagine: child soldiers, endless war, institutional numbness, and from what the manga sets up, the romance isn't there to soften things. It makes everything sharper. Caring about someone in a place designed to make you stop caring is its own kind of rebellion. If you liked The Promised Neverland's oppressive institution vibes or Gunslinger Girl's quiet tragedy of kids shaped into weapons, this hits similar notes but threads a love story through the center of it. Studio ROLL2 is adapting the manga for a 2026 TV series, and the fantasy and school elements suggest there's more to this world than just the battlefield. The title tells you exactly what you're signing up for: love with an expiration date.

Warning warning do not watch this unless emotionally prepared for major damage! Heartbreakingky beautiful overall and very thought provoking.
Ep 7 got me cryin
Emotional powerful episode. Very thought provoking. Great music and fun cute scenes.
Overall it was beautiful anime with some nice scenes and stories, but as a whole anime the pacing was way off. In the end, nothing about the world, war or why Mimi is immortal is revealed and concluded. I'm not sure if the story is similar in the manga, but for this single season nothing was wrapped up or explained. The characters don't have enough backstories at all and the whole school and world still feels like a mystery. The part where all the main and side characters are only female is weird also since the school actually has male students and teachers that appear occasionally.
High budget but awful pacing and storyboarding.
This last episode has made me quite confused. Like its wholesome and meaningful that Ari came to peace with Seiran's passing. But as a last episode its so confusing and didn't wrap up anything about the anime. It would have made sense if Ari and Seiran were the main characters though.
I liked it, even if it's a very slow pace
What in the absolute waste of time? Ending a series with an OVA episode? Why not just make this an OVA or something? what the heckk
Now we're talking. I loved how they gave us a break from all the violence just to finally reveal the plot twist. I enjoy subtle horror like this. I am interested to see if Mimi's reveal has anything to do with the girl we saw in the first episode
The story jumps right in so you know what you are getting yourself into. The Art was beautiful and the 3D aspects really stood out. The characters are not one-dimensional. The music was also really good.
I really loved the side couple and the way we really understand every emotion and conflict inside and between characters. The downside of this show is that, after a certain event, the story doesn't change much and just remain as it is. DO NOT WATCH IF YOU ARE LOOKING FOR SOMETHING LIGHT!!
I loved it! It depicted grief SO well, I might have teared up a couple of time during this episode...
I really like how both girls in the argument are right but wrong at the same time:one considering what's best for everyone, the other one only wanting what's best for her lover. But I find it redundant, we have been stuck at this point for like 8/9 episodes.
NOT MY FAVOURITE COUPLE! ngl I'm sobbing
that restoration kiss bloomed so bright it basically rang a dinner bell for the enemy. Sheena's magic is doing stuff nobody at that school accounted for and I need the finale to explain it
The bellflowers during Sheena's apology. Someone on the staff actually looked up what those mean and used them deliberately. Sincerity. Everlasting love. I sat there thinking about that for way too long
Ari turning down Mimi's offer to bring Seiran back hit harder than any battle this show has done. Letting someone stay dead because bringing them back would just trap them forever is such a brutal kind of love
the ending shots of them sleeping together after everything this episode put them through nearly broke me. there is one episode left and i am not ready for whatever it is
Look the do-nothing day and strawberry jam detour felt shoved in right after the heaviest scene of the season. I get that normalcy matters here but the tonal whiplash was rough and it undercut what should've been a slower landing for the reconciliation
The kiss heal scene looked gorgeous but the explosion cutting it off made me yell. Roll2 knows how to ruin a tender moment on purpose
