Anime Feminist reviews the premiere of I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day, set at an academy where orphans are trained as weapons and emotion is suppressed. The episode introduces Sheena, who struggles with grief after her roommate's death, and Mimi, a cheerful but deadly student. The review highlights the brutal worldbuilding and complex yuri dynamic.
The first episode opens with a girl dying in the rain, setting the tone for a world where death is routine. Sheena Totsuki is unable to suppress her grief after her roommate is killed, making her an outlier among students trained to be emotionless weapons. When she meets Mimi, a girl covered in blood who is cheerful and unbothered by murder, the series establishes a yuri relationship built on opposing worldviews. The show juxtaposes brutal violence with teenage life, creating a haunting atmosphere that the review calls excellent yuri and storytelling.
