The anime adaptation of I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day premiered on July 7 and has aired three episodes, with reviews focusing on its character-driven yuri dynamic and brutal worldbuilding.
The television anime adaptation of Nachi Aono's manga I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day premiered on July 7 on AT-X, Tokyo MX, KBS Kyoto, Sun TV, and BS11. The staff announced the premiere date alongside a second promotional video, key visual, and theme songs: ReoNa performs the opening theme "Amore," and sajou no hana provides the ending theme "Éternel." Yasushi Tomoda directs at studio ROLL2, with Takudai Kakuchi as creative advisor. Jukki Hanada supervises and writes the series scripts, Kyoko Yufu designs the characters, and Yukari Hashimoto composes the music. The cast includes Rie Takahashi as Sheena, Rina Hidaka as Mimi, Kagari Asami Seto as Lizzy, and Yui Ishikawa as Ali Maud, with Yumi Uchiyama and Ai Kayano joining as Fran and Omi.
Reviews of the first three episodes highlight the series' focus on the relationship between students Sheena and Mimi in a vague magical war, rather than on world-building. Anime Feminist's review of the premiere describes a dark yuri story set at an academy where orphans are trained as weapons and emotion is suppressed, introducing Sheena's grief after her roommate's death and Mimi's cheerful but deadly demeanor. Anime News Network's review of episodes 1-3 notes that episode three provides downtime that establishes their friendship, and raises the implication that Mimi may be a reanimated human who regenerates lost limbs. Both reviews emphasize the series' use of violence and grief to explore humanity, with the narrative prioritizing character dynamics and thematic resonance over explaining the war setting.
