Why Is It Called I Want To Eat Your Pancreas
"I Want To Eat Your Pancreas": Seriously, What Were They Thinking?
Okay, let's be honest. I Want To Eat Your Pancreas. What a title, right? It's either the most bizarre romantic gesture ever, or someone needs a serious anatomy lesson.
My initial reaction? Complete and utter bewilderment. Did I accidentally stumble into a zombie romance novel? Was there a cannibalism subplot I missed?
The movie poster didn't exactly help. A girl with sunshine smile? And the pancreas thing? Major mixed signals.

Let's Talk About That Title
Seriously, who thought this was a good idea? I can’t be the only one who initially found it...disturbing. It sounds like something out of a horror film.
Imagine telling your friend, "Hey, wanna watch I Want To Eat Your Pancreas?" Their reaction alone is worth the price of admission. Probably. Maybe with a concerned expression.
It’s definitely a conversation starter. Though maybe not the kind of conversation you want to have at a first date. Just a thought.
Unpopular Opinion Time: It's Kinda...Awkward
Don't get me wrong, the story itself is beautiful and poignant. But that title just hangs there. A bizarre, unsettling cloud over an otherwise lovely film.
I feel like they were trying to be edgy and memorable. And they definitely succeeded. But at what cost? My appetite, maybe? (Just kidding… mostly.)
I appreciate a good metaphor, but this one is a little on the nose. Or, you know, on the organ.
Could They Have Picked a Better Title?
Absolutely! There are countless themes and motifs in the story. Something that hints at fleeting beauty, friendship, or even shared secrets would have been much more appealing.
How about "Living Beside You"? Or "Sakura's Secret"? Even "The Unseen Bond" sounds less… predatory.
Seriously, anything but the pancreas thing. I’m pretty sure it scared off a lot of potential viewers.
The Power of Word-of-Mouth (and a Very Strange Title)
Despite my reservations, the film became a hit. Why? Because the story is genuinely touching. And, let's face it, that title sparked curiosity.
Maybe the shock value actually worked in its favor. After all, we're talking about it, aren't we?
It's like that weirdly catchy song you can't get out of your head. You hate it, but you can't stop humming it. "I Want To Eat Your Pancreas"… shudders.
So, What's the Verdict?
The movie? Great! Made me cry. Would recommend. Just prepare yourself for the title.
The title itself? Still weird. Still makes me a little uncomfortable. But hey, at least it's memorable.
Maybe I'm just being overly sensitive. Or maybe, just maybe, someone in marketing had a very strange sense of humor. Either way, I Want To Eat Your Pancreas. Never forget. Even if I want to.
