All You Need Is Kill

All You Need Is Kill

In a world on the brink of extinction from attacks by alien beings called "Mimics," the United Defense Force forms a unified military front. Soldiers equipped with advanced exoskeleton battle suits are sent to fight the invaders. New recruit Keiji Kiriya dies almost immediately on his first mission, only to wake up moments before his unit is scheduled to engage the Mimics. Realizing he is trapped in a time loop that resets every time he dies, Keiji uses each cycle to improve his combat abilities and develop strategies against the Mimics. Through countless repetitions of the same battle day, he strives to escape the loop by mastering survival and overcoming the alien threat.
