Is I Want to Eat Your Pancreas on Netflix?

At the time of writing, I Want to Eat Your Pancreas is available on Netflix in some territories, but not in America, Canada, or the UK.

This situation could obviously be subject to change, but Aniplex – the company responsible for the film – rarely makes changes to the way it distributes material. So right now, if you’re in any of those stated countries, watching the film will require you to go elsewhere.

When and where can I watch I Want to Eat Your Pancreas?

Right now, unfortunately I Want to Eat Your Pancreas is unavailable for streaming other than Netflix in specific countries.

That means that if you want the film, you have to purchase it. You can either get a physical copy of the film on Blu-ray or DVD via Rightstuf, or you can purchase the film digitally via iTunes.

The movie actually did play US in theatres for a brief time back in 2019, notably at the Animation Is Film Festival in Los Angeles. 

I Want to Eat Your Pancreas is based on the 2015 web novel by Yoru Sumino, so if you’re looking to ingest the story in other ways, reading it is another option.
