The television anime adaptation of Nachi Aono's manga I Want to Love You Till Your Dying Day premiered on July 7, 2026. The announcement in June confirmed the full production team, including director Yasushi Tomoda at studio ROLL2, series script supervisor and writer Jukki Hanada, character designer Kyoko Yufu, and composer Yukari Hashimoto. ReoNa performs the opening theme 'Amore,' and sajou no hana provides the ending theme 'Éternel.' The main cast includes Rie Takahashi as Sheena, Rina Hidaka as Mimi, and others. The manga, which began serialization in Comic Yuri Hime in 2018 before moving online, is published in English by Kodansha USA, with the ninth compiled volume shipping on July 16.

The premiere episode, reviewed by Anime Feminist, establishes a brutal world: an academy where orphans are raised as weapons and emotion is suppressed. The episode focuses on Sheena, who struggles with grief after her roommate's death, and Mimi, a cheerful but deadly student. The review highlights the series' use of violence and grief to explore humanity, and the complex dynamic between the two girls, who hold opposing views on their existence. The series thus combines yuri themes with horror-military elements, delivering a story that balances emotional depth with graphic violence.
