>100 times better than that hollywood's movie

>>280901224 (OP)
what's the story of how this got adapted
was it even a notably big hit?

>>280901224 (OP)
I remember anon posted it here, it wasn't that great, full of silly anime cliches

>>280901224 (OP)
I remember reading this after I found out that the movie was based on a manga. I thought it was pretty good. Short action series that does what it wants to do well enough and doesn't draw things out too long.

I need to know now, know now
Can you love me again?

>the hollywood's

Mr. Wood would like a word with you

>>280901224 (OP)
Rare case of the OG being dogshit in comparison. The Edge of Tomorrow mogs the shit of the the manga

I liked both, it was a decent adaption for Hollywood standards

>>280901224 (OP)
Both the movie and the manga were pretty good. Edge of Tomorrow is a rare instance of the Hollywood movie adaptation being substantially different yet still faithful to the source material.

>>280902019
peak kino

gotta rewatch the movie for like the 11th time now

>>280901224 (OP)
eh, i liked the tom cruise movie more than the manga

>>280901224 (OP)
>100x better
Not really, but the novel had it's moments.
That said you can't expect Hollywood to do faceless rando protags spending half the movie fighting in their airtight power armors with their faces being obscured.
Also you need a big boss fight and you can't do that if aliens arr rook the same and MC slags it out with FeMC instead of killing big bad alien at the end.
Very likely people writing for the movie decided that western audience would be too dumb to understand the time travel system so they replaced it with - kill the queen to get good ending reset.

>movie was based on a manga
Pretty sure it was based on the same novel as the manga.
Bot are adaptations even if movie basically invented it's own version of the story with couple of similarities and everything else rewritten.

>>280904408
>substantially different yet still faithful
They kept Full Metal Bitch and alien invasion + looping but changed everything else.
Movie was great, but I definitely wouldn't call it faithful.

>>280901224 (OP)
SG did the whole time travel thing a lot better and felt more dynamic with its story.

>>280905128
Same, it's just hard to beat Okabe as an MC.

>>280901962
orginal source is the novel not manga

>>280901224 (OP)
You can say that about any shitty manga and you would still be right

book > hollywood movie > manga
the book is so fucking good

I like how Keiji's actions complicated the hell out of the situation for the higher-ups at the end of the story. He killed Rita, their greatest war hero, their public icon, and their greatest asset, but at the same time ALSO killed more mimics in one battle than Rita did in her entire career, alone, proving himself to be an even greater asset than Rita ever was. Give him a court marshal and a firing squad? Put him on the front lines? He was already there and fucking THRIVED. What the hell do they do with him?

In the end, he was imprisoned for like three days, then released and given a medal instead, and transferred to Rita's squad as her replacement. They gave him a callsign, "Killer Cage", obviously both an insult because he killed Rita, they can't pronounce his name correctly, and because he's a mimic slaughterer, but he instantly took to that callsign. It's good.

Didn't the anime film come out months ago? What's going on

>>280905002
The movie wins just because Tom Cruise is based and enforced practical effects for the exoskeletons, even if the other actors complained about it.
>exoskeleton designs
a big improvement desu, Rita using a helicopter blade as a sword is even more anime than the giant battleaxe.
>alien design
not a fan of the ball with teeth design, but the movie aliens aren't better either, so it's a sidegrade imo.
>ending
arguably better in the movie. the alpha dying in the past is kinda convoluted and third act of the movie was odd, but still better than Rita dying in a 1v1 because they both got stuck in the timeloop.

all in all, both the movie and the manga are enjoyable for what they are, isn't the movie the best "adaptation" out of all western adaptations anyway?
also what happened to Rita's prequel? they were shooting a movie about Rita's battle in Verdun.

>>280901224 (OP)
This was my gateway to anime believe it or not

>>280901224 (OP)
And how is the anime?

>>280908207
>>280909199
not out yet, it was announced a few months ago

>>280909427
I think it got shown at some festival, no proper release yet though

>>280909062
this, cruise’s movie autism worked to its benefit. you even get the metacommentary where cruise is portrayed as an abject coward at the start.

>cant stop thinking of hollywoods movie
rent free

>>280909062
>the alpha dying in the past is kinda convoluted
I see people say this but I never found it that confusing. The Alpha exists chronologically continuous, meaning it exists outside of time. It's the server that manages loop requests from the Omegas, that's how the Omegas change position every loop, because they get information from the Alpha. So when Cage killed it in the future and then died, covered in Alpha blood, his death triggered a loop request, but the dying Alpha couldn't manage it correctly and sent him too far, then died in the past. You could say the past Alpha just dropped dead because it died horribly in the future.

It all made sense to me, and made the golden ending feel very earned.

>generic waifubait female MC
What the fuck are you talking about

>>280909880
I guess when you explain it like that it works, I just wished that the movie made it a bit clearer.
Also I think the third act is weaker overall because it feels different from the first half. I can enjoy rewatching the the first half every time. I guess that's the strongest part of any timeloop story.

>>280901224 (OP)
The movie isnt bad at all, at its worst its a completely serviceable adaptation. Way better than others.
GUNM / Battle Angel Alita was also good, but the "lets put big eyes on the FeMC because anime" decision didnt contribute to the movie, I dont want to be near the substances that the director were smoking to make him think that was a good idea.

>>280909900
what

>>280909062

Were we given any more updates on that sequel novel Hiroshi Sakurazaka was working on?

>>280901224 (OP)
Like Death note.

>>280901224 (OP)
I honestly thought the hollywood movie was better. This came out in I think 2014 that was when I read the novel before the movie came out and then I didn't watch the movie till 2017 because I thought
>lol Hollywood adaptation
but it actually was good amazingly and better than the original. Tom Cruise can't be beat I guess.
Same happened when Top Gun Maverick turned out as good as Top Gun despite me thinking it never could

The movie is arguably the best Muv-Luv Alternative adaptation out there.

>>280901224 (OP)
Watching Tom Cruise die over and over was very therapeutic.

>>280901224 (OP)
Yeah but the Hollywood movie had a happy ending, so it's better by default. Sorry I don't make the rules.

>>280909900
>generic waifubait female MC
Retard

>>280901224 (OP)
Nah, the movie is actually better. Based Tom Cruise.

>>280901224 (OP)
I genuinely thought it was one of those extremely rare instances where the Hollywood adaptation was unironically better than the source material. Except for the awful title.
