Go watch the live action movie or what ever you should call edge of tomorrow as fast as possible if you like all you need is kill. I mean, I don't know what the original version is. is the original the novel version or the manga cuz it cant be the movie since it came out after the the release of the other two or is it like a real book or something? i dont know but i can tell you guys the movie was awesome!
and you can really see the similarities. the monsters are called mimics
rita vratarski is the female character that has had the power before the main character did, but lost it somehow.

The Novel is the original, the Manga is an adaptation by the artist of Hikaru no Go, Death Note, and Bakuman.

I'm probably going to see it in theaters soon, but I don't really have the incentive; Didn't really care for the Manga.

The movie was great. I don't regret watching it, and it did spur me on to order the novel from Haika Soru's site.

Yeah either the idea was stolen or sold. When I first saw the previews for Edge of Tomorrow, I automatically thought All You Need is Kill. lol. What if they would've handed out free All You Need is Kill volumes at its premier screening.

I hated the official English publication of the novel, they took out all of Yoshitoshi Abe's illustrations and the translations were completely American-slang liberalized with unnecessary cuss words and profanity every other sentence.

While I second the frustration with the illustrations, you're exaggerating on the cursing. It was only in the first few chapters that were filled with swearing, and it serves to get the reader engaged in what a horrific FUBAR situation the Mimic war is; after you get past that, it tapers off quite a bit. Rita's chapter in particular has very little profanity.

The movie played it way safer, it would had been better than the manga had the ending not been a giant unnecessary cop out. Seriously the ending alone takes off a few points for what could had been a really really good movie.

Indeed. For a Hollywood action flick, I thought the ending was fairly satisfying.

I thought the movie was pretty entertaining, but All You Need is Kill is a better title than Edge of Tomorrow. If I'm not mistaken, in Japan the movie keeps the title of its source material.

I cant agree to this at all, its common for retcons to happen in stuff like kids films but in actual action movies like this thats nit the norm, no matter what way you look at it the ending was a cop out.

The bitter irony is we finally get a good Hollywood adaptation of a Japanese novel (along with a 90% Rotten Tomatoes rating and 8.2 on IMdB)...

And it tanks in the U.S.

Foreign box office results don't save movies that tank in America. If they did, Pacific Rim would have gotten a sequel.

It's not a live action movie but the story is based from "All You Need Is Kill", but it's NOT the same. But anyways, I'm looking forward to watch that movie. (Yep I haven't watched it yet, I'm waiting for the blu-ray version to come out)

I watched the movie a few weeks ago, my conclusion was that it was decent movie and that was it, I just read the manga and I have to say it's much better than the movie.

I had no idea Edge of Tomorrow had relations to light-novels and mangas when I went to see it. Pretty interesting. I also saw the movie "Oldboy" and found out it started as a manga afterwards.

But Edge of Tomorrow was really good. I thought it wasn't going to be that great before seeing it, but I was wrong for sure. Some plot holes, but overall really good watch.

And the ending for the manga was better? Whether the movie's ending was perfect or not, I think the movie offers the best and most detailed ending of this manga's universe.

Also, what is the "retcon" you mean exactly? Saw the movie over a month ago.

Holy crap this movie was great but I was even more surprised to find out that it was based on an LN. I thought it was a bit random that the battle suit's language was Japanese but it's all clear to me now.

tl;dr Crew member killed an alpha and they lived in the loop until the ending occurred.

I liked the manga ending more, but the latter half of the manga was too rushed.

I think the movie did bout 60% of the stuff better than the manga. Would have been much better if they had had a better pick than Cruise. Not against his acting, but I don't think he was the most suitable guy for this role.
I definitely have superpowers. I can feel it in my balls.
