All You Need Is Kill director explains why Edge of Tomorrow needed a redux

All You Need Is Killgot a treatment most Japan creators dream of: A Hollywood blockbuster hit starring Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt. Hiroshi Sakurazak’s light novel became international and got more eyes, and interest in the original light novel. But while Edge of Tomorrow drove eyes and interest to Hiroshi Sakurazak’s light novel, like most Western adaptations, the Cruise movie completely failed to capture the true spirit of the original, only using its characters and premise as a backdrop for its own tale and new ending. A new anime adaptation corrects that just a little bit.
