 @MidlifeCrisisJoe Even with the fiction this story is pretty boring.

@MidlifeCrisisJoe Not just that but even adapting a Japanese work can't be done too faithfully or it will lose American audiences. I've seen a synopsis of the original comic of Edge of Tomorrow/Live, Die, Repeat and I can promise you the Japanese version of it would have bombed. There are just things that we either don't get or we find superfluous to the story that happen in their style of storytelling.

I don't see the fuss about this show at all. It started off strong but it became very tedious. It was all "Oh no. We can't do that now because of Japanese customs and stuff." Maybe that's what Japan was really like. I don't know but it doesn't make for compelling storytelling.
