KentarЕЌ Hagiwara's 'Tokyo Ghoul', starring Masataka Kubota. premiere at AnimeNYC, Sori told Newsweek that he fully intends to use more characters in a sequel-if audience enthusiasm for his first film merited one. That's a similar strategy to the one producer Kevin Feige uses to oversee the Marvel Cinematic Universe, cherry-picking plot points from comic book source material.

Rather than cram an entire anime-worth of information into two hours, Fullmetal Alchemist suggests that future movie adaptations should leave certain subplots unexplored. Because the film sticks to a couple plot lines and ignores others, we learn where the Homunculi come from quickly, and we only explore the work of other state alchemists long enough to get a disturbing live-action version of that first big chimera reveal.

His film mentions neither Alchehistory nor the Ishvalan Civil War and simply boils down to the Philosopher's Stones: how they're made, who has them, and what Edward and Alphonse have to do to procure one. He dumps Scar, Major Armstrong, and any Homunculi other than Lust, Envy and Gluttony onto the cutting room floor. Sori ties together Arakawa's greatest hits-the Elric boys' fate, Winry and her automail, the three primary Homunculi-but in the interest of time, the filmmaker streamlines the first third of the story. The live-action Fullmetal, like the anime, follows the Elric brothers, Edward (RyГґsuke Yamada) and Alphonse (Atom Mizuishi), as they search for a Philosopher's Stone in the fictional European nation of Amestris.
