Fresh and Exciting

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

From the get-go I'm already know there's no way a 2 episode OVA anime can do justice for the series which is considered a classic of the sci-fi manga genre but the amount of potential though out the OVA still make me mad because how much awesome it can be if the studio take it seriously.The anime not a complete failure in any mean cause the animation is good and the world set up is damn near perfect so I hope in the future Robert Rodriguez and James Cameron will bring me a Alita Battle Angel live action movie true to its name.

Um..Dude? The Doc's name is Daisuke Ido. The spine thief Gally falls in love with is called Yugo. Yep.

This is the one that taught me not to judge an anime by its cover. I expected an hour of mindless violence along with a weak story line. Instead, I found myself in a very deep and well developed world for the short time spent in it. It was all story, and an incredibly imaginative place perfect for the story.It was definately too short. It could have had a great and long lasting series life if they had chosen one. But it was none the less, an enjoying ride, and not a moment of wasted time.

This feature deals with the possibility of full cybernetic replacement of the frail human body and the effects this may have on society and the individual. What kind of value would be placed on human life? What capabilities do you build into a machine body? Can a human brain thus sustained, have a soul? There is plenty of action and even a love interest. It's an anime' classic that should be required viewing for any anime' fan. And a great starter for anyone wishing to try anime'. Be advised, though an animated feature, "Gunnm" is graphicly violent. It is NOT a cartoon. No cute bunnys. "Gunnm" (Battle Angel) is an incredibly well animated adaptation of a popular Manga (Japanese Comic Book Style). The only drawback is that their is only one and apparently no plans to continue the work in Anime'. The Manga however... continues.
