Alita: Battle Angel - WARNING: Could get spoilery. Could get NSFW
Just thought with the movie release of Alita, that the subject deserved its very own thread to discuss the new live action film, the old school OVA, or the various manga series. Let's nerd out. Nothing's off limits, so spoil away!
Talking about in the other thread (https://www.tetongravity.com/forums/...heaters-thread) has inspired me to revisit the old manga, so I just uploaded everything I have to my iPad last night. Starting with the original series, "Battle Angel Alita," and going to finish that before diving into the follow-up "Last Order," but going through them made me realize that I don't think I quite finished that, plus now there' the "Martian Chronicle" series to work on! LOTS to catch up on and revisit. Timely Kotaku article too from yesterday:

And a quick primer about the series order: https://kodanshacomics.com/2018/01/2...e-angel-alita/
Anyway, as you all know already from the other thread, I LOVED the movie and walked away from the theater extremely pleased with how Cameron and Rodriguez treated the source material. Sure, there were plenty of changes, but at least they didn't abuse anything and the changes made sense for either quasi-scientific reasons or to achieve that PG-13 rating for box office purposes. Haha. Either way, the new live action release gets 2 hudge thumbs up from me. :yourock:
