Sounds good.


Its has been so long time since i read vol 5,6 so i am gonna reread them cause the way vol 7 starts looks so alien to me.

I took alittle peak though and saw that we get to know alittle more about Alita and her past when she fight her old instructor.



P.S i refuse to call her Gally. Alita is her "real" name for me plus it sound much better.

Old habits are hard to die. And everytime I buy a new volume it has Gally plastered all over, so it's gonna be a challenge to change. :)

I just finished reading the last installment. I thoroughly enjoyed the series.

Also, was the movie any good? I heard it strayed from the story quite a bit, but was still enjoyable.

I'm contemplating d/l, so I'd just like to know if I'd be wasting my time or not.

If by "movie" you mean the two-episode OVA series, yeah... it's pretty good, I think. Don't watch the dub if you can avoid it, but the animation is pretty nice. It was one of the very first anime I saw, and in fact it's what got me into Alita in the first place.

Each episode is roughly equal in terms of character development and some story elements to the first two volumes, but there are wide plot divergences and a few characters who are completely new. They're essentially shoving a 200+page book into 22 minutes, though, and the results are effective.

In fact, I originally went straight from the two anime episodes to volume 3, when I first got into the series, and never felt a bit of confusion. I didn't actually read the first two volumes until a couple years later, and while I MUCH prefer the manga, the important stuff is still the same.

I prefer Gally, more fitting for a fighting chick and less slutty too. Its shorter and its used in the French books also. Ive actually never used Alita to refer to her before.

I hope the James Cameron movie supposedly coming out in 2009 will be good. Hes been working on it for years. Apparently hes thinking of making 2 more after if its successful.

I heard that he was involved in the making some new "realistic" CGI to make the movie, i think it´s the one that´s also used in Transformers.

Last I checked, the latest volume in English was no. 8, and I think the latest tank in Japan was 10.

To date, there are no scan groups currently following the latest releases of Alita.

Phase 65 spoilers!

- Alita's body basically disintegrates and is dumped down a garbage chute along with the P Box. She isn't dead, although Nova X estimates it got around 80% of her.
- Super Nova blows up Porta-Nova, and the brain chip.
- Nova X jacks out of the system before Frova can come after him.
- Down on the surface, there's two kids and an old-as-shit guy sitting around a campfire. They're counting the cables connected to Tiphares, and they say there are 11. The old man tells them there were 12, but one broke loose and basically caused hell, which freaks out the kids a bit.
- Landa Namnam and the robot country guys find Alita's body, which has basically crumpled to dust apart from her brain chip. They're deliberating over what to do, when...
- They're visited by the God of Robots, which turns out to be a giant hologram of Arthur.
- He asks for the Fata Morgana, which he uses in order to...
- Manifest a huge number of holograms which include every major and semi-major person in the series thus far (including Kayna and The Sonic Finger [!])
- I think he convinces the robots to help rebuild her
- The end are two pages of black, with a small "dun" sound effect on one, which I take to mean that she's being rebooted.

Are the BAA chapters released weekly? Or do they come out in whole bulk of a volume?

Well, THAT'S a hell of a cliffhanger...

And nobody out there wants to translate this on a regular basis? 15 groups for Naruto and none for Alita...

There ain't no justice.

Actually there is 41 R-tard groups who worked on Narutard since Baka-updates opened its manga site. Imagine before(x10) and the ones not recorded on Baka-updates(x50)...
R-tards are the majority around the world.

61-64 + "another story" are 75% done. (59-64+another story=LO 10)
