Battle Angel Alita

He, don't worry, I rather have you doing it slowly but consistenly. You're doing a good job. And for some reason, nobody seems to have any interest in picking up LO, which blows my mind.

Post by **inkthinker** » Sun Jan 21, 2007 7:03 am

Yeah, it's a mystery to me as well... LO is something that you would think a scan group somewhere would totally make into a feature title and pick up on a regular basis, but for some reason no-one does.

I'll take whatever I can get, whenever I can get it. I've bought all the stuff you can get in English legitimately, and as soon as another volume hits the shelves here I'll step on your granny to get to it first, but in the meantime...

Well it might be a little hard to translate so not many translators are up for the job(only speculation), it's also licensed and there is someone doing the series already, so this pretty much lowers the number of teams who wants to work on it.

Post by **inkthinker** » Mon Jan 22, 2007 4:32 am

Hasn't stopped people from translating dozens of other titles...

Yep, if some little bitches that are after some nerdish i-fame want to take up a project, they won't have too much problem doing it. Licensed, scanlated or not.

THis is probably the best news of the week. Or maybe not, but it ranks high.

Thanks to you and all the team!

He's really opening up on the back-story for his crazy world. And his drawing style is getting better and better. Those fights with Vilma were awesome, the dynamics in the fights are breathtaking.

We have started to translating Gunnm Another Story - Bashaku Ando. Should take less time then LO 9 ^^

Post by **Albator** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 1:17 am

I never heard of it, what's that? Some short stories? Parallele story?

Post by **ShinigamiGuts** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 2:36 am

Could be the side story of Alita playing motor ball, or the side story or her being a bounty hunter.

Post by **crazyankan** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 5:23 am

It´s a side story of Koyomi and Master Den.
It´s about 60 pages long and it came out before Phase 64.

Post by **Albator** » Mon Mar 05, 2007 1:28 pm

Sexy.

The barjack arc was great. Gally's design was weird sometimes (when she went all maniac), but Den/Kaos was a great character. I really want to see what happend with Den.

That's new and different... I've seen scans out there of three other "side stories" (one about Ido before he met Alita, one about Alita in her post-motorball/pre-Zapan days, and one about Alita soon after she became a Tuned), but since Viz hasn't announced any moves to publish this material it's hard to keep up with it when it comes out.

Seeing Gally would be badass as an assassin.

What are these extras i hear? Are they already out?

I am alittle behind you guys on the main story cause i buy the books now that Last Order is out in book form. I have vol 7 waiting for me to read.

Post by **Albator** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 4:53 pm

You haven't miss that much in terms of Gally's story. However you are missing the whole Caerula arc, which you should look forward to.

Post by **crazyankan** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 7:11 pm

The old extra stories can you find here http://www.rippersanime.com/index.php?page=Bittorrent
[Manga] Battle Angel Alita (Volumes 1-9 + Extra Stories) [Rippersanime.com]

And I am done with "another story". Only need some proofreading.

Post by **Finito** » Sat Mar 10, 2007 11:31 pm

Oh, I've read those side stories, I got those big books at home lol, French edition for the win.

In the torrent file, the extra stories jump from 1 to 3, is it an error or is 2 not done yet.
