cheers

Thanks

What a coincidence! I was just looking for Last Order vol4.

I was confused of the storyline until I've read these posts. It is really good to hear that mangaka had some other reason to finish the original series in such a crappy way...

That's good news. Crazyankan, you rule man...

I've got the entire manga series of BAA as a cbr file, this has to be my absolute favorite manga of all time. I wish they had finished the anime, since it followed (somewhat decently) the manga in storyline. The anime ends at volume 1 of the manga, so it leaves you hanging just a bit >.>;; but it's still well worth watching.

i really liked how the story unfolded and character development for alita. this manga imo is a classic. it's a must read if you havent already. only downside is the explicit violence if some cant handle that as for me it was right up my ballpark.

Post by **Libaax** » Tue Jun 07, 2005 12:39 am

Violence is a big part of many mangas so i think most people can handle violence if they have read action mangas before.

I just finished reading Last Order vol 4 and it was some nice action plus the new story is picking up.

nice to hear it's continuing. i thought last order vol 4 was the last of it. this whole series is a must have for any manga reader imo.

Post by **Libaax** » Tue Jun 07, 2005 1:52 am

Plus is the only good sci fi action manga.

I know there is atleast vol 5 and there must more vols after that since the story is only just starting in last order.

Yes, we have lots of volumes to go...

There is definitely going to be a whole arc on Mars and then she'll be back to face you know who.

I was talking about Aga Mbaldi, *SPOILER* the powerful ladder representative who beat Alita when they came to space city Ketheres.

I read up to volume 3 of last order. I was going to continue but the quality was rather bad. lol But I plan to buy as many as possible I like the series alot.

Post by **RedEyes** » Tue Jun 07, 2005 3:36 am

I'm also buying the mangas when they come out.

I have a Last Order vol 4 translation but the quality is more or less the same, so you won't like it I guess

Post by **Grahf** » Tue Jun 07, 2005 8:46 pm

I was suppose to buy volume 3 today but I forgot to bring money with me. SO next week I'll pick it up. XD

Post by **crazyankan** » Tue Jun 07, 2005 8:54 pm

The translation of BAA LO 05 is almost done.
And ^Ripper @ Rippersanime is helping me with the editing part.

I think it will be up in one week

I'll cast blessing on you with my remaining mana/spell points

Cover looks good but I really wonder what those flying plastic bunny/woman combo thingies are...

http://imdb.com/title/tt0437086/

James Cameron thats the cake is gonna direct a movie of this manga... At least they still have the same author writing the movie script.

btw ive been living in a hole and i cant believe i never picked this shit up!

Post by **RedEyes** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 6:37 am

Now this deserves a WTF !?

Cameron + 200 million budget

IMDB says that the main character, Alita, will be done with CG animation. Before reading that, I was thinking of hewt Jessica Alba as Alita.

Post by **Libaax** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 9:07 am

I think its perfect that Alita is done with CG cause no human can do her pantzer kunst without it looking very wierd.

Also i read this news about the alita movie more than a year ago where have you guys been?

Elf and Zwolf have bunny costumes for more attention. They don´t like to be in the shadow of Alita

Alita movie?? mmm I"ll have to look for that. XD

Post by **Libaax** » Wed Jun 08, 2005 12:54 pm

I read in an anime mag recently that the movie will have premiere in 2007. So its two years left.

Hopefully it will rock and start a boom on movies based on mangas.
