Summary
The complete cyberpunk classic， now a major Hollywood film！ This box set includes all five volumes of Battle Angel Alita plus a brand new book of short stories - more than 2，000 pages of manga - in a collector's box set with special extras。
In a dump in the lawless settlement of Scrapyard， far beneath the mysterious space city of Zalem， disgraced cyber-doctor Daisuke Ido makes a strange find: the detached head of a cyborg woman who has lost all her memories。 He names her Alita and equips her with a powerful new body， the Berserker。 While Alita remembers no details of her former life， a moment of desperation reawakens in her nerves the legendary school of martial arts known as Panzer Kunst。 In a place where there is no justice but what people make for themselves， Alita decides to become a hunter-killer， tracking down those who prey on the weak。 But can she hold onto her humanity as she revels in her bloodlust？

Un buen cómic con un inicio trepidante pero que va perdiendo fuelle al final。 La historia de una niña cyborg que acaba con asesinos esta teñida de tragedia y el final es muy impactante。

2300-ish pages of pure delight！ What a fantastic series！ I was a bit disappointed with the last 3-4 pages of the original 9 book series， but there were other stories that followed， that furthered the story， so not disappointed anymore。 The series had everything！ Can't do anything else but highly recommend it！！！ 2300-ish pages of pure delight！ What a fantastic series！ I was a bit disappointed with the last 3-4 pages of the original 9 book series， but there were other stories that followed， that furthered the story， so not disappointed anymore。 The series had everything！ Can't do anything else but highly recommend it！！！ 。。。more

Here's another instance of me failing to understand the hype around a manga series。To sum up， I liked enjoyed the first two volumes， then hated volumes 3 and 4， and from then on， volumes 5 to the end （9） were a lot of meh mixed with tons of annoyance other various things， which had my interest decrease with each passing volume。Things that bothered me， in no specific order。— Gally's design。 Or rather the way the author drew her mouth （and that of many of the few other female characters actually）， Here's another instance of me failing to understand the hype around a manga series。To sum up， I liked enjoyed the first two volumes， then hated volumes 3 and 4， and from then on， volumes 5 to the end （9） were a lot of meh mixed with tons of annoyance other various things， which had my interest decrease with each passing volume。Things that bothered me， in no specific order。— Gally's design。 Or rather the way the author drew her mouth （and that of many of the few other female characters actually）， which reminds me of how Sanbe Kei， the author of "Erased"， "For the Kid I Saw in my Dreams" （I think that's the English title？） and many other titles， draws female characters' mouths and which I hate。— Or her whole character actually。 I couldn't get myself to like her in any way。 Which is kind of a bother since she's the protagonist。— How things pop out of nowhere， starting from the motorball （volumes 3-4） and everything after that。 Like， suddenly it goes in a certain direction to widen the universe， but nothing's actually linked。 It just makes it as if the author suddenly wanted to draw this and had this put into the story because why the hell not。— Composition。 Not really sure if it's only in the translated version but it didn't seem like it， but how there's an endless number of footnotes to explain concepts used in the series。 Also， how everytime there's a new robot-thingy that appears， it needs a specific panel to explain what it is。 Which completely breaks the pace of the story。— It's kinda gory。 Like， drawings are quite detailed， but it seemed to me to be even more the case when it was about dismembered bodies。 And brains。 Somehow there has to be lots of brains appearing。— The fact that there's actual interesting ideas but they're aren't properly used。 Specifically， the opposition between cyborgs and the people from "above"。 I don't really want to spoil it since it only appears in the latest volumes （which speaks to how it's not used）， but that was the actual interesting thing that would have been worth 9 volumes of story。— Motorball。 I just kinda hated that and it needs to be mentioned on its own。Still， I have to give credits to the quality of the box set， which is pretty rare for a French edition。I actually left the rating at 6/10 on myanimelist， but for some reason， it equals a 2/5 rating here。 Don't ask me why。 😅 。。。more

I can't say anything more expressive than I should have read this decades ago， it was my failure， one I've just fixed it！Give it a try in case you didn't read it in the past。 I can't say anything more expressive than I should have read this decades ago， it was my failure， one I've just fixed it！Give it a try in case you didn't read it in the past。 。。。more

I read this as part of a reading challenge， for which I needed to find a book that has a movie based on it coming out in 2019。 I loved Avatar， and knew that I wanted to see Alita: Battle Angel， so this was a no brainer。 I'm a graphic novel person， but I've never really gravitated to Manga before， other than a brief infatuation with Planetes， Volume 1。 So it is genuinely with surprise that I need to report I fell for Gunnm *hard*， while the movie left me feeling pretty *meh*。It wasn't a love-at-f I read this as part of a reading challenge， for which I needed to find a book that has a movie based on it coming out in 2019。 I loved Avatar， and knew that I wanted to see Alita: Battle Angel， so this was a no brainer。 I'm a graphic novel person， but I've never really gravitated to Manga before， other than a brief infatuation with Planetes， Volume 1。 So it is genuinely with surprise that I need to report I fell for Gunnm *hard*， while the movie left me feeling pretty *meh*。It wasn't a love-at-first sight thing。 The first storyline of Gunnm left me yawning a little， and not terribly invested in this world。 The plot felt mostly like an excuse for fighting， and some of the more annoying manga tropes - a sexy female lead with no other women in sight， and a visual style that is all about whipping hair and big eyes， and world-building that seem unnecessarily weird， just annoyed me。But from the second story arc， my infatuation grew。 A story arc which comes across as painfully emo and irritating in the movie， is much more mature （and yes， darker） in the manga， the very ridiculousness and immaturity of the love interest driving the plot into more poignant， not less， territory。 It takes a certain flair to introduce a love interest who hijacks and rips peoples spines out for money， and the shifting moral universe that Alita/Gunnm has to navigate moves to centrestage at this point， driving character development and audience engagement for the rest of this collection。 As the action scenes decrease in frequency， Kishiro gets more innovative with panel layouts， and the simplicity and power of the art became a real draw for me。 The book starts to draw （heh！） a much wider range of female characters， and the growing cast gives the sense of shifting understandings of goodies and baddies， what survival choices are acceptable and which are not， and even what strategies to create change are useful and which are not - and how you recover from a bad choice， and a devastating outcome。And yes， it is still manga。 So somehow this is explored through plots which are totally cheesy （but never predictable！）， worldbuilding which is both very detailed and yet based on whacky ideas about technology， and not infrequent boobs （and abs） shots。 The fan service was more mild than I expected， though， more gender equal than I expected， and not particularly irritating to me。 YMMV。 Oh， and a lot of whipping hair。I honestly could care less if there is a sequel to Alita: Battle Angel， but I've already bought Battle Angel Alita: Last Order （Omnibuses）。 I haven't felt this invigorated around graphic storytelling for quite some time。**Read for 2019 Reading Challenge #1。tA book becoming a movie in 2019 。。。more

Full of over-the-top action sequences， larger-than-life characters， and some rewarding， incremental world-building。

Battle Angel Alita was definitely the most consistently weird book/manga I have read in a while。 The essence of cyberpunk/biopunk， every panel in this manga has another STRANGE and weird image。 The illustration gets better and better as the series progresses but unfortunately so does the fan service。 In traditional manga fashion， the 'technology' and 'science' doesn't actually make any sense and often seems pulled out of a hat at the last minute。 But worth it for the wild wackiness and sad lonel Battle Angel Alita was definitely the most consistently weird book/manga I have read in a while。 The essence of cyberpunk/biopunk， every panel in this manga has another STRANGE and weird image。 The illustration gets better and better as the series progresses but unfortunately so does the fan service。 In traditional manga fashion， the 'technology' and 'science' doesn't actually make any sense and often seems pulled out of a hat at the last minute。 But worth it for the wild wackiness and sad loneliness of everyone in the desolate， post-apocalyptic， technology-driven future。 。。。more

I can see now why this series is a manga cult hit， to say nothing of why James Cameron bought the rights。 The story and art both hit their stride at the beginning of the sixth volume and took off: while it all started off rough and， from a story perspective sort of disjointed， by the end of volume 6 you don't want to put it down。Though the connection with the "Last Order" series means the very end of this one doesn't happen （it's a sequel - whaddaya want？）， as a stand alone story it left a big s I can see now why this series is a manga cult hit， to say nothing of why James Cameron bought the rights。 The story and art both hit their stride at the beginning of the sixth volume and took off: while it all started off rough and， from a story perspective sort of disjointed， by the end of volume 6 you don't want to put it down。Though the connection with the "Last Order" series means the very end of this one doesn't happen （it's a sequel - whaddaya want？）， as a stand alone story it left a big smile on my face and hope that maybe we can escape our karma。。。 。。。more
