My only hope is that the movie will keep true to the feeling of the manga and not turn out the way the Hitman movie did... Nice movie, but had very little to do with the games it was supposedly based on (Timothy Oliphant instead of David Bateson (the guy 47 is modeled after), wtf?). Sorry for the OT ...

I'm fairly certain we've had this discussion before, but I don't remember which thread it was...

Anyhow... The reason the damascus steel is so incredibly hard is because of the carbon nano-tubes in the material, combined with traces of other elements. It's theorized that the ore that was originally ...

@Cailon:
I realised my spelling mistake right after I posted it but i didn't bother correcting myself... xD glad you agree with my suggestion though...

if an english word should be used at all, wouldn't Raven be better? (Don't remember the original japanese word)

TL Note: The old translation as well as the kanji is Razor, but the furigana has it as Kuringe (クリンゲ), dunno if someone who knows german can make out something from it.
die Klinge - a blade.

Well, for once I think Viz actually succeded in a somewhat acceptable translation. Since the kanji is ...

anyone else actully fight ?

i do some Bujinkan Ninpo Taijutsu from time to time... and no, there are no competitions for that art other than All-style Open... Mainly to keep the old traditions intact, which at the same time means that if you would actually use the techniques in a fight you'd end ...

1. Made Makaku a freaky worm- body.
2. Fucked up the Berzerker body and gave it to Zapan (Who subsequently destroyed the scrapyard... Yay!).
3. Let Ido accidentally die in the same event and revived him only to show him my brainchip. (kyahaha)
4. Which caused him to go into a psychological ...

Well, it's not like I want this to turn into a H manga, just thought I'd add a comment to the ongoing (totally crazy) discussion...

Have you ever seen James Bond?
And you are asking why a Agent needs a vagina and nippels?

Not THAT kind of an agent.

She was more of a terminator than a spy. And even T-X just showed breasts, not nipples.

I am not saying that she is asexual or anything, just that there is a possibility that ...

about that thingy with the orbital ring being centered above the equator:

since the whole earth was fucked up bad once by an asteroid (or whatever, don't remember exactly), it's entirely possible - at least in theory, and that's what we're discussing anyway - that the force from the impact altered ...

and even if that weren't the case, alot of time has passed since the world we know of was fucked up by the meteor and the winter... it's possible that a vulcanic island sprung up from nowhere... or something similar...

honored members and followers of the religion known as BAA (joking ) consider the following scenario:

Alita links up with her former comrades of the Panzer Kunst, reestablish the former might of the art and goes to war against ladder...

my bad then, I guess... anyways, thx alot

seems that the link for 71 is fubar too... link to 71 appriciated!

well, i don't know how big it is, but you must also consider that Alita isn't that big physically (mentally is a whole other story...), so a weapon that looks huge in her hands might not be that huge when compared to someone bigger...

what you just read is the chapter (phase) and what's coming (hopefully) is the whole Volume (book)...

haven't read the chapter yet, but i suppose that it's just as good as they usually are...

Even if Ghost in the Shell is a cyberpunk manga too, like BAA, I wouldn't quite put them under the same roof... The GitS movie resembles Blade Runner a bit... The manga is a little more humorous and I find it somewhat different from BAA in terms of atmospere and "feeling"... Personally I prefer ...

...

Jeez, what a discussion...

I hope you're gonna do a full volume release too... I really like to have the whole volumes (even if I usually buy them when they're released in the west)...

I'm free at least every third week so I'll be glad to help as much as I can.

Most mangas I've seen in japanese are top-to-bottom, but whatev...

Sorry if I seemed like an ass to you sergio. Yes I disagree with you, but as I stated in my reply I find this discussion somewhat pointless... Of course you're entitled to your opinion, but I find this discussion ridiculous...

Crazyankan, jag har addat dig nu.
Jag tror jag överreagerade lite i min ...

Crazyankan, it's good you won't be reversing/mirroring the pages of BAALO, but why is the pages reversed on the original BAA releases?


I'm proud to be swedish... or something...

(Jag är stolt över att vara svensk... eller nåt...)

Hmm...

I don't know exactly what you mean by "on par with BAA" but I will give you some suggestions anyway:
