They are canon. It's from the very early when she began regaining her panzer künstler identity and did the markings instinctually herself with blood/oil.

I doubt we'll see the actress "in flesh" much. Usually if she's not moving in superhuman speed, she's in pieces.

MrFaber, you sure do hate context and backstory, don't you? All of your posts are basically about how you do not wish to know more than a sketchy description of how Yoko came to be Alita.

Gunnm was always supposed to be a seinen manga. I can´t imagine YK being happy about turning the series into shonen... I suspect having one of the enemies being a penis the size of a bus was an attempt to get the studio annull his contract. I found it deliciously bittersweet when Kishiro disowned ...

I believe the story arc about Colonel Payne and the infant infantry was supposed to be a lot longer (after some substantial build-up and and a rallying speech by Alita, the entire subplot was concluded within a few pages with a simple "oh, the final flag already, go us") and the Mars orphanage ...

While the ZOTT was mentioned as early as in volume 3, there was another big fight going on in Ketheres already; Combat Training. It was supposed to be a big deal and for which there was quite a bit of build-up, with Alita becoming more and more aware of her childhood, Colonel Payne as the sadistic ...

I have a hunch the DNA Organ will have a *significant* part in the finale. I wonder though, how the chip-tuned Alita will resolve the slight case of cognitive dissonance of being a copy of herself.

Nnope, not going to happen. Here's the latest (source: http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1696105/james-cameron-the-informationist.jhtml )

Looking for information on James Cameron's next project? So is the protagonist of his next film, "The Informationist."

Cameron will direct and produce the film ...

A third (and possibly the most featured) option for 3d game is, of course, Cryengine 3 which has also been released free for non-commercial use.

You are on the roll! And so is Kishiro, hot DAMN the story is getting back into gear again!

Alright, finally the Last Order I loved is back! Takes place little over half a year before the events in the first GLO volume... this ought to be interesting.

The end of volume 4 might give even more insight to the workings behind the scene; Alita's inner monologue before the ZOTT was like this:


"Aspire to reach heights I was unable to attain..."
I'm not sure this is what Jashugan had in mind.
Gelda gave me her fighting spirit.
Jashugan taught me the ...

My thoughts exactly. The whole strectched-out ZOTT garbage really seemed like management driven episode, and the whole reader-submitted characters was a perfect indicator Kishiro was NOT in charge of the story.

The plethora of non-consequential characters was pure shonen manga style. The fights ...

I'll bet the gene sequence synthesizer from the early part of the story is going to create a human body for alita, with her human brain & all.

Speaking of the Weasel, remember too that his plan was to use the ZOTT as cover to sneak into Melchizedek and find Lou's brain. And this would not have happened successfully without getting the Fata Morgana, which was given to Alita by Caerula during their match – I think that is at least one ...

There were absolutely no redeeming qualities in any of the ZOTT arc episodes. None.

Besides how absurdly long the ZOTT arc is, which I have already admited... my long-ass post from before seems to contradict your statement.


Let's consider this for a bit: half of the things you said to be great ...

There were absolutely no redeeming qualities in any of the ZOTT arc episodes. None.

ZOTT garbage began 7 years ago, but Weasel was around for some time after that ;)

When you think about it, the characters had to be busier than electric rabbits on speed, but what could've been exciting, action packed sequence was spread over seven years of tedium. The only good thing Shueisha ...

Awesome! Goosebumps, and for a long. long time not because of the anguish of seeing a whole phase spent on another navel-contemplating description of a karate punch!

There was a panel that really hit home how badle the ZOTT was dragging the plot Ping Wu/Woo snuffed it 5 days earlier in the story ...

Interestingly enough, if you built her with titanium alloy skeleton and silicon-based cells with silicone as elastomer for the soft tissue, you'd end up at around 60 kg, assuming she's a bit under 150cm tall.

Using tungsten alloy for the skeleton would increase her mass up to 80kg. Replacing half ...

The ZOTT... finally over?!!

Actually, there were references in both Battle Angel Alita and Last Order gag mangas that she did have to go for #2. There's even brilliant continuity between the two; first, Ido declared that nothing make you feel more like alive than pinching a loaf (and then went his way to install a Bowl Busting ...

The ZOTT isn't finishing up quite as fast as I would like, but at least there aren't whole chapters about a single punch anymore!

Seriously speaking the ZOTT arc has stayed well past it's welcome. Thus far it's taken 1.5 times as long as the second world war . Other stuff that has been finished ...

And if I may say so, I'm no less than exalted about the series finally getting back on the track!

Is it? I hope so... Anyway after rereading some of the oldest tankubons (#5, 6 and 7) that I read years ago, I recovered some of my excitement regarding GLO. However I also realized that we are in ...
