I've been trying to complete my collection of paperbacks. LO 16 through 19 are easy to find, but everything up to 15 is incredibly difficult to get a hold of.

I'm missing 12 and 14 in this case (got all the others as they were released). Does anyone know of a reputable European store which still ...

Some people do make pg-13 to get more audience and more revenues in the box office, you notice how some hollywood movies kind of streamline movie's storyline to make it easy to follow, as since they want majority of the audience they try to make it not too complex for the audience
You just stated ...

Only later i found out that the movie was going to be PG-13, which to be honest, will just be the death of it.

PG-13 does not just mean the removal of (much) of the gore, it also means gutting the storyline so its "palpable" to the average American audience. There is studio interference as well ...

Some things suddenly occurred to me when watching the trailer again.... Aside from the eyes.

0:05: Gonzu being replaced gives me conflicted feelings, but... I don't know. Was his character that good or is it nostalgia or a resistance against change? I don't entirely mind the wholly more attractive ...

True.
Its a shame there are so few good movies that follow the source book/anime as it is intended.
Thats why i'm going in with the state of mind: Its gunnm, but they are surely messing up the plot one way or another.

The little change i can live with, but some movies just take the characters and ...

- And Vector also being Nova... you gotta be shitting me..
But that is impossible. Vector = Nova means that actor is playing only ONE character. He is not.

Good point. Vector and Nova are never together - Until the later Last Order chapters they're not even together within the same volume (v6 ...

First impressions: Finally! Wait.... Those eyes. WTF?

Second watch: The eyes suddenly seem less obvious for some reason. Why is Ido missing his mark?


The story seems... Odd. Makaku is in there, Vector is in there, Hugo is in there. It doesn't seem entirely taken from the anime or the manga, but ...

A good adaptation does not blindly and strictly follow the source material. A good comic is not automatically the perfect storyboard and script for a movie, a good book is not automatically the perfect script. What works on a static page may not always work in a live action, moving version.
If you ...

Just thought i'd add some thoughts:

- Rodriguez directing may not be a big surprise. I've read somewhere that Kishiro is a big fan of Miller's work, but in particular of the live action version of Sin City. Can't remember where, but this may mean Kishiro had *some* say in who should direct (as ...

So... What's going to stop another group from just putting the translation onto the raws?

Too bad really. I'd bet that 90% of the people here buy the volumes anyway when they're released. Keeping up the scanlation is kinda free advertising...

The 'gender bending' did very much fit into the story, didn't it? The berserker body just happened to be configured for a male since that's how Ido found it. The gender of the cat has nothing to do with the name (Gally), which is apparently gender neutral, just like Alex or Sam. The motorball body ...

Hugo, Jashugan, Makaku... I know, they're dead, but they had a significant part in Gally's development. Even if just in flashbacks they may be back ^^

Figure and Kaos, i haven't seen those in the gif? Whhyyyyy?



And i guess Kishiro may have been pressured by the publisher a little too much ...

Personally, I don't give a fuck about all those people who only saw the movie and never read the book, or those who say that the book is boring and that the movie is way better (We love you Orlando Bloom!!) - as long as they don't address me or try to talk to me about the movie or the books. Any ...

You should all be glad that Gunnm isn't turning mad like Dragon Half did :>

I found out deplorable about 5 minutes after i posted it... But i wasn't sure that it was the correct use of the word in that context. It sounds strange for some reason.

I think it's a hoax.... Mostly because Kishiro himself is working on the project aswell. I hope he didn't sign a contract where Cameron can screw over the storyline as he desires.

Also, a complete CG scene over a year before the movie's release? Complete bullcrap. The earliest you can have finished ...

Comments on translation:

Phase_75
page 04 - People WHO appreciate… (let's respect the rules!!)
page 08/09 - Tsai Crow or Tsai Crowe? You must decide.

We already have have 292 pages in volume 11?
Or have we already entered volume 12?

By the way, should we name this version of Nova as Super Nova ...

Lets first see who wins Venus vs Karate Masters. If the final turns out to be Angels vs Karate, they've already won... But i wonder what Zekka would do with the prize.

Their feet aren't far enough apart to make any big difference in their height.... 1-2 cm at most.

And actually, i've always thought Alita was a little bit smaller than 5'. But this seems right no the mark, not that far off. I thought Nova and Sechs were taller though. And Toji seems a bit too big ...

Mercurius *is* the proper Latin name for the planet, actually. Just as it's Saturnus and Neptunus rather than Saturn and Neptune. Those are just English language bastardization.

BEAUTIFULL!!!

Only one thing... i'm afraid i'l break her >_>
So many small pieces.
Opening the blade, removing her hands, feet.
Makes me sweat.

You're just dissapointed that she doesn't look more like your avatar.

It actually is just the Imaginos, with a couple of other bits. I don't know if you realized, but the tuned body is technically R-rated... It'd be very hard to make a doll from that :>


R-rated in what way?? :O
What I think that he thinks is that Alita is not wearing any clothes in the beginning ...

In other words, it is very likely that Alita will revive the Panzer Kunst colony on Mars - Officially it doens't exist, but it is secretly affiliated with the Mars Kingdom Parliament.

I never knew either untill i read this thread - You should check the date when the first post in this topic was posted
