I just watched this trailer by chance and it totally looks like they ripped off Arthur's back story.
Earth is in a constant winter, few survivors live in underground shelters. Of course there are no vampires--only lunatics that want to kill everyone, yeah...

Ok, influences are ...

Hm, it seems we have some free time now that the scanlation got taken from us :-/ So why not try to talk a little.

About Figure, I honestly always thought there is more to him. He survived the onslaught of the Bar Jack unscratched (back in vol. 6), also this "mere human" could fight on par with ...

Interesting video. All those short films are much more visionary than current scifi movies. Here's another one (totally unrelated though).

I recently read Peter F. hamilton's Commonwealth-Saga in which much of the things from the first video are incorporated. There, people have small chips in their ...

That was it, thanks.
When I first read it back in the days I was amazed that at first he didn't really know what Tiphares is/going to be. The whole story of Ketheres and Arthur he later constructed around this "scrapyard with a sky city" feels so logical as if he had it all in his mind from the ...

I don't know about the english BAA edition but my german edition contains a 2 page afterword by Kishiro, and the respective part says:
"Alita" directly derives from the designs of "Rain Maker", a longer, completed story. In the final version of this story, Alita appears as a side character. Mister ...

Thanks! :) Very cool.

I've read the new entries, here are my suggestions:

You could also add:
- "exo arms" (Zazie vs. Rakan)
- "Rat slaying the cat" - Tojis finishing move on Alita, v16, page 35

And maybe edit:
- "Europa" (vol. 11, page 104 indicates that it's a farming-planet or something ...

No, that... I... ---ok I admit!

Thanks for the volume release!

Thank you guys!! Nice chapter, so in the end, Don Fua was stronger. Anti-matter-punch my ass, black-hole-palm owns them all

Has someone read (or watched ) "The Inhabited Island" ("Обитаемый остров")? The movie (of the 1969 novel) is either called by that name or "Dark Planet" or "Prisoners of Power".

Maybe not an influence, but they have mind-controlling devices there, a little like the unanimous-system. I'm thinking ...

If you liked Planetes or even more 2001 Nights , you will most likely like the graphic novel The Forever War . It's a novel by Joe Haldeman that was adapted into a comic in the 80s. Recently, Ridley Scott has announced that he will do a movie of the novel.

The story is a kind-of metaphor on vietnam ...

Oh thanks for the raw.
That was fast. And unexpected. Really a bit too unexpected after all the expectations were built up (super dragon slayer techniques, Zekka being Mr. Universe, and all). I guess that YK really wants to make progress now - but like others I, too bet on an ugly aftermatch here ...

Oh, "Rennausrüstung" is also nice, true. Though of course "Wett-" in sports isn't necessarily connected to betting. Maybe our term originated from sports as a betting event? Don't know ;)

@ Menath: It's as always just a guess but I think that Hertza Haeon means "Hertz erhöhen" (to increase Hertz).

Actually I'm in the wrong thread but it's not enough to open a new one I guess. Or are there more eastereggs to find in BAA/GLO?

Back when Zazie got the ticket to go help Alita in the ZOTT, there was a QR-code on it.

Don't mention it. "au" indeed sounds like "ow", but the ä makes it more like "eu", like in joy.
It is amazing how different they write foreign words with their characters...^^

Changes edited into the OP. Does anyone have the correct spelling for "Weisserschauss"? Or did I miraculously guess it right from the katakana?
I can't think of anything familiar to Weisserschauss. Is it the little katakana on page 24, "oisa-shiyuto-su"? It sounds as if it could be "Äußer Stoß ...

"X", the yet unknown name of Frau.

I agree, amazing chapter

And I also agree that Alita looks better now. The face, her lips and outfit look more appealing again.

A cat with wings looks weird... glad those came off. Now, Zekka only has to cut off the tail and everything is fine again ;)
Anyway, where did Toji take this resolve and ...

Thank you guys, well done! Adieu Rakan, hello the real monster-fights

EDIT: But a good fight, nonetheless. Zazie rocks the house and the variety of weapons and usage is amazing.

I just now realized that in the original picture, Alita has quite big boobs and a big head, compared to her body. At first, your version was strange to look at but I quickly came to like this more realistic view... Man, I can't wait for the turntable version

I started Ultra Heaven . Both the drawings and the feel is kind of old school, like the late original BAA. It deals a lot with messed up brains, visions, the difference between reality and dreams and so on (makes you feel like taking part in one of Novas experiments). Together with great art style I ...

Thanks for the info!

I don't like the white background in particular. GLO is not Bleach ;) As for the art, I'll wait for a bigger sized picture. Cause lately (like, some magazin covers) his art seemd to be changing again - the crayon-style, that is. A turn for the better again (imo), no more ...

2. True. I meant it more like: They propably wont even remember walking into a strange facility and then doze off, maybe they'll have fake memories of answering questions and solving arithmetic problems? ;)

1. I did ;) But this, I really don't know, since I am far from being a brain scientist. As I ...

In short, you believe a human brain is as simple as any machine. To be fair, yes, Ido's brain is a machine. ;) Restore c:\ , format d:\ , restore d:\ to g:\, restore, overwrite and alter section h:\, insert section i:\ from extern drive a:\.
Just like that, Ido 2.0 is ready. Ketheres used the same ...

[joke]What about the credit page in the Bible - any jokes and credits from different monk translation teams can be found there. Even the trollface photoshopped onto Jesus's face.[/joke] Hahaha, I'm just imagining how you flip over the page and it'd be like: "Genesis 1. 4. IV.: "Adam made love to ...

Trailer for Real Steel

Completely different story and most likely low-brain hollywood popcorn, but I like the sounds of this. The creaking, crackling, stuttering and squeaking of the gears and all the mechanic parts moving bending, breaking... this is what I imagine motorball and scrapyard city ...
