Can't imagine it's a popular opinion, but I think Muster's backstory is more engaging than just about anything in this manga since... the start of Last Order!

Not that it is bad but it doesn't give you a good feeling but instead a rather sad and depressing feeling to it.

I won't disagree with ...

*breath of relief*

...although I did see this coming. Kinda... Sorta... In a way...

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I really love this return to a darker less weak Ido, is really nice to see. reminds me of the first day

Agree. It's been ages since we saw him as "Badass-Ido". Now all he needs to do is to attach a rocket to that hammer!
I'm exited for ...

And so, after several years we finally, finally, FINALLY get back to my # 1 favorite character in the Gunnmiverse! The chapter couldn't have better as far as I'm concerned.

I also liked how it got some of the spirit of the original manga. Moreso than the rest of the chapters in Last Order.

Am I the only one that feels cheated by Mbadi's death? There's all this build up of his combat powers and his past exploits and then he gets owned by Vilma this chapter. What a cop out. Since when did he degenerate into a paper pusher? Or was that the point?
I thought the same thing, but I wouldn ...

On Kishiro's blog, he says he was little worried about 107's plot might be very surprising/shocking for some readers even though that's what he had been planing for long time. But he is relieved now since reviews from the readers are good so far.

He shouldn't have worried. Compared to several ...

Wow, this was progressive death metal! :twisted: Greatest chapter in ages. Sechs is out of the picture and Toji went SuperToji!

I kinda expected him to turn into the polar opposite of his usual passive self. I feared Alita's new form would be totally indestructable and finish him in a few ...

Rakan getting his brains splattered. JUSTICE!

One thing I like about this battle is the way Kishiro shows us how it all happens in the span of a few seconds, and that various things happens at various places. Several mangas with simultaneous battles makes it look like one part is taking a break ...

Eternal thanks from the bottom of the Mariana Trench!

No way! Character development for Rakan? I always expected him to be that truly evil and unreasonable force of madness without any history or past. Kinda interesting (looking at the raws I got associations to a character from Battle Royale btw), but I guess this means he's about to die.

My first thought when I saw the last couple of pages: Alita's become Chise from Saikano!

But when you think about it, with all the talk about angels throughout the series, on book-titles and all, it's seems almost logical she would finally get her own pair of wings (Damascus bladed even).

I ...

Delays in GLO should be the least of our worries when the situation is as serious at it is in Japan right now. Eventually things will turn back to normal, but I'm sure it needs to settle down a bit first.

Speaking of which. I wrote in a post above: "...and so the world starts turning again." I just ...

...and so the world starts turning again.

Great news. Now we can finally get back to the good ol' "Kishiro have lost it and Gunnm is turning into a shounen"-discussions.

if you're judging by the way some people talk about the manga-industry you'd get the impression that Japan is an Utopia where conflicts like this never appear at all.
I don't get the point. I don't read manga at all (gunnm is the only one I read) and I don't wath anime. Can you explain what you've ...

Oh boy! Reminds me of Sheila Broflovski's line from the South Park movie: "Horrific, Deplorable violence is okay, as long as people don't say any naughty words!" I think this is interesting to hear about because if you're judging by the way some people talk about the manga-industry you'd get the ...

Thanks for the scans Ulysses. Gr8 work duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude!

I don't think Alita can be defeated that easily ... maybe it's just like the fight between her and the vampire Caerula ... an afterimage ... or whatever it's called.
That's what I was thinking as well. Toji probably crushed her ...

Not much progress, but nice to see female Sechs again. And page 22 rules.

80% of everything I've read the last five years have been manga. Some of my favorites are:

Berserk - It's basically one of the most massive fantasy epics in any form of entertainment. People love to tell you about how it's a hell of a lot more extreme than Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings (gore ...

Excellent translation as usual.

Jovian bureaucracy is no joke! Europa seems to be the new Siberia.

Sorry for double posting, but raw is now out on Raw Paradise.

Phase 97 must be the phase where everyone gets converted to Jovian space-compatability, and then they fight the rest of the ZOTT like that.

:lol: Can you imagine?

The Jovians are probably desperate to take back control over the quantum-link that Alita stole when she emerged from Tunguska, but ...

Actually, I am disapointed in how powerful Gally has become.
The only three instances in which we can really gauge her evolution have been the semi finals against Jupiter, the encounter with Rakan, the irruption in front of merlin and Mbadi, and the current fight with Toji. In those fights, she ...

My life is complete once again.

Great work with the script.

Oooh no! A three months hiatus...will Yukito turn out like Kentaro Miura(Berserk)?
Release on chapter, wait 2 months, release two chapters, wait 3 months...

Coincidentally Miura is back from hiatus next week. At least it's good that one of them is active while the ...
