I have almost the entirety of Viz's individual-comic run of BAA (not collected in graphic novels -- the individual issues).

Also have several of the Japanese tankobon, and several Ultra Jump collections (from right before she started fighting Anomaly).

Plus a couple other things. The poseable figure for instance. Almost got a picture with Kishiro at a signing, but didn't happen. Oh well.

THAT would be a trophy.

@__@ The joys and also sorrow of enjoying a series that, although has grown in popularity over the years, doesn't warrant the fan base to have a tons of crazy stuff. xD Har har.

I bring my BAA books with me everywhere I'm living/staying (IE between home and school) Each book has been read countless, COUNTLESS times, and I enjoy it no matter what. 8D

But uh, lists here:

Battle Angel Alita: Complete (Original Viz run through, Left to right)
Battle Angel Alita: Complete (Updated Viz, right to left)
Battle Angel Alita: Complete Viz Single printings
Japanese volumes of Battle Angel Alita/Hyper/Gunnm: Complete
Battle Angel Alita: Extended Editions (1,3,4 - - I think? .___.; I don't have those on me atm.)
Ashen Victor
Ashen Victor: Complete Single printings
Aqua Knight: Book 1-3
Last Order: Up to date
Last Order: Japanese Volumes Up to date
BAA Last Order: Another Stories
Battle Angel Alita: Last Order action figure
Battle Angel Alita Figure/statue (Winged one)
Battle Angel Alita DVD
Oh, the game too, D: That's floating around somewhere...
And some various manga magazines with BAA stuff in it

UH. I think that's it .___.~


I'll run over and post in the according thread but I just wanted to say thank you for the chapter 100 upload, I greatly appreciate it! Excellent work

Autographs never seemed valuable to me. The best Yukito signature would be an Alita sketch by his own hands, this would be priceless to me =)

Your collection must be pretty worn out =P

Who mentioned autographs? Man, you have a serious problem of misunderstanding!

He was aiming to a picture, but he was at a signing, isn't he? Because of that I mentioned the autographs!
Now get off my cloud!

I don't know about you, but I would CERTAINLY consider a picture of mine with Kishiro as a trophy.
It is simply like that and much more than an autograph. Is is that difficult to your understanding?

You wanna make me cry, isn't it? =P
YOU were talking about pictures, I was talking about autographs! A picture with Kishiro (you + him) is valuable for sure, but a picture of him alone with his signature on it isn't that valuable to me. An issue of BAA or GLO signed by him is valuable too, but an sketch is more precious tha any of that stuff, got it?

Someday you will make me hate the paulistas... Except for the kawaii nissei girls of Liberdade, I couldn't possibly hate them =)

If you really like to play the ridiculous character, I am out. It is better for both of us.

xD! Har har, thank you.

OH. I also forgot, probably one of the more interesting aspects of my collection .__.;

I've been starting to collect commissions by artists (Adam Hughes, Greg Horn, Joseph Michael Lisner, Tommy Castillo etc etc)

I'm collecting Alita/Gally/Yoko art work done by the pros xD (If it's possible and if I can afford it - - Adam Hughes costs about 400 bucks for a basic color...)

But I have this really beautiful ink 3/4 body drawing of Alita done by David Mack. :'D And I'm collecting more!

As for the question regarding "Extended Editions" I think that's what they are referred to as? (Extended? I could be wrong, I'm bad with proper titles of stuff. xD Haha.) But here's images if that helps pin it down more, I only have my vol 3 with me atm.

They're really excellent for the detail alone, plus all the added features (Bonus story, art etc) ! I love, love LOVE his artwork and these are wonderful to examine finer details.

Sorry, but I'm a purist. Beatles only by the Beatles, Alita only by Yukito.

xD Oh! Okay~ Thank you.


@ Kamugin: Yeah I could agree in any other terms, except I don't know a time in my life if I ever got one where I could own a commission of Her by Yukito himself. D: I think we'd all implode if we got one.

xD I'm only aiming for artists I admire to draw her~ It's interesting at least to see peoples concepts of her.

Not a comission, if I could ask Yukito himself to do an Alita's sketch, he should do it for free. If he wanted financial compensation I would back off, even if I got the money.

I think a good fanart as this one http://stuff.rippersanime.com/IMGBoard/ ... 352477.jpg is more valuable than an Adam Hughes' drawing of Alita. Hughes really knows and love the character? This is just something he would be doing for money.

I mean no offense to you or your tastes, this is just the way I think.

I have the limited edition action figure of Gally (and obviously AS with it), all of the post-2000 Viz Media publications, including the hardcover editions (not worth the money!), the OVA, and will soon have Battle Angel Alita Part 7 (the vol. 8 comics, which are the size of American comics, not just the American manga!), and soon Battle angel Alita Last Order Part 1 #'s 4, 5, and 6.

I went to Amazon, and they had one of the LO comics, for $85.00!!! It's a sixth of the first manga of LO! But then I went to an online comic shop, and got it for $0.80! So happy!

It's http://www.mycomicshop.com It was actually the 5th LO comic that was so expensive, I think I got the last one. But they still have a ton of the original comics available. =)

I agree entirely on this. All images (no matter of their quality and author's notability) not by YK can only be called a fanart, but not GUNNM. Collecting them is pointless.

I agree also. However, I'd like to add something from myself:

1) A picture with YK (%person% + him) is a great treasure only for that person. For everyone else, it's nothing at all.
2) A picture of him alone with an autograph isn't valuable, but the same picture with a PERSONIFIED autograph (like this: "I, YK, am presenting this picture of me to my huge fan %person%. My signature: %signature%") is a great treasure only for that person. Just like the previous case.
3) An issue with his autograph alone is a bit valuable. Let's say that it raises it's price 2-5 times. However, if a signature is PERSONIFIED - see previous case.
4) A sketch would be an incredible, outstanding treasure. It would be priceless. If it would be signed and personified - then, well, that person will be the luckiest guy in the world.

Surely, I agree with the concept again.
However, I've seen that image before and I've NEVER considered it being a decent fanart, because it's not based on any of the original concepts. It's done good and with the soul, but it's not GUNNM - as simple as that.

Here are the fanarts I consider being great:
One
Two
Three
Four
Five
and Six

You not only you agree with me this time, but three times in a row! I'm deeply moved and honored :*)

Only you distain the value of a good sized penis (for its owner... or his lover =P)

Good fanarts have their own worth, although they didn't compare to an original, I woud keep them with pleasure if they are good. Like I'm keeping your Alita's 3D models =)
