Also saw Battle Angel Alita

Gonna have to revisit the OVA or whatever anime that was made... supposedly being hotly debated in the super important comment section on youboob or whatever, whether they stuck too closely to the ova and ignored key plot elements from the manga.

Never honestly was totally into battle angel alita, liked it, not blown away by it or anything. Aeon Flux was my jazz in the cyberpunk animated department... plus ghost in the shell, whatever, akira, etc. Saw those... saw loads of little animes as me and my friend found them in the kids vhs section at the library. He knew how to find the good stuff and the staff at those places didn't know what they were putting in there wasn't for kids. ha haha

I'm down for a bubblegum crisis adaptation, gundam is long overdoo doo to get one.... They are working on that though, gonna fuck it up I know...

But yeah, Anime has shit tons of stuff to adapt and has been around for eons so them taking so long to do it and trickling out little ones like Alita is Odd.

It's a good flick, at least until that abrupt non-ending. But I did'nt feel cheated out of my money, you get a film experience, it just kinda ends without ending.

For better or worse they really damn practically copy the story from the manga on screen and call it a day. And it leads to a bit of a jerky over stuffed bloated feel to everything that they had to some how make sense of in editing it together. Shit's over stuffed and ultimately they didn't finish the movie so yeah still more to go...

A little flash gordon-ish or He-man-ish Both movies promising more story to come, both not delivering it EVER. super mario bros definitely... that too. Hell this movie feels like the cousin in some ways to SMB movie... both weird and not apologizing for it. Love it...

I recommend seeing it if you are super into her story, otherwise no, rental at best. You got to make complete movies. It's like if terminator 2 just kinda stopped at the scene where they were in mexico and promised to finish it later, bye. Screw that right?
