Alita: Battle Angel (2019) slices, dices and occasionally surprises.
Knowing nothing of the original Manga on which it’s based (the closest I can claim is that I quite enjoy the 2009 animated movie “Astro Boy”, which shares a surprising amount of story with this movie), “Alita: Battle Angel” still held a strong appeal thanks to the names behind and in front of the camera. That faith was well rewarded, with a kinetic, if lightweight, cyberpunk action popcorn flick...

I don't know about this one. I'm not sure if it has an anime series, or if it's just a manga, but this first volume leaves a lot to be desired. (I just looked, and I guess there is an anime series. I hope it's better!) It's fine in some parts, and in others, the story seems to just appear out of nowhere. It may have potential, but volume 2 won't be moved to the top of my reading pile.

I don't know anything about this series, so maybe it's an anime that makes more sense. However, as manga, only in the first volume, it's jumpy and confusing. It seems like it's written, assuming that the reader already knows about the world that the characters have been sent to. For me, it was confusing with not enough explanation at times. On a side note, this series is NOT for younger readers. There is a little nudity and some adult situations in it.

Well this certainly had a different storyline to the manga I've been reading lately. It was so interesting, especially when we saw them 10 years in the future, too. I even had a little cry myself at that point, they were all still so together, only missing a certain person, and the emotions were flying around.

I'm intrigued as to where this story will go. Will she manage to save him and maybe, hopefully, end up in a happy relationship with him herself?
