Summary: If you've read the comics, don't buy this video...
Review: The movie is just a bland review of the first comic's plot, but without the character richness and the frightening violence of the books. Maybe did the rating do that, but it really feels like Yukito Kishiro was betrayed in the deal. Other than that, it's a nice and clean anime for teens... but it could have been so much more!

Summary: I'm just clarifying something
Review: I was prompted to write a review, not because of my great love for the film, but to clarify what I have read in others reviews. 1.In Japan the main characters name is GALLY, as in the DVD. It was Americanized into ALITA when the manga came out in the US. 2. In Japan the name of the floating city was ZALEM and once again it was turned into TIPHARES in the US version of the Manga. and 3. YUGO is YUGO in Japan and the DVD, but turned into HUGO in the US manga. There...now I'm done with my nitpicking. -Eli@

Summary: One of the Best, Always will be
Review: Battle Angel Alita in america, Battle Angel, on the show, an it was origanlly titled 'Gunnm' in japanse, which translates to Gun Dream, This the story of the Cyborg girl Gally, Alita in america. The show has aliitle gore in it, not to bad, just don't eat and watch, okay I take that back, if you don't have senstive stomach. It's a beautifully drawn piece of materiel, and it folls the first two manga/comic novels. THere are sevrel diffrence's, especcilly by them 'blending' the two novels together, but it's an excellent peice of work, truly living up to the name 'Battle Angel'. Gally was a cyborg found in the 'Scrapyard' by Docter Daisuke Ido. He rebuilt her, but she had no memory of before he found her. as the story gos, Gally falls in love witha boy named Yugo (Hugo in America, again, for some unknown reason, they canged his name) but many things get in the way of they're realiotship. Zalem (Tiphares for you American Fans) is a city in the sky that no one goes in to, everything comes out. little is know of the people that live there, and its the place that Yogu will do almost anything to reach, even if it means getting killed. This is a wonderful Anime I'm sure you'll love, and if you like it, you should read the Manga as well, entitled Battle Angel Alita. Beeautiful Artwork and beutiful music, truly a masterpeice.

Summary: Strange disjointed episodes
Review: Well, I'm not really an anime fan (though I like manga). There have been a few that I liked (Akira, Ghost in the Shell, one short featurette called Presence) but for the most part I find anime to be a mixed lot. I saw "Battle Angel" on a dubbed-English VHS, and I felt it to be confusing and poorly edited. Granted, it is based on a popular manga, but the film-makers probably tried to jam in too much information into one hour's worth of animation. The end-result doesn't make a lot of sense and doesn't leave much room for adequate character development. However, the basic plotline in these 2 episodes shows a lot of potential; I think they might hold more relevance to the viewer if he has read the manga on which they're based. It is a pity that no further episodes were filmed or that Battle Angel wasn't allowed to develop over more episodes rather than getting condensed into one short hour.The animation seems about on par with most short subject anime I've seen. Also, try to see the subtitled version, not the dubbed version. Dubbing always seems to make films seem cheesy, for some reason.

Summary: A Moving and Bloody Tale
Review: In the future there are two social structers, those whom live on the surface and those whom live in a mysterious paradise known a Zalom. When a brilliant cybernetic doctor discovers the torn and unconsious body of a young cyborg girl in a scrape heap below Zalom he soon repairs her. Having no memory the doctor names her Gally. Gally acts like every ordinary girl, she has a crush on a young boy whom is very secretive, she helps around the house and she is unsure about many things. Where Gally differs is that in her subconsions is the knowledge of a deadly fighting style that allows her to save the doctors life. When Gally realizes that the doctor is a hunter warrior, a bounty hunter of the future, she soon follows in his steeps. Very dramatic and action packed. The animation is very good and so is the voice casting. This anime is a must for fans of the manga and also for serious sci-fi fans. Warning contains strong violence, gore, nudity, language, and sexual situations.

Summary: High Quality Classic
Review: Battle Angel is a member of the canon of classic anime productions that one can find in the US. It has great effects, an intriguing and unique story, and fully developed characters for the most part. The only complaint I've heard frequently is that these 2 tapes (both included on DVD) try to cover far more plots all jammed together than the lengthy comic series. Definitely look for the subtitled version.

Summary: not very good
Review: Although, unlike most movies, the story for the most part remains true to the books, it just isn't very good. The voices are horrible and they leave out some important stuff. If you just want a nice action film, it's alright, but if you are a fan of the manga, it's down right blasphemy!

Summary: Great and entertaining, not as bad as everyone says
Review: I liked this Anime a lot. Although it didn't live up to my highest expectations, the movie did focus on Gally's strive to find her individuality and it marked hope in a futuristic world gone bad. I believe it focuses a lot on what makes a human human and it should be seen more for the themes. The Animation isn't bad at all, in fact, excellent in my opinion. I am a huge fan of Anime and buy it like crazy. This isn't the highest on my list (compared to Macross, Ninja Scroll, and Maps), but it's likeable.
