Summary: The Lone Angel
Review: Exqusite, beautiful and animated, Battle Angel gives the sense of danger and hate spread through the world living in the shadow of Mystery. Now, Gally, or better known in the manga this movie is based on as Alita, brings a sense of reality, strength, beauty, joy and love. Yugo, her one and only, Ido, her father and maker. Dangerous spine hunters that are in themselves hunted. Still, even better in the subtitled version, it is a great movie.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Not quite up to par...
Review: Well I must say I was quite disappointed by this video. Having read the manga and being a die-hard fan, I was kind of put out. The name change was utterly horriffic, not to mention the story in general: Basically, for those of you who don't know, they took the first 2 volumes of the greatest series of all time and hacked them up into this video. The change of name to Zolom and the entrance of Sharin, who was never even IN the real thing, made me mad. Not a bad anime on its own though, so see it if you feel like it.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Holly Crap , This Movie Rocks !!!
Review: I loved this movie . I saw the subtitled version and it was awsome !!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Worth the wait
Review: I bought a few of the books from the manga series that this video is based on and i must say they did a very good job with it. I loved every minuet of it. Worth evey cent.

Summary: This film made me want to vomit
Review: This was a horrible trashing of Yukito Kishiros wonderous work.To list everything I'd go over my word limit. To those who complainabout Gallys name change, I have most of the original Japanese manga, and the name on her motorball helmet is Gally. They do a fair job with the Gally/Hugo relationship, and in fact if the cut out the rest of the garbage the video would be worth more than the current video. As it stands the video isn't worth a wad of used toilet paper. Think Highlander 2: The Quickening. Major problems: Zapan was relegated to a brief close up. Thats it. The whole thing with Gally saving the baby was lost. The whole Makoku thing... they hosed that up and in the process wrecked at least half a dozen subplots. Vector did not die in the original, in fact he plays a pivotal(and on the side of good!) role at the end of the manga. As I said they did ok on the Gally/Hugo thing, and I'd probably call it an excellent, truly classic job if it wasn't for all the bull in the first half. But with all that c**p in the way the video isn't even worth the cost of the raw materials used in making it. Unless the Gally/Hugo thing is your favorite part of the series and you could care less about the rest of the story, or you have never read the manga and don't plan to, don't waste your money.

Summary: A MUST BUY!!!!!!
Review: A great two-part movie! Usually I into stuff like Dragon Ball Z, Macross (Robotech in the states), Devilman, and others, but, this cunning movie will have glued to its plot and action! Besides the great (....and gory) action in this movie, I really like this because it is also about a love story between Gally and Yugo. If you love this kind of stuff (I dont really like love stories, but this one puts me in the spot), and you dont know what kind of manga movie to buy or rent, I SUGGEST THIS!!!!!!!!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This movie's awesome!!!
Review: This was one of my boyfriend's favorites after he bought the manga with Battle Angel Alita. I saw the anime first, but I still fell in love!!! Gally is a cute half-cyborg whose really small, but that doesn't mean the girl can't fight! This is one of my personal favorites- if you buy it I guarentee you won't be disappointed!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wonderful animation, but don't forget to read the manga!
Review: Well, all I can say that this is a great movie to watch. I watched it and during the next month or two bought all the graphic novels (9 in all). The animation is stunning, but the comics are trully superior. Watch if you want to see something truly amazing.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: This anime is OK but it's nothing compared the the manga
Review: I have a few problems with this anime. Story changes aside my biggest problem was the way they changed the look of Gally. They turned her into a bubble eyed freak which was disappointing from the strength you see in her in the manga. If your a fan of the manga go ahead and get this anime. It can't hurt. But if you haven't seen the manga, I would suggest getting the first 2 or 3 volumes of it then viewing this, so you can get a feeling of what Gunnm(Battle Angel)is really like.

Rating: 5 stars
