Yukito KishiroBattle Angel Alita: Last Order Omnibus 1

This manga is even better than the original. Also, it's not included in the original series. To get them all you need the original series in one box set; the Last Order Omnibus 1-5 and then 16-19 which are not in any Omnibus; and finally the Mars Chronicles currently in production:1) Battle Angel Alita (one set)2) Last Order (Omnibus 1-5, Issues 16-19)3) Mars Chronicles

Hugely disappointed that they used old fashioned eComic technique and presentation technology. (And please, don’t tell me it’s ‘retro’!) You have to zoom and move the whole page. And it’s all black and white? Should be a $1.99. Will read the novel instead.

I saw the anime and read the a large portion of the original series (Gunnm) as paper manga, but tired of the constant arena battles. This continuation/reboot picks up some time after I stopped reading that series and seems to continue with the story. As long as it does not drift back into constant arena battles, I think it will remain interesting. So far, the story elements are keeping my interest and I have purchased volume 2 to find out what happens next.The drawing is as I remember, and there is a good smattering of humor amidst the angst and bloodshed.While not specific to this title, and not affecting my review, I think this note could be helpful for others looking to read manga electronically. This is the first time I am reading manga on a tablet, and I think the Kindle and comiXology readers do a good job -- I like the right-to-left format being respected. And, it is nice that I can pull in manga from my Amazon account. It is too bad that they're separate apps, though.

Unique and always with surprises. Alita gets us into a Solar System in a phase of change. The visions of future really feel alien and probable. What makes it real is the contrast with Alita clinging to her humanity despite the chances he has to be more than human as her mission is to rescue the brain of her friend, which leads her to go beyond Mars. Said that the plot has a lot of action, combats, enemies and unsuspected allies; either you read it just for entertainment sake or for thought provoking fantasy you will be at home with this omnibus. The only aspect I was not sure was the translation, I don't speak Japanese so not sure if it is correct but the way of the characters to use much slang seems a bit dubious, but then again it could be a very correct translation. Other than that it was a great volume and as a bonus there are two unrelated, and entertaining, short stories of seemingly post-apocalyptic nature.

Can a recreated brain be human and have a soul? Can a civilization where their brains have been replaced by microchips be human still? Like other Japanese Science Fiction these questions are explored. However, for those who like action and fights Alita is also for you. This is the re-envisioned Alita and you need not to know the previous early series, or her youthful Mars series to enjoy.

Get this. If your on the ropes about quality translations, name changes etc. Forget em this book is beautiful. The art is inspiring and the random comedy amidst all the carnage is superb.

This was very good. It came promptly and was enjoyed by everyone in my little family. The illustrations were top knotch and so well done that we had to stop reading just to look at the intricacies of the panels. Worth the price.

EVERYTHING ABOUT ALITA LAST ORDER VOL 1 IS PERFECT AND HAS NO FLAWS!!! IT IS VERY INFORMATIVE AND ENJOYABLE TO READ MULTIPLE TIMES!!

👍

Arrived before expected, great book!!!

Love this series, a perfect choice for anyone who's into cyberpunk

Been looking for the books for a long time, and is finally able to collect the full series, omnibus though but still as good

Por ser um omnibus (varios volumes do mangá em um só livro) a qualidade da capa e lombada fica meio comprometida, que são moles e não uma capa dura. Mas talvez seja esse o motivo de escolha de material, já que é bem fácil pegar o volume, abrir e ler o conteúdo.Agora pra história, amo esse mangá de paixão, até mais que o Battle Angel Alita original, o autor pode desenvolver melhor a história em aproximadamente.... 20 volumes? algo assim. se quer investir em um mangá concluído e não tem muito espaço pra abarcar 20 volumes gringos (e dinheiro....) recomendo comprar os omnibuses (se bem que estou esperando os outros volumes abaixar de preço)
