A review by adamjcalhoun
Battle Angel Alita Complete Collection by Yukito Kishiro

4.0

Battle Angel Alita was definitely the most consistently weird book/manga I have read in a while. The essence of cyberpunk/biopunk, every panel in this manga has another STRANGE and weird image. The illustration gets better and better as the series progresses but unfortunately so does the fan service. In traditional manga fashion, the 'technology' and 'science' doesn't actually make any sense and often seems pulled out of a hat at the last minute. But worth it for the wild wackiness and sad loneliness of everyone in the desolate, post-apocalyptic, technology-driven future.
