  • "and that's not mentioning the spine thieves" BRILLIANT WRITING! seriously love this though.

  • who does her voice?

  • I don't think Ido wants to hear the next part.

  • Ahhh i love Battle Angel Alita, it was my first Manga. And up to now it is still one of my favorite.

  • @DaijuFuma would you recommend the manga over the anime, im not sure which to watch?

  • @Blballerboy hm.... there are a lot of Series where i would say the Anime or the Manga is better, but i like the Manga the same as the Anime. So u don't make a failure even if u read the Manga AND watch the Anime ^^ hf

  • @DaijuFuma

    me too ! the future vision 

  • God I love the manga

  • fuck this is annoying

  • well guess im still the only guy that actually likes this dub.

  • @hyuthestampede no you're not,its one of my favourite anime ever

  • @barcakid101 you my friend have awsome taste :)

  • God this dub is horrid. The VHS manga release I have is so much better.

  • Bah! This dub sucks. I prefer the name ALITA and if I remember right it was an English UK Cast that did a better job.

    BTW- James Cameron WON'T be making this film now he's doing live action Disney Films.

  • @MrBOPESquad2 What makes you so sure about James Cameron? When I looked him up on IMDb, it said that the movie is due for release in 2015 or so. Or am I missing something? This is the first time I am watching this anime.

  • @TheSydneyLad Nope he's ditched Battle Angel Alita to make two AVATAR sequels within the next 2-3 years for a 2015 and 2015 release date.

    He's also helpng to make an AVATAR themed Disneyland Ride (yes you heard right AT DISNEY WORLD!) google the news story.

  • Wow I used to watch this one in elementary school. My parents freaked out and banned anime in my house because of it.

  • hay :D

  • James Cameron is making a movie about this cartoon, it will be out in 2016, paws up :D

  • @Kariesification James has lost his cred with me with that overrated Pocahontas in space movie he made 2 years ago.

  • @Makoto03 i don't mind science fiction... i liked avatar... but hey, everyone has it's right to like or dislike movie :)

  • what happened at 4:33?

  • @angelaballet1

    cute little girly got her spine thorn out

  • ok,this completely diffrent than what i read in the comics,some stuff never even happened in the comic!!!!!!!!

  • i read the comic hope this is good

  • did anyone knew that James Cameron is going to make a live action movie of battle angel alita??? that it will become totally commercial, don't like this idea!

  • They should do an anime of Battle Angel Alita meets Kiki's Delivery Service.

  • Grr, why is Alita called Gally. And what's up with that voice? She sounds waay too cutesy, Alita is a badass not some sort of doll. And if that wasn't bad enough they're calling Tiphares "Zolum," I'm surprised that Ido's name is not Frank.

  • Comment removed

  • @Bakazuraz... You asked: ' Grr, why is Alita called Gally... And if that wasn't bad enough they're calling Tiphares "Zolum," '

    ...

    Actually, "Gally" and "Salem" are in fact the names from the original Japanese version.

  • @PSYCHOBEVO Yes. So where the hell did 'Alita' come from?

  • @Askimoula The translators of the comics invented many new names instead of using the original names from the Japanese version. For example, in Japan the series is titled "Gunnm" not "Battle Angel."

  • @Askimoula gally is her original name in japanese version, alita is american translation, because americans always have to ruin everything, like dbz music

  • i miss the times when there were noses in anime.^^

  • @khosrow lol dude dont get me started 2days anime are a joke

  • @snoop0851

    Avatar did had some anime influence mainly Ghibli

  • @pepperannziggi watz a oav

  • @snoop0851 Well...this is James Cameron we're talking about, so there's a good chance it won't suck. lol

  • Wow for an anime the dub is surprisingly good

  • Woooww.... I just cant believe the creator of T2: Judgement Day and Avatar is making a movie adaption of Battle Angel Alita. Normally I hate movie adaption's of cartoons, anime, and video games but because this is James Cameron, theres alot of hope here. I cant wait for 2016!

  • boohoo to the eng dub

  • James Cameron is making a movie on this anime. It's set to release in 2016.

  • @AdrenaI1ne really !?!?!

    

  • @FearLancer2 Yep, look up "Battle Angel" on IMDb.

  • Spine thieves, makes my bike being stolen seem pretty trivial

  • ok, im just gonna say this now, i realise that maybe they changed a few things (quite major) to the story in order to make this fit together more convienatly(spelt that wrong) i don't think that is reason enough to discard it. I mean look at AKIRA the film they changed a lot of stuff from the manga but that did'nt stop it from being fucking classic, From what i read as well they were'nt aiming to create a whole series based on Gunnm just a preview in two parts(i class the whole thing as one film

  • this looks nice! though the pacing is different from the manga

  • I mostly like the germans dubs more then the english one, but I must really say, Alita has a much better sub in english then her german voice! ;3

    Thanks for uploading! :3

  • Um...isn't this going kinda fast? She's already talking with Yugo and she hasn't even fought Makaku yet.

  • @ZealSeraph well, it cant be the same as the manga.

  • @IluvPoker100 Sure, not 100% the same, but it feels like they were in a hurry when creating this and put like four episodes in one.

  • @ZealSeraph yes they were, they were like OMG WE HAVE TO DO THIS QUICKLY SO WE CAN MAKE MONEY!!!!!!!111!!!!!

  • @ZealSeraph yes they were, they were like OMG WE HAVE TO DO THIS QUICKLY SO WE CAN MAKE MONEY!!!!!!!111!!!!! oh yea, i like ur thinkin, add me ;)

  • Damn this is good!! Quite nostalgic... but a great 2 charpter anime. The manga is also really good! Depressive and emotional... and with litres of blood!

  • One of MY favorites <3

  • 2:06; what is berserk body doing THERE?

    in manga version, it was hidden in Ido's secret basement, along with Robby the robot

  • wow

  • They blended the first few chapters of the manga into the first 3 minutes. WAHT?!

  • haha. i see that in 3:33, the bulletin on the wall shows a korean written ad...humph, what do you think it means?! ha-ha, random stuff.

  • @dannysimion

    Rain took over the world before it ended

  • @TheSleepChamber It's pretty unfortunate.

  • How does Alita translate to Gally????!!!!

  • @irongiant0 it doesn't. VIZ, for some reason, decided to change Gunnm into Battle Angel Alita. Why? Who knows. It still doesn't make any sense to me.

  • @irongiant0

    Alita is the american name. Her original japanese name is Gally and in Japan the series isnt called battle ängel alita. it is called Gunnm I think =)

  • @irongiant0 If you read the manga you would know. "gally" was the name given to alita when Desty Nova hacked into her mind in vol. 9

  • @shiftprophecygaming But this episode is number 1? I'm confused now you've mentioned vol. 9 while I thought watching episode 1.

    (I'm not familair with both the serie or the comic books; I remember the cover of Battle Angel Alita video and finally found it back online.)

  • @irongiant0 It doesn't, just sounds stronger. Also the city is Salem, but they used Tiphares, which does sound better and doesn't have the witch-trial salem connoctation.

  • @irongiant0 It was just what Viz Publishing called it when it first translated the Manga and it just kind of stuck.

    In Battle angel Alita:Last order they even call her Gally, her original name.

    Not her real name of course, that's YMNmnnmnm!!!! (Sorry, just got a gagging order served). :-D

  • @irongiant0 How does Jack translate to Kuba... :P

  • @EasyEnergy i don't know

  • @irongiant0 I just showed u the example of such functionning name translation, thats all :P

  • @irongiant0

    It doesn't, they changed her name for the English release of the first comic series. They make a small gag about it near the end of it.

  • @irongiant0 I think Gally is the original name in the manga GUNNM. The name Alita is only used in the translation english, german and so on... But i'm unsure.

  • @irongiant0 Add a Gunnm, an egg, a glass of milk mix well on high and bake at 420° for 30 minutes...

    xD

  • @irongiant0 The Gansta way, that's how.

  • Why is it all the Enligsh voices are fine EXCEPT Alita's?

  • fucking dubs

  • they don't make em like this anymore,crappy anime today

  • @barcakid101 oh come now! they're not all bad.

  • YES YES YES!!!! I DID not know this existed! [[I mean the anime version]] I use to read this as a kid! you have no idea how happy you've made me! <3 <3 <3

  • Spine and brain snatchers?

    God why can't these people stick to Rape like usual night crawlers >_>

  • And some Korean at 3:32! It says "약품" - "pharmaceuticals".

  • RoboCop homage at 1:56

  • shut up everybody and watch the damn movie

  • I first saw this movie when I was in college, and I still love it to this day. When I heard the James Cameron was going to be making a film out of this, I was excited to say the least. There are many anime series that should be made into films, but this one is the best candidate.

  • GUNN YAY

  • The american remakes of some asian movie, ova, anime or manga is ALWAYS a complete disappointment, the story is changed also the characters. For example Jian Gui (The Eye), ชัตเตอร์ กดติดวิญญาณ (Shutter), Ringu (The Ring), Dark Water (Dark Water) and the worst remake Chakushin Ari (One Missed Call).

    So it's a fact that James Cameron will ruin this awesome piece of art.

    James Cameron has made great movies but I love Asian work.

    Regards from Mexico.

  • was this anime made by a korean?

  • When they make this film, I think they should get Adam Lambert to play Yugo. He looks just like him. <3

  • Gally or Alita, which is it?

  • @ProphecyTheTruth gally in the anime and alita in the manga

  • why the hell alita's voice sucks sooooo baddddd...

  • I can't wait for James Cameron's movie version, i'm a huge Cameron fanatic and it think it will show anime can work well on live-action like SPeed Racer did. Did you know James Cameron is an anime fan as he adores Miyazaki, Akira, Ghost in The Shell (His praise is on the DVD cover), and more. He was influenced by Nausicaa and Mononoke for Avatar just like The Matrix was by Ghost in The Shell, Akira, Fist of the North Star and Ninja Scroll.

  • @Johnlindsey289

    Speed Racer Live action sucked :L

  • @KrispyApplez

    Do you think SR is as good as The Matrix when it comes to Wachowski movies? Matrix was anime influenced

  • Comment removed

  • Agh, dubbbbs. They ruin everything. Ido's voice is good, Alita's sucks.

  • @MrKrobar98 Hey, what's your beef with Amanda Winn Lee? >:(

  • wow so much skiped yet so much before things even start ahaha i mean she wasnt suppose to meet the boy til after she became a hunter and knew of her martial arts Panzer Kunst. And the voice for her is wrong. thats not the voice i saw her having. also i dont think she is that short. so much wrong in this which is so perfect. should be a crime to alter great mangas like this even a little

  • ...don't tell me this is Korean...

  • I just realized it when yugo said "hey doc!" but Spike Spencer sounds a lot like Michael J Fox!

  • i looked this up after reading kotaku

  • who would u pick to play her in the james cameron film

  • @1BigChris7 Chloe Moretz from kick-ass...Hit girl is Gally

  • @sangreuno HELL YEAH cameron is a SOB trying to cash in on this shit. I fucking LOVED this manga, he will DESTROY it. Avatar was beautiful in color, etc., but the story line was a trite piece of dog shit and a total rip off.

  • The American directors such as Cameron, stories should not return as good as Alita, who think that no one remembers and so believe they will get fame, but rather should think about creating new stories and new characters, sure that if they're going to do the same that avatar ... it's better to do nothing

  • @sangreuno Cameron is Canadian.

  • @KAMORoadRunner nevertheless I would prefer that the Japaneses make the movie...

  • @KAMORoadRunner why people think America is USA? pal

  • @sangreuno

    yeah, everyone knows its the USPRC. (United States of the Peoples Republic of China)

  • The American directors such as Cameron, stories should not return as good as alite, who think that no one remembers and so believe they will get fame, but rather should think about creating new stories and new characters, sure that if they're going to do the same that avatar ... it's better to do nothing

  • EGON!!!

  • God. I'm glad the dub isn't terrible. <3

  • Doesn't that professor look kind of like Egon from the Ghostbusters?

  • @MDthornton83 If Egon had a baby with Vash the Stampede

  • Or he could be Egon's younger brother.

  • @MDthornton83 kind of sounds like him abit

  • @MDthornton83 hahahahah yah i always thought that too xD i got over 50 mangas =D

  • @MDthornton83 hahahahah yah i always thought that too xD i got over 50 mangas =D PLUS i got 100 + on my ipad =D

  • @MDthornton83 hahahahah yah i always thought that too xD i got over 50 mangas =D PLUS i got 100 + on my ipad =D

    Oo the English for gally ummmmmm..... D: no comment

  • so the sayin "watch you back is literal"? lol

  • The scientist looks like Egon Spengler from the Ghostbusters cartoon show. I half expected the first words out of his mouth to be "Don't cross the streams."

  • Good god this dub is just awful! But at least it's a good anime.

  • CAN SOME1 PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS ANIME IS VIOLENT\BLOODY\GORY IN ANY WAY?? IF SO CAN U COMPARE IT WITH ANOTHER VIOLENT ANIME TO GIVE ME AN IDEA OF HOW VIOLENT\BLOODY\GORY IT IS.... CHEEEEEERRRRZZ =D

  • @FinkFinx Hellsing, I think. GunnM is really, really violent.

  • @FinkFinx It's not a full anime, there's only a couple episodes, it's just based off of a 9 volume manga series; the manga is really violent though.

  • @FinkFinx eeh it's so so, there's some good fight scenes with ALITA killing some people pretty good. This is a slightly older anime, it's nothing like ELFEN LIED maybe more like....aah I just don't know. This anime isn't ALL about violence though, there's ALOT of story in it. But when she has to fight she does kill the fuck out of them. Maybe like uuuuhhhhh Ghost in the Shell ??

  • i love it it was sad but great i was hopin that gally and yoge would be together forever are there any more ep i wanted to know what happening next

  • i saw a wanted poster for the dude he was fixing!!

  • I can honestly say I watched this for the anime not because James Cameron decided to make a movie. Whoopy doo about American film makers wanting to remake classic animes. They should really leave well enough alone.

  • @MrPhukyou Animes? What is that? are you talking about Anime (you do not add an S wen talking about more than one.) As for leaving well enough alone. If that was the case we not have the anime you see today, because the style you see there was taken from classic American cartoons. An So if manga artist did not barrow a cartoon style from America there have not been anime that looks like this. SO I say everything is fair game, if you think you can do better than by all means try to do so.

  • @Darkphoenix3450 Sure, but come up with something original not remake something that is already perfect the way it is. Generally, the remake is worse than the original. Besides, it's all about money, it has nothing to do with the art of it. It's "how much money can I squeeze out of this"

  • @MrPhukyou True enough. But the Concept of this show it self is not really new. I happen to know a 80's Tv show from America, that this anime look strikingly similar to. In plot, and story. But androids and humans with robot parts was a big hit in America during the early 80's late 70's

  • They skip all around with hugo and the bounty hunters.... And it's either these voice actors or the script but you just don't feel as drawn to this as the manga. still nice to see they got the anime up!

  • what does this movie has anything to do with James Cameron?

  • can i get a jyes?

  • the little engine that could

  • your all a bunch of scrubs ive been watching this over and over again since i was 13. go listen to lady gaga and watch avatar again u fad hunters. get cultured...

  • @TheJimbrownish how old are you now.. 14?

  • i am because of cameron and i like anime? but mainly because i want to see what the movie may be like

  • always thought Keither Sutherland would make a good Ido .

    i support James Cameron's goal of making this into a live action film. Although they should make a new battle angel anime movie before they make live action. maybe the battle angel last order series .

  • Edo looks like Egor from Ghostbusters.

  • im watching this cuz i read the manga :D

  • @MooPoo126 i wonder why u read the manga....oh yea james cameron. scrub.

  • Which of the characters is this Cameron? I'm watching because it was in my "recommended" stuff...

  • @VirtuousSnake I'm watching this to because it was in my recommended stuff...anD ALSO BEACUSE I WOULD WATCH THIS OVER AN OVER AGAIN WHEN I WAS A KID OH MY FUCKING GOSH THANK YOU YOUTUBE FOR REUNITING ME WITH GUMNMNM *MUBBLES*

  • @JJULLER ME TOOOO!!!!!! Nostalgia!!!!

  • Who's Jame Cameron??? (will google it later)

    I just wanted to watch this because I love old anime with robots!!!

  • Watching it because off Cameron :)

  • i am here because i heard Cameron was making this into a movie

  • you think summer glau will play alita?

  • james cameron is going to make this film.

  • @Kienzle16 someone should stop him! why do they have to ruin everything?

  • @Kienzle16 oh yeah that's right! Sweet!!

  • @Kienzle16 god help us all

  • @Kienzle16 He will ruin it then.

  • @Kienzle16 God I hope not. James Cameron is an idiot.

  • @ohnobrowncow67

    No, he's a genius. He's an idiot writer. lol...

    Personally I'm not too excited about this film since I am not a big anime fan. Just curious to get an idea about what James cameron's gonna do.

  • @hellomate639 Ok Ok I'll compromise with "Con Artist" but that's as far as I'll go. XD

  • @ohnobrowncow67 Yep he's an idiot. That's why his film were the only one to make "Billions" not "Millions" at the movies. He's a smart billionaire, beside who else should direct?

  • @RoyalDog214 Just because he makes money doesn't mean he is smart. There is no direct correlation between intelligence and income. Justin Beiber makes an annual 7 million dollars while Harvard and MIT presidents make half a million a year. James Cameron isn't a genius he is just a very lucky individual who people loved to listen to. Don't get me wrong it does take some intelligence to get to where he is but he definitely isn't a genius.

  • @ohnobrowncow67

    I am reminded of a quote, i forget who said it, "To succeed doesnt require any intelligence, only amibition and motivitation. This is why our leaders are idiots."

  • @Kienzle16 He'd better spend as much money on BAA as he did on Avatar. Avatar was all eye-candy and low on a story, but BAA has more of a story that Avatar. If he can deliver the eye-candy effects with delivering the story of Battle Angel Alita, then he'll have yet-another billion-dollar hit on his hands. Not to mention my theater ticket money. But something tells me that it'll be a disappointment, like most anime-turned-live-action movies.

  • @Kienzle16

    Hopefully if he is done with Avatar 2 and 3.

  • @CPUAI101 i hope those get done...........

  • @Kienzle16 James Cameron Im going to fucking kill you.

  • @Kienzle16 And I'm sure it will suck fucking ass.

  • they should cast that kick ass girl for her @_@

  • @libracat

    THAT would be AWESOME! :)

  • they've mixed the volumes for the anime...hugo wasnt even introduced till later on...

  • Blade Runner wannabe

  • @xbacon24 Stupid statement by a stupid moron.

  • that doctor guy looks like vash (trigun)

  • Wondering how James Cameron is gonna pull this one off,. I really really hope its not going to by as unsuccesfull like dragonball evolution.. But I have full trust in cameron,. But I cant picture this looking good, dont know why??

  • as long JC stick with the original story everiting will be 100% ok, i was kinda surpriced with the pg 13 ranting of the movie but, with the good story and acting, it will be fine.
