  • Speaking as an animator and fine artist in his prime, I have to agree with you Goken02 - Alita is not a PG-13 character, and GUNNM is not a PG-13 story. For those who haven't read the manga, Kishiro is fond of using gratuitous violence as a story vehicle.

  • It's gritty, brutal, fast, and well paced, just like the manga. Bravo!

    I hope Cameron can capture this essence of the graphic novel.

  • what is this movie rated ??

  • this is probably a stupid question to some people but...what exactly is battle angel?

  • @SandSReviews

    a japanse comic series

  • "It will be PG-13: lots of blood, but it's all blue"

    OH! i get what he's saying now. because their bodies are robotic, he can do crazy violence on a pg-13 rating. because its not blood, its... oil?

  • I really hope that James Cameron's vision can live up to this; I wonder if the live-action GUNNM movie will be as graphic as the graphic novel, and capture all the emotions/character-depth that made the story so captivating.

  • this is really coool i love Battle Angel ALita

  • If their is any filmmaker who can make an live action Battle Angel Alita... its James Cameron.

    I doubt that the movie will be watered down to a PG-13 rating as violence is one of the major themes of the manga. As long as he treats the project like Terminator and Aliens, then this movie is guaranteed to blow your balls off.

  • this movie looks cool will probably be batter than James Camerons pg-13 bullshit.

  • @danish211

    As nice as this looks - this video is in no way in relation with Cameron's movie. This here was made in Japan years ago as some kind of bonus for battle angel alita. In fact, if Cameron really produces Battle Angel, it will look even greater than Avatar :-).

  • @Avian98X Aye. if I recall correctly this was made by a fan-based studio, primarily in Shade 3D. By today's standards it doesn't really hold up, but for the time it was released it was awesome!

  • @Shinhaquro I am trying to read the name of the studios and all of that but I am not having any luck, do you know who they are?

  • sorry Bender but i think that if i have to bite a shiny metal ass it would be Alitas´s

  • favorite form of that Story has ever produced. I am going to be so furious after this movie... I just know it.

  • @sangreuno I agree with you. Classic manga's such as this should not be re-made into a modernised film that is just full of leftover special effects from Avatar :-/ I wish they would leave the classics alone. He just better do a darn good job otherwise sigh!

  • Battle Angel Alita is sexy, brutal, warped and beautiful.

    James Cameron needs to pull out his influence and get the publishers to release a truly gritty version of this story. Toned down hollywood "American dream" mush to maximise audience numbers would destroy any respect that people have for his work.

  • yeah can't make this one nice and friendly, they should call it something else if the're going to do that, should be good, i doubt they making it pg, Disney kinda pwons that pond.

  • OOOHHH MAN! i hope jame cameron will make the movie alita battle angel as good as the book is... i m going guess that there will be 3 or 4 movies will be made out of it.... (dont name her Gally in the movie!!)

  • This movie would be perfect in cinema. Imagine the final battle with Jasugan, first the totally silent part, then the "Ars Manga" scene.

  • by the time Cameron is done with this movie, everyone would want to know what this manga is about

  • Thumb down!!!

    sorry but it's look nothing like the battle alita which I used to know

    I hope that they will make something better than that!

  • @nguyenming its the road rage body not the imaginos.

  • @PinkProgram i know

    i'm a big fan of this comic but the graphic remind me about some PS 1 game's cut screen

    way too ugly!

  • @nguyenming Its better than I can currently do... if you can do better you should give it a shot ^_^

  • @nguyenming Chances are they will most likely will make it how we all used to know... something like this was revolutionary back when it was first made... nowadays it can be done so much better... even still though, I hope they remake the series into something awesome.

  • James Cameron is using the same concept artists from Avatar to work on this movie

  • the end of the video is just perfect GUNNM kick ass 

  • There is no way a movie of this could be anything lower than an R rating... no way, it's just not possible, and if it is less than that I say open revolt. I guarantee that if they made it and it was made to a lesser rating, I suggest every anime nerd on the planet should work together and make it so it would be free to watch and awesome to watch.

  • Freakin yes!!!

  • Dose any one know were I could get the music track in this vid or was it just made for this CG clip, I Know DEN cant be right because for the artiest, that's one of the charters in the manga.

    now if they only could get a legit director on LAEM ( Live Action Evangelion Movie) and start on it

  • Alita es lo mejor ^_^

  • @kentaroperu macizo sabes donde puedo bajar el manga que estos ggringos hablan, si se puede en español, por favor, mandame un link donde bajarlo, ya que no logro encontrarlo, gracias, de donde habra conseguido el video?

  • This kinda looks like an extreme version of Rollerball.

  • @YourProblem1 That's beacause in the Manga, the sport that their playing is called Rollerball. The Movie "Rollerball" took the idea from the Manga.

  • @BrainGearMovies I think I like this now =)

  • @BrainGearMovies The movie rollerball came out in the 70s

    There was a 2002 remake but it wasn't as good as the original film.

  • This needs to be in high quality to be properly enjoyed. The blurs make me feel like I'm watching an old trailer for a PSX game.

  • That's 'coz it's out of an old trailer for a PSX game. See re: Gunnm, Martian Memory.

  • I see where you're coming from, almost all anime/manga-to-live-action adaptations have been abysmal failures in the sense of looking like the original, and that can be very off-putting; but I would not ever want to see this project in any other hands. I am very confident that if Cameron pursues this, it will be one of the greatest adaptations from any media to live-action ever. He has experience with almost every aspect in Alita, sans the gore(to my knowledge); and I'm sure he'll pull through.

  • @cdubya70 , Just watch Avatar again...if they used performance capture with cg characters like the na'vi it could work..if they use live actors with cg effects it will not....maybe. Nothing will ever replace the manga and anime...but I really would like to see if I could love a cg gally as much as a cg neytiri...

  • i agree with u.. but still.. i'd like too see a JC movie on BAA....

  • An amazing bit of CG footage!

    Thank you!

  • MARR!

  • taco del marr

  • iiii

  • @EldredJZombie

    Actually , Actually was:

    $230 million (The New Yorker) to nearly $500 million (The New York Times).

    So. no one know exactly how the movie cost =P

    But only one declaration:

    Avatar movie rocks!

    i saw it 3 times 2 normal and 1 3-D

    at 3-D movie you think ur one of them (:

  • james cameron he makes great movies really great but ... PG 13 ... for battle angel alita? SERIOUSLY are you out of your mind!!!

  • @Goken02 Why, in what sense? If you mean in the sense that it's way too gory and psychopathic for a 13 year-old, I'd say hell yeah it's insane! Although I've read the manga for the first time at that age..haha

  • no what I mean is with a rating of PG 13 they wont be allowed to recreate the gore of the manga

    you cant SERIOUSLY expect it to be a true battle angel alita movie if its going to be PG 13 (thats the sense I meant)

  • Battle Angel (Gunnm) is about a lot more than "Gore" I doubt that the Mangaka was writing only for people with an insatiable bloodlust...

  • I realise it was more than gore but it was there never the less besides alot of its themes gore or not are more than pg 13 can handle

  • Cameron hasn't completed the film yet, and the ratings are never certain before a film is completed, and different countries have different ratings ... it is too soon to judge the film.

  • i bet they will just barely scrape the 15 cert cause that would grose them more money but wouldnt hold true to the manga..

  • @Goken02 Your right , A Hard "R" is the only way to do Gunmm (Alita)...

  • Gunnm...

  • can NOT wait for this movie!!!

  • First of all, a story is a story, and if you don't like it, you don't have to watch it. It's not like it's going to change the original when it comes out. Second, James Cameron is a sicknasty director/producer, and doesn't have a single crappy film on his track-record. Plus, with all of his CGI and live-action-capture experience from Avatar, you could almost say he'd be the best one for the job.

  • AVATAR movie of James Cameron Rockkkss..! x)

    500,000,000 dollars!

    14 years of working! !!

  • Actually it was like $250,000,000 not 500

  • you bet!!!! i saw it and damn!!!! i wanted to join the Na'vi tribe im going to see it tomarrow again lol

  • @maux999 All that for pocahontas in space =P

  • @maux999 Such a huge waste of money...that film sucked balls on so many levels...

  • no way really?!

  • @maux999 not as good as one piece, the guy who made it has worked on it for 15 and the story is only on half!

    it's gunna be 30 years of awesome!!!

  • @cdubya70 You need to get your facts straight. James Cameron is not a shitty director like the other fuckers who butchered Dragon Ball and Street Fighter. Do not generalize him based on Hollywood's horrific history of anime and video games to film adaptations. He's an old man with great experience, making hits like Titanic, Spiderman and Terminator 2. This guy is serious about making his films look good. You'd be glad he's taking over, instead of some cheap asshole trying to make a buck.

  • Hopefully we'll get lucky.

  • I truly respect what you said but don't worry. James Cameron films are fantastic and are taken care of with the up most respect. Also Yukito Kishiro, the creator of the series doesn't want to, nor did he in '93 make an anime adaptation. But when the Battle Angel Alita film comes out and is amazing (which it will be) it will give the world a chance to get a glimpse at this hidden gem. And who knows? Maybe something will spark in Kishiros brain off the success of the film and we'll get a new anime

  • Knowing Cameron he has a high hit rate for getting academy awards so I wish him the best in landing some on Battle Angel, maybe he can out do Titanic but that's an insane feat.

  • Dude this is nothing James Cameron is directing the live action film...set to hit screens in 2011!

  • Whoa a blast from the past.

  • incredible! This for a video game?

  • Alita das du´s immer gleich so übertreiben musst.....

    Das Video rockt übelst!!!!!!

  • Oh man! THat was epic! I am one who used to collect the Battle Angel series, so seeing the motorball animated is epic to me :)

  • you'd be surprised

    when they say "they get things years before us over there" they mean it!

  • thank u i havent seen it for awhile and u can also see it on imba thank

  • why is everyone giving thumbs down to people who are talking about the james cameron movie, yes it is real if you dont belive it look it up on imdb, and yes its coming out in 2011 or later.

  • the main reason for this is that Jimmy stated that this movie will a PG-13 movie... have you read the manga??? if not, do it and I guarantee you that you'll turn into one of those people turning the thumb down... ;) dont get wrong I love Jimmy too but he needs to make this one "Manga Fan" right rather than "Audience Product" right... RIGHT???

    ME DEAMANDS THE "R" FOR THIS MOVIE... WHOS WITH ME!!!

  • IzzyXgallY, I'm with you! I mean PG-13? I've read every book in the series, even the sequal and it's definatly not PG-13 material! RATED "R" ALL THE WAY!

  • I totally agree...there is so much violence. I seem to recall several dead babys too.

  • @IzzyXgallY I'll buy that. I don't think Gunnm was EVER meant for teens.

  • @IzzyXgallY Hell yes, I am with you.

    No fun without the bolts and blood spilling out everywhere....

    And I would love to see Alita being robotically nude.

  • @IzzyXgallY . I'm with u on this one. T2 was hardcore R rated and it was the biggest box office hit of the year. However I serious l doubt it will be R rated, they are going for the billion dollar plus box office and they want the boys and girls to watch it too.

  • @IzzyXgallY I reckon M or MA15+. If it's R then much less people will see it.

  • @IzzyXgallY Alita shes all about raw killing, if he makes the movie and is not Raw, and bloody, i rather want him to NOT make it.

  • @IzzyXgallY Cameron has never, not once mentioned what rating Battle Angel will be aiming for.

  • @IzzyXgallY pg13 rating? GOD DAMN IT

    well he can't rape it too bad. he said he was a fan, and he hasnt really made any bad movies to date

  • @IzzyXgallY from wht i remember of the manga and the OVA...they should come up with a rating of its own XD, the fight scenes were brutal

  • This was from the Sega Saturn game released in 1994, 1995, or 1996 ( sorry I forget the year now, and no it wasn't 2006). I first saw screenshots in 1995 or 1996 and some of this vid in 1996 or 1997. Battle Angel Alita ( it has a couple other names) was a Manga Series, then an Anime ( I think the Anime came out in 1993),.. then the game for Sega Saturn came out. Wasn't a big deal, was released in Japan,.. Saturn not pop in US. Not related to Matrix, Halo, or Unreal ( they didn't exist yet!)

  • sailortinkitty-shut up you spastic tard.

    Gunnm Martian Memory was a Japan only Playstation game released in 1998.

    This animation is not part of the game, it is from a region 2 dvd included with volume 6 of the Gunnm Perfect Collection.

    Now gtfo you dumb twat.

  • It was the Intro to a HL2 or Unreal Tournament Mod, which never made it into Alphastate.

  • That was awsome!

    BAttle sport of the future. The new basketball!!!

    I want season tickets please!

  • Yes and i like it!

  • Gali solo tenia una hoja, no dos.

  • the movie isnt do out till 2011

  • I heard that Cameron is working on the movie allready. And that it will come to cinema on 2009

  • what? u serios?!O_o

  • last date i saw for 2009 was january 6. havnt heard much about 2011.

  • no 2009 is for avatar..

    battle angel is next..in pre-prod

  • I have this film on a disc that came with a special edition graphic novel of Gunnm... I think it was book 2

  • Simplemente cojonudo. Para mi alita es uno de los mejores manga que existen. Una lastima que nunca se haya aprovechado bien para una seri de animacion larga, un juego o una peli...o bien que si existen nunca hayan salido de japon

  • cool smash metal

  • Yes this is going to be a real movie. In fact, James Cameron (Titanic) is allegedly attached to the project (after Avatar is complete)!

  • He better whoop some ass on it or I will personally harm him. In his face. Probably with a stick.

    I love my Alita.

  • Ditto man.

    When it comes out, if there's gonna be an international news that cinemas are being burned nationwide because battle angel alita the movie sucked, u know it's gonna be me. LoL.

    But seriously man. I love my Alita too. More than Dragonball.

  • in 2009, there will be a movie live action

  • is this going to be a movie? or is this fan made plz tell me its a movie

  • i can't wait for the live action film.

    IT'S GONNA BE SO COOL!!!

  • i can't wait for the live action film.

    IT'S GONNA BE SO COOL!!!

  • like the video - nice "find" for an advert from japan.... not seen Battle Angel Alita for years... I used to get the manga years ago! How do you get sooo many ratings? no-one rates mine! :)

  • this commercial was created to inroduce a new 3d program in japan but dont remember wich one , never thought to find it here

  • Wasn't it called Shade?

  • no i think it was softimage i really dont remember

  • does anyone know the name of this song

  • At the end of the video says that musi is Waterblonde, by Den. I've been searching this track for two years and not found it yet. :(

    Luck, if you try to find it.

  • i have the track in one of my external disks, if i find it ill let you know

  • most excellent.

  • It's like IGPX, except better. :)

  • What exactly is this clip from? Is it a stand alone short project?

  • Not SAC but Battle Angel Alita by Yukito Kishiro

  • I know it's Battle Angel Alita...I meant, is this a short film ("stand alone project" in the actual sense of the word) or a clip from somethign I don't know about. A TV commercial? A student project? It's not from the battle angel alita anime.

  • About that movie- guess who's directing? I think you may have heard of him. He directed little movies like

    -Aliens

    -The Terminator

    -Rambo

    -Titanic

    MOHTERFUCKIN JAMES CAMERON IS DOING THE BATTLE ANGEL MOVIE.

  • Aaah, I remember seeing this 5 years ago. I nearly crapped my pants in excitement, hah!

  • This is great! I remember these scenes from the comic. ^^ Thanks for sharing.

  • There is a movie coming out in 2008,2009,2010. One of those dates. Anyone able to send a link to a trailer?

  • It's 2009, and there aren't any trailers yet. You can look it up at imdb or some other movie site.

  • I haven't seen the anime in so long. Does anyone know where to get a free download of it? Me broke.

  • You'd be lucky to find it. . . VERY lucky. They dicontinued the release. I'm one of the lucky few owners of the dvd. . . Cost me big though :(

  • How much? Where did you get it?

  • I know some people relized that youtube is deleting all anime shows. pisoga(.)com is a website that has a lot of anime/movies that you can watch for free. Seriously. For free.

    Pisoga(.)com the best anime/movies stream site.

  • wow! soooo cool...i would love to have heelies like that ...hahaha

  • screw the heels I want the suit.

  • The movie will be done for 2009, directed by James Cameron, CG

  • There is supposed to be a movie sometime.. but i don't think it's going to be only CG, like Final Fantasy.. the guy who did Aliens is supposed to have taken up the story for a movie adaptation...

    .: Kiyote Wolf

  • Is it going to be a 3D movie now or a game?

  • would be cool for a 3D game they probably will to this now the playstation 3 is out

  • Thats hot. SO is the music

  • i've seen this before seems very intresting jus wish a company would go somewhere with this

  • i like the music

  • it was made by yukito for the outside of gunnm, big edition.. make me think to wipeout 2097 :))

  • That's cool, I've always actually wondered where this came from.
