| Topic | Tom resumes reading all the Bolo Household Manga Collection (spoilers) |
| Tom Bombadil 10/14/19 7:59:53 AM #96: | The first of which is a large compendium of Battle Angel Alita. It's a deluxe edition that is gonna take a few sessions to get through. It's got a foreword and some colorized pages and a hardback and stuff! We're still in the early stages, but it's following (or I guess followed by) the movie pretty closely so far IIRC. Dr. Ido finds a cyborg in a scrap pile, and rebuilds her. She has lost her memory but is a highly skilled fighter. We find out that Ido is a bounty hunter in his spare time (after a misunderstanding that he was the serial killer he was hunting) and have a few tussles with our first major enemy. Alita gets a new, more combat-ready body, and whatshisface murders the underground fighting champion and takes his. We're gonna have some issues with this guy. It's about what I expected! It's from an era slightly older than my sweet spot, but the art is gorgeously detailed nonetheless. Everything's gorier than my tastes, but not as gory as it could be I guess- lots of heads and faces getting ripped off, but they don't proceed to have body parts all strewn about at least. Seems to be on track for a solid 8/10. --- https://imgtc.com/i/uWMMlnN.png Tone yo' flab ... Copied to Clipboard! |
