Read Gunnm and Angel Cop

[cybboy-unit]

I have seen in some topics that some members were looking for the website on which they would be able to read Gunnm (Battle Angel Alita).

If you haven't found such a website yet, here is one (but I'm quite sure there are others):

http://unixmanga.com/onlinereading/Batt ... plete.html

This link is for the first series of Gunnm, you cannot read Gunnm Last Order there, but don't worry , I have found another site for Gunnm Last Order:

http://www.mangareader.net/1047/battle- ... order.html

I will also kill two birds with one stone by giving you another link where you'll be able to see the complete manga of Kitazaki, Angel Cop.
I did see the anime, and I discovered that there was a paper manga that had been done by Kitazaki, and I have spend nearly two years looking for it. I did have found some scnalations here and there but I never found out the complete manga... until the day I have found this website:

http://g.e-hentai.org/g/144725/8f387a2ac6/

Here you have the complete manga, unfortunately it is still in Japanese, no English translation had been made so far... that would be a good idea, isn't it ?

Alita is quite well done and an excellent story on posthumanism.

Angel Cop plain sucks. :/

However angel cop at least looks like a machine (even though she has telescopic weaponry coming from god knows where which severely undermines her credibility as a machine)

Instead Alita is hands down a great story and has lots of battle damage and stuff, but there are only very few shots of alita where she looks like a machine (mostly in the racing subplot where she is dismantled like once per every grocery sale, and also changes bodies since she has a racing body and an everyday body), most of the times she either looks human with a jumpsuit or some armor on.

Also since this is an adult fetish site it's worth nothing that both are totally unfappable since there is not erotic subtext in both. However in Alita there is at least one romance subplot (strictly platonic since she "isn't equipped" if you catch my drift).

There are also people translating Alita Last Order, which is a WTF spinoff where the author has drastically changed the epic and serious story into a big wtf moment of pure dickery. I still find it enjoyable but it's also a big step down from the original (for me at least, other people love dickery especially when delivered with a big 3d stick and love the spin off better than the original)

Yeah.... all of these are available in print... and you should be buying them instead of stealing them. Seriously. Besides, the quality is better in print.

[BD]

i'm buying them as they come out, but the scanlations come out sooner and are more advanced in the story.

[gynoneko]

Ok, yes for the ones that have not yet been released, go ahead and use the scanlations. However, if you like it, please buy it when it comes out. It really helps the book companies to stay in business and continue to translate and release these awesome books.

[cybboy-unit]

This is the same thing for me, I only use scanlations when I cannot find and buy the mangas in French.

It's a shame the Angelcop manga has not been translated in English at least, even if it sucks apparently, I would just have liked to understand what they're talking about ^^.

[Esomark]

I haven't read Angel Cop but I'm familiar with Gunnm. It's like Ghost in the Shell meets Dragon Ball, especially during Last Order.

Yep. It also helps the bookstores stay in business too. I'm friends with the Border's workers and the only local comic dealer in my area respectively and I don't want their businesses to fall. I read online scans mainly to catch up and if the series either never got a complete translation or might never get officially translated at all but if I see the volumes on the shelf, I'll buy them.

And alita is pretty much a ROBOT right now!( what a twist.)

[--NightBattery--]

and they finally are resuming the Last order story

Border?

[gynoneko]

Borders Books. http://www.borders.com/online/store/Home
Not Border's, but an honest mistake. I used to always go to Borders, but now it is hard to find one around me that is still open. I did just pick up the latest Alita Last Order, good stuff. I don't want to spoil anything for anyone, but yes, it is a cool twist.

[Esomark]

Yeah, I wasn't thinking when I spelled the store title. I thought the name would be familiar enough. Can't wait for volume 15 so we'll finally be caught up with the Japanese release.

[--NightBattery--]

yup. she's getting to the goku league

[Esomark]

Right now, she could probably take 23rd Budokai Goku.

Hmmm, she has wings now.

[gynoneko]

DANG IT!! When did the latest issue come out?! I need to run to my local Bord-... Barnes and Nobel and get me a copy.
I hate that store have seemingly stopped carrying this title unless you specifically order it.

[Esomark]

I actually got Volume 15 a week before its official release (two days go) through special order there! Since Yukishiro didn't pull a Togashi or Miura on his series when he went on a break, he had enough chapters recently to have a 16th volume so we're behind the Japanese release again but hey, atleast we are close enough!

In my area atleast, I've seen it there (20 minute drive and Borders went bye bye here) and there's two specialty stores about an hour from me that carry it. I think I helped save it from becoming clearance material only at one of the stores as I was told they were cutting back their manga selection since a bunch were not selling well but I bought a good chunk of it in time and they didn't axe it after that. They pretty much carry more Dark Horse titles than anything else but since it's one of the few places where I can find Oh My Goddess!, I can't complain too much.

[--NightBattery--]

i hated the tail.

[T-elos/Thurosis]

i hated the tail.

finally someone said it XD

haha ^^

[Esomark]

i hated the tail.

She still has it, along with a pair of wings.

[gynoneko]

Well I like the tail... Cat girl thing going on. I can't complain. Granted... It doesn't really fit her character but she seems to have been undergoing a personality change or something slowly... Making her more cute when she isn't killing everyone.

[Esomark]

I like the tail myself as well. It fits her current personality and not to mention, we already have a lot of tailless protagonists in many battle manga so why not?

[--NightBattery--]

at least the wings are gone, for now, as long she don't get silly shoes and a toy hammer everything is fine...and now the karate guy that was dead has unexpectedly pressed the P2 start button.
didn't saw that coming. o,O

[Esomark]

Yeah, that was a complete WTF moment! 0-0 I had a feeling Don Fua/Tonpu would come back but not so suddenly and in a body horror-type way!
Maybe Zekka will finally go all out since he's pulled an Akuma many times over now and whoever stands last will have to face Gally.
