WOW. Just WOW. I did not think it would be this good. It genuinely was an amazing experience. Between all the existential horror and questions to the action to the beautiful ending it was a really emotionally intense experience.

My favorite moments:

Alita’s journey in the space station where she regains her memories fully. From the downright gorgeous cruelty of Yoko’s violence in the flashback to finally learning how she ended up on earth it was amazing seeing Alita remember and come to terms with herself just to reach Melchizedek and find out her brain was a chip setting about another existential “what is a human question” was just amazing.

ANY and I mean ANY moment with my GOAT Sechs. From the moment he appeared on screen I was hooked by the concept and he just kept getting better as a character. I LOVED his warrior’s journey his fight with Niz was a highlight in particular the art there was so good. (Also having a trans character in such a good story made me really happy.)

The ending was just beautiful. From seeing alita grow wings to symbolize her moving forward whilst also calling back to the angel motifs that were so heavily present in the original series was amazing. All the way to the ending where she lets the alita residing in the original brain to have her happy ending with figure four while the alita we’ve been following the whole manga continues on to journey in space (which I’m sure will be where mars chronicle kicks off) was just such a nice have your cake and eat it too moment.

In conclusion I think this is my favorite manga I’ve ever read. I’ll definitely read mars chronicle and think a LOT about all the philosophy in this one. I’d LOVE to talk about this with people so that’s why I made this post. PLEASE DO NOT SPOIL MARS CHRONICLE FOR ME I WANT TO GO INTO IT BLIND.

Thank you for reading :D
