I found this small animation a long time ago, and posted it on my YouTube channel in order to preserve it and allow other people to learn of its existence.

I don't know who the original author is. No one knows, actually. It's a mystery... A juicy and beautiful mystery that has kept me—and many others— intrigued for years now.

What soul in this world would have the skill and the time to create a masterpiece such as this, brief as it is?

I fear that this is the closest we'll ever get to having a proper GUNNM anime. It's not much, but it doesn't hurt peaking at that dream for just a few seconds thanks to this beautiful animation.

Anyways, if anyone knows who the original author is, then please feel free to share it, but I frankly doubt it, since nowadays this is considered a sort of "lost media" without a proper author named.

Enjoy, and whoever gifted us with this beauty, I sincerely say Thank You, from the bottom of my heart.

Note: This is not publicity for my channel, ok? I just have it uploaded there for practical reasons.

>!• We get the first official introduction to the Schneider school, one of the main schools of Panzer Kunst that Alita specialized in.!<

>!• Timo Hoffman—the instructor—seems like a pretty chill guy for now. Sadly, we all know what happens to chill guys in GUNNM (👉 "🪦".)!<

>!• It seems that, once mastered in the basics of Panzer Kunst, the "schools" can be chosen based on personality and personal preference.!<

>!I wonder what that signifies for Alita herself, given that she specialized in the Schneider School (strikes), Gossen School ("secret"—Geheimnis—combat techniques through rhythm), and the Mauser School (the most prominent one through the series and from which many of her most famous techniques—like the elbow blade—come from). Schools are also called "Styles".!<

>!• Erica is already a monster in combat. No wonder she gave Zazie and her special forces team a run for their money. If she's already a beast as a mere "rookie", I can't imagine how monstrous she's become after more than 200 years.!<

>!Anyways, that's all for now. Pretty short chapter really, but with a bunch of new lore and awesome panels. Little by little, the secrets of Panzer Kunst are revealed at last! (Personally, I can't wait to finally see Operation Maulwurf and the Cam Ranh Tragedy in all their gruesome glory, as well as Erica and Yoko's final clash that ended with Erica turned into a Necrosoldier)!<

Until next time!

>!I love that they actually named Yoko as "Yoko Sonnan", instead of simply Yoko. Pretty neat.!<

>!I'm so curious about that girl Mika Harin. If she managed to pass the Gauntlet Exam and stand with the Goats (Parabellum Zerbah, Erika and Yoko) then there MUST be something special about her. We'll have to wait and see.!<

>!Gelda is also a riot. Just what I expected from her lol. Also Erika and Alita are finally beginning Panzer Kunst training under her.!<

>!The Emblem of Wind and Sand also has a cool design. Love it.!<

>!I'm honestly surprised that only two kids (the ugly kid and Tico), out of almost 2000, died.!<

>!Anyways, ultra peak, can't wait to see more.!<
