Viewing Notes
Really wild to watch this after seeing ALITA. Even more wild that they told basically the same story here in under an hour (around 50 minutes) compared to the 2 hours of the live action film. Of course they added much to live action film including all the motorball stuff which isn’t even a part of this adaptation. Here it’s more of a gladiator arena thing but is only in the background, never part of the main story.
Much of the same story beats are here including some shots that are used in the live action. Now having seen the live action movie a few times I can appreciate this anime version a lot more. I got the first volume of the manga in my kindle app so that’s next.
