It was nice to read about Alita again. I liked the first 2/3 of the book. The last 1/3, about going into space... was not my coup of tea. Overall too much fighting. Still a fast nice read for any fan that wants to catch up with this character.

Instead of your usual generic sci-fi dystopian, great build-up with detailed cultural references.

Don't like it as much as the original series but is still a good edition. Hoping it will speed up later in the series.

Last Order begins with an exciting premise: FINALLY, we see Tiphares. Then it becomes a king fu tournament slow enough to rival Goku v Frieza. This combined with the weaker artwork makes the whole thing generally unpleasant by the end. I’ve finished and reread this a few times for some kind of payoff, maybe I’m missing it, but no… it’s actually more work than it’s worth to finish.

This is my least favorite installment in the series.

Aïe aïe aïe
Quel dommage que ce besoin d'argent. la première série Gunnm était vraiment bien fichue. Mais là, il ne reste plus grand chose de l'espèce d'illumation de l'auteur. Là, on n'a plus droit qu'à de la violence totallement gratuite ou presque.
Cela dit, à bien y réfléchir, les premiers tomes de Gunnm étaient aussi assez faibles. je vais donc essayer de me faire toute la série histoire de voir si le niveau s'élève, ou si on reste à raz des paquerettes.

Last Order's a bit of a step down after the original Alita, but to be fair, it had a long way to come down. It's still entertaining in its own right.

Today is a sad, sad day. The original Battle Angel was my favorite graphic novel of all time (since I was a teen too). It was drawn so amazingly well and written with such dark human emotion. A masterpiece in my book. So when I heard Kishiro (who ended the series abruptly) would start again, I was elated. But when I started reading this, I was crushed. Last Order has lost ALL the elements that made the original so special. The art is so simple it border-lines on bad (due to him moving over to drawing on a computer). While the action and movement is still well done, the style has changed. It is much less creative. And finally, the storytelling is missing all the character driven plot. All those interesting characters that you could sympathize, that were sad, that were real. Here the story is just a jumble. Nothing focused. Nothing interesting. Just about guns and fights. Battle Angel has become simply a Japanese comic for boys. Such a sad end for such a (once) great series.

the book in like the 40 century about robots martial arts and of the best is alita one of the best but one day some one a human destroyed her and now she is reborn.

Actual rating: 4-and-a-half stars

Obra totalmente desigual y caótica.

First English omnibus physical collection.

Alica battle angle rebirth!

The drawing is intense and full of motion, showed the beautiful of female warrior body and mind that fussed into what people like to called battle angel.

4/5 stars for this volume, about 3/5 stars for the series ~

Last Order pales in comparison to the original Battle Angel Alita (Gun Dream / Gunnm) series, which was so deep in its art, darkness, emotion, and hope in half as many volumes. This unnecessarily long series has very little coherent story even though it tries to invent an interplanetary community, and focuses way too much on endless fighting with bizarre creatures and none of the depth and character development that made the fights mean something in Gunnm. Reading both series is like watching an adult who fought so hard to discover him/herself reverting back into a violent, hormone-driven teenager. Don't bother, stick to Gunnm.
