While I have warrior-women (well kind-of) on my mind (and what male anime-fan doesn't? Wink), how about the 2nd half of the Battle Angel/Gunnm OAVs about Gally/Alita.

As far as I understand, the first two were rereleased on DVD which tells the first half of the story, which I have seen, and there was release on VHS by some small company of the 3rd and 4th a long time back. (I hope I'm getting my story straight, it's been over a year since Jiss and I researched this.) I have the manga, but I prefer watching anime before reading manga, particularly when they tell the same or similar story, so I've never read it.

Anyways, I guess I just felt like poking around for some rarer stuff. More curious if subbed encodes of these things exist than anything.

(Note: If anyone is aware of plans to release this on DVD, please let me know and I'll cancel the request, as I feel this is well worth buying.)

Are you sure they exist? I thought they were just a myth like the Riding Bean TV series, Bigfoot, the perpetual motion machine and the fisherman who caught one "this<--------------------------------------> big".

You never read any of the manga? It's quite different. The anime mixes volume 01-02 of the manga together. By that I mean the first OAV is not a direct adaptation of volume 01 of the manga. It mixes elements of volume 01-02 together ie. Yugo is introduced in OAV 01 but doesn't show up in the manga until vol.02.

The thing about the manga is that is was sooooo depressing... totally different feel than the anime.

Anyway, I've only seen the first 2 as well...

Strictly speaking? No. However, Jiss and I researched the subject a good bit a long time ago and he found some information about a company that released VHS (raw) episodes of them. Now how accurate that information was, I cannot say. I can ask him if he remembers more about it when next I speak with him.

Re: Manga - *nod* Thanks for the info
