    This is an anime at the best! This is all-the-time my favourite sci-fi-action anime just before I bought the Manga comic book series. The movie works because it's small. Everything is good but not exceptionally good. Because of this running time of only one hour is perfect. Be ad... read morevised, though an animated feature, Battle Angel is graphic violent. It is NOT a cartoon. No cute bunnys.
    At first the whole thing with Gally being built as a "warrior" machine fails to impress me, I know It's a vital part of the plot but the fighting parts... It's just taking pleasure in super-violence, the monsters are really but-ugly. But then I figured the violence-theme is really just contributing to the sense of this grim fictional-world and the contrast to this which is the love story of the film.

    Cool flick about a young cyborg who hunts spine thieves. She falls in love with an obsessed kid who really, really, REALLY wants to get to the city hanging above them
    Short, but effective. Check it out.

    Top notch animation from of the highly successful Gunnm manga. A shame it was never continued past two OVAs.

    It's hard to find this movie or any of the episodes, or at least it has been for me. At any rate it's great and I thank my brother for showing it to me when I was younger.

    I love this anime, great story. I am not big on remakes but I have always thought this would make a great live action movie if done right. Well guess what, James Cameron one of my favorite filmmakers is remaking it and its been greenlit with the largest budget ever! Look for i... read moret in 2009.
