GUNNM LAST ORDER FORUM SERIES

The current story arc got a little silly as there WAS a fighting tournament (something that kills my interest quickly, but the gory combat, love for individual fighting styles both real and made up, and bits of war philosophy kept me reading), but kishiro has in this latest volume explained the title of the series and expanded the scope to the secondary characters, which is great. The last order series is sometimes referred to as an alternate universe, but it really is the ending the creator, yukito kishiro, planned for the series, as he reveals that the world really is earth in the jaw droppingly far future, and shows how it got into that state. While the series could easily devolve into warlord of the week stuff, it is actually an action packed serious story that delves deeply into philosophy, psychology, sexuality (to an extent, a few questions are raised regarding cyborg bodies and human sexual desire)and what it means to be human when the only human part of you is your brain. He repairs her(not re-activate, as all cyborgs in the series retain their human brain), and her story begins. Alitas mostly destroyed body is discovered by daisuke ido, an a tipharean exile living in secret in the scrap yard. No-one can just go to tiphares, as it is miles in the sky and has numerous self defense systems. Attached to the scrap yard is a floating/hanging futuristic utopia called tiphares, the origins of which remain shrouded in mystery, but are the main food source for the scrap yard (they essentially eat and make their homes out of their offal). The series is set in a dark future post apocalyptic landscape called the scrap yard, which is a giant slum. you need to explain that whole sentence to me -)Īh! You mean I didn't talk your ear off about battle Angel alita last time?īattle Angel alita, called gundream (gunnm) in japan, is about a fully cyborg girl who is the master of an ancient anti cyborg fighting technique.

Just got the latest issue, this is a real cry back to the philosophical arguements of the first series, although I did not care for the ending.
