I have some manga waiting to be read. My manga experience is basically Junji Ito’s comics. Have Ghost in the Shell and Appleseed comics in library. Started from Battle Angel Alita. Those were on sale. Wanted to check if I should buy those. Knew only the name and that there is movie based on manga.
I wasn’t sure what to expect but maybe I should have expected it to be about fighting when it has battle angel in name. It got me off guard when antagonist was introduces and he started to eat people’s brains. Earlier parts didn’t prepare you for something like that. I liked what came before more but it was ok after that too. Some manga has weird way of mixing colored pages and black and white pages. I have understood manga artist draw insane amounts pages. It is like colored pages show how good they could color if they had time to do it. At least in some cases like this. Would have loved to have whole book colored but most of the pages are black and white. Good looking black and white but not as good looking as colored.
Didn’t expect to like comic about fighting as much as I did. Art has lot to do with it. Want to know more about the world. Liked it well enough to get quite a few books from sale.
