Echoing some comments from other reviewers I am failing to see how some of these ZOTT graphic novels fit into the canon and spirit of the series.
I have been reading BAA since 1994 and appreciate the series for the character development and growth associated with Alita and the characters supporting her. The central character has been too absent in Last Order of late (Space Karate just lacks something, honestly) and the ZOTT serves merely as a vehicle to place battles after battles for their own gratuity.
Anyone remember the Motorball sequences from the original series and Alita's fight with Jashugan - now that is why I read and re-read the original manga series. I felt real emotion in this and other moments (Figure 4, Nova, Ido). I keep hoping that Last Order will meet some of this potential - Kushiro has it in him to do it. Or is it a case of or had it in him and it is now gone?Get more detail about Battle Angel Alita: Last Order, Vol. 13 (Battle Angel Alita (Graphic Novels)).
