,,,reading the entire series of Battle Angel Alita.  I'm now up to Chapter 7 of the sequel manga.

Any other fans out there?

I read a good portion of the original manga towards the end of its run, but never did get around to reading Last Order. I think that and Legend of Mother Sarah were the first manga I read with any kind of regularity.

As is probably obvious by the fact that I read the entire series in a day, I'm kind of blown away by it. The art is great, it's thematically much more nuanced than I expected, and I adore the main character -- even today, it's pretty notable to find an action heroine who isn't sexually objectified by the narrative, so to find it in a fifteen to twenty year old manga is even cooler.
