Battle Angel Alita (OAV)

Well, I’m going to return to doing reviews of anime I’ve watched once I’ve finished with the series. I’m not going to review shows that I haven’t completed (unless I didn’t complete it because it’s crap) and I’m not going to review ongoing shows (unless I feel that the show really really diserves it).
So I watched Battle Angel over the weekend, after Scott said it was a good show. I’d seen the ending many times while watching AMVHell 3 so I kind of new what was coming. Heres the synopisis for the story, I pinched this one from ANN as it seems to sum up the story nicely:
Doc Ido, a doctor and mechanic who lives and works in the hellish, postapocalyptic “Scrapyard”, finds the – miraculously preserved – remains of a female cyborg in a junk heap. After he revives and rebuilds her, the preternaturally strong, amnesiac “Gally” begins to forge a life for herself in a world where every day can bring a fight for life. Adapts the first two volumes of the “Battle Angel Alita” manga.
I liked the episodes. It kept me watching through the full hour, and at the end I was wanting more. I guess if I want more I’ll have to buy the Manga. Oh well
. The animation was decent and the acting was decent too. I wasn’t blown away, but it wasn’t a waste of time either.
Rating: Decent, good way to pass an hour and you want to watch anime.
