If you enjoyed the movie Elysium you should enjoy this anime. Elysium re-skinned much of the plot. That being said, it's different enough that if you have seen Elysium it will not ruin the story for you.

I watched this when I was 7 and was my first experience with Anime. It will always have a special place in my heart

I thought it was a bit over-rated, but I have heard better things about the manga and it covers the entire story rather than the 2 episode snippet we see here

Hmmm, a half decent action anime that consists of 2 parts. It's a bit short, but it's not too bad. The animation is ok... the face of the doctor is longer than that of a horse, but apart from that there isn't anything seriously out of place. "Battle Angel Alita" had nice background music going for it, which lent it some good atmosphere. The story had some good ideas, but is somewhat incomplete. Heh, that's the main trouble with "Battle Angel Alita" actually. It felt like a chunk was missing between the two parts that it comprises, with the relationship between the characters suddenly taking a giant leap forward going from one episode to the other. Although it's probably meant to be that way, the result is that it simply felt like they were too lazy to actually flesh out the character interactions properly and just took a short cut. The characters were somewhat interesting at first, but due to the lack of polishing, the potential went to waste and they ended up as the weakest aspect of the anime."Battle Angel Alita" felt slightly rushed in general, maybe because the anime was made to fit into 2 episodes, and the character development suffered the most because of this. I like the idea behind it, although it's definitely been done before.
