/ALITA/
It flopped
>user thinks I'm cute
Flop kun i missed you friend
Into my heart.
Shit, you just beat me. I concede defeat, but it's not letting me delete my thread.
Get woke, get flope'
Bout to enjoy my haul
You'll be allowed to delete it after a few more seconds have passed.
In my heart, yes.
So did you guys have fun what happened there
;_;
It'll be spare
Is this if Natalie Portman was cast as Alita?
That's a pretty hot image, where did that come from?
I'm getting tired. I think its time for me to get some sleep. Cant be late for work! this general is the best.
not just me fren also the power of dubs
Apparently they had a lot of fun
Could not be more jealous. To hell with being stuck in the Midwest. Glad you guys had fun though. I'll get on a damn plane next time. Here's to bigger and better for the sequel.
Was a great time. I loved meeting everyone.
Who would win in a fight, Alita or K?
Remember K also has pneumatic implants, at one point in the movie he runs through a thick concrete wall like it's rice paper.

Casper Van Dien tweeted this one out recently
Alita would still win by an absurd margin. She's far more advanced.
Alita can deflect bullets with the Damascus blade so definitely Alita
Also... here's some new pics i haven't seen posted yet
>VERIFIED
Had a wonderful time
We all clicked immeditayely, and /healed/ irl
I’ll never forget them
Zalem isn’t up there, it’s the friends you make along the way
Great meeting you too!!
Reminder you will never be a turbo chad with this QT in your arms.
>Alita can deflect bullets with the Damascus blade so definitely Alita
Oh right, I forgot it was based on an anime.
Just don't end up in a box user.
Cute and Wholesome
What
Yeah! Viewing party when
Don't even start with anime Alita
Once the Blu ray FINALLY drops.
Great meeting you voiceanon
I recognised you as soon as you said hi
You were all wonderful
>wearing a gray suit to cgi in a topless torso
Fuck that shit he should have had some crazy Roberto body
These threads aren't even funny anymore
>Rent
>F R E E
You know, this would be a really cool cosplay. I mean, the mix of practical costume and mocap suit. I call dibs on being Gangsta. You guys can push me around on a wooden dolly.
Funny isn't the point, comfy is.
Hopefully soon~
How sweet~ I'm glad you like my content, user. It was great meeting you too! We all hit it off so well.
Sounds like an excellent plan
Did you miss the absolutely insane argument two guys had a few days ago about transhumanism because that was pretty fun
That was like last night. And yeah, it was off the hook.
> tfw the iron city actors gave us all meet-up anons limited edition shirts and lanyards because they were touched by our story of meeting from different places because of the movie
It was only yesterday. Yeah, these threads move pretty fast. To sum up
> insane transhumanism debate
> motorball hooligans
> 400 million sexual mark passed twice, soon thrice
> 4K limited steelbook
> FPS wars, some guy claiming that there's a human FPS and we thought he was trolling until we realized he was actually insane
> OC
> vinyl
> VHS
> more motorball hooligans
> possibly the return of flop-kun
Congrats. Probably helps that it’s the last weekend.
I love my shirt so much
I wanted an alita shirt but i didnt like the green or red one they had so it was perfect
So much /HEALING/
Don't forget a suspected tweet by Jerome
Oh FUCK I totally forgot FPS guy that person is legendary
fuck I wish I somehow could have attended even though im from europe
I'm pretty jealous, I just live nowhere near that thing and am locked down by my job otherwise I'd be there without hesitation
Too bad we couldn't get Zalem tokens for everyone... that would of been the cherry on top.
Could just be all those panzer beers I drank, but it still feels surreal. Everything just went so incredibly well, you were all brilliant.
I’m definitely framing the group pic and I’ll cherish this night forever
Don't worry come the sequel we can have an /Alita/ takes the US trip for opening night.
More pics
I’m from England but I live in LA
We all came from different walks of life and still hit it off incredibly
We’re doing this again for the sequel, only more of us
I got lucky winning that dice draw for the token, but my zalem was meeting all of you
I think this guy is an actual shill-for-free turbofan (on of us) who took the Jerome name to shit on Jerome. No way this is a coincidence.
Yeah, it was really special!
If you're ever around, definitely hit me up sometime, even if its not Alita related.
>5388 words transcribed.

WRITEFAG
WHY YOU DO THIS TO ME?!
For sure voiceanon
I’d love to hang out again. I’ll work on that discord tomorrow and keep in touch
>discord
*backs away slowly*
Cool~ see ya there.
Discord is a fine person to person messaging service it's coordinated servers that become unadulterated cancer
IRC over HF pactor radio only
This mfer knows what's up.
You did it to yourself friend. I just showed you a door you were the one to step through it.
>devil trips
>temptation
I'm on to you.
Ok but actual question what is the communication infrastructure like in Iron City? We see phones essentially but no internet?
Idk never used it, but it sounds like a good tool to keep in touch with the anons I met, or at least to set up another meeting sometime
I didn’t get abducted by any of them so I’m willing to meet up again
We see antennas all over the place, but Ido lives almost right next to the Motorball stadium, and all the scenes when they talk to each other is basically line-of-sight. You could do this with a CB radio. We sometimes hear Russian taxis on the CB.
>walkie-talkies
Yeah I figured as much. Then there's probably physical wiring for the motorball screens?
>Talkie-walkies
Everytime I ask user to tell me why I should watch Alita, I always get meme answer like "she's cute!", "she's my waifu!", "she's wholesome and she will heal you" and "you will feel better afterwards".
That's all fine and good but it sounds to me that they're all just dodging the elephant in the room and try to sugarcoat the fact that the actual story of the movie is lackluster with constant waifubaiting.
>being british
Motorball is run by the Factory. There's both wireless and wired infrastructure for piping motorball straight into the audience's heads, and if unchipped to VR.
You need to lurk this general more if you still don't know why we love this movie. The reasons have been explained to death.
Mainly, Rosa's performance is top tier and the CG is amazing.
Who told you that Alita is his waifu? She is MY waifu! I love her!
Oh there's way more than that. It's a genuine 90s styled sci-fi adventure with an exceptionally well produced batch of CG effects and performances which aren't scared to be a little cheesy for the sake of building the world. It doesn't try to be self aware or sardonic and is a huge breath of fresh air compared to a lot of the modern sci fi action movies.
Also Alita is CUTE.
JC has ultimate claim fren
>CGI character
>"performance"
I was gonna ask for a picture of our passes together but totally forgot
Also thanks to everyone who went today. I'm really sorry I didn't make it in time. I was speechless when I realized than more anons had shown up. I would've loved to have been on your team and sat down with you but at least I did get a chance to say hi. You are the real mvps
Based traffic jam user. Godspeed.
god damn it i was stuck at work in ausland whilst other anons got to go to the iron city experience together. I'm flying over for the sequel, fuck it, nothing else in life has made me this happy, its not worth cheaping out on.
Nice meeting you drawfren!
Good thing we all hanged out for a little longer and met you. It was a brief chat but it was pleasant and we all clicked
>The Alita Experience in LA, Austin and NYC is ending
>Because we’re going on tour to Australia and Europe
Please, Santa
>sardonic
Thank god. I'm sick of "self-referential" humor and constant ironic bullshit. Who said it that too much irony corrodes the soul?
Did you ever get enough lines for the bar scene?
The meet up anons story really warms my heart! The healing is real!
Feels good browsing /ALITA/ at work on a quiet saturday night. You guys brighten up my day.
Taiwan. Here's the special event they did tonight, and the theater is going to screen it more times because of this.
Dude, when you see some of the scenes, and then imagine having to do them with a straight face while wearing the shit Rosa had to wear, you'll understand that it was a freaking performance.
Ah, I actually almost asked for one too. Still, it was really good to see you!! Next time we'll have to sit down and have a proper conversation.
Hmmm? I'm not sure what you're referring to
Damn son
Also dumping a few new photos. One of the people in my team was from Shenzhen and he told me about the craze the movie has in China. He says even his parents loved the movie and have seen it 5 times already.
It was!
We even had a lad join in our team who wasn’t even from Yea Forums, just a guy in it to check out the experience, and we hit it off with him as well. He was /healed/
Voiceanon wasn't the one collecting those lines. I think it was Peaches?
Someone was collecting voice lines from us to recreate the bar scene. Assumed that was you because you're calling yourself voice user
>"not one step backwards" lane barriers
In Taiwan, Alita fans are so diehard they would rather burn and die than run away from a screening of Alita for any reason.
We did a lot of meme lines but they weren’t recorded because we were so into the conversation
Those are there because the seats move, and it's not recommended to use those lanes for walking due to the (small) crush risk. There are plenty of lanes to walk in though.
Heading home now, see ya in a couple hours.
Ah, nah, I do Alita voicework. clyp.it
Crush risk? You mean the risk of seeing fans flee crushing Alita's heart?
That's Peaches. He's still around so we'll see if we can get them done come BR.
Taiwan such strong.
Join me in the flight. I'm going come sequel.
Those seats are savage. We have a 4DX theater here in socal and the motorball sequence almost knocked my drink from the cupholder.
Alita fans: "We ride together, we die together"
Imagine being a deckman. What are your thoughts? Do you even have thoughts? What's the point?
>insane transhumanism debate
I'm still here
Trips of truth - also there are no stairs on the bottom of that lane. If some poor soul tried to go to the toilet through there in the dark, they'd first get squished by moving seats and then fall down three feet.
>tfw /alita/ takes over the premier
And this concludes tonight's dump of non-doxxing pictures
I think being a deckman is the most depressing guarantee of longevity and stability. It's like being a cashier 24/7 for the rest of your life in exchange for never being in need of anything again.
And we love you for it never leave. When time comes we'll need you again.
I want to be there for that piece of history
I do not question that the human soul is an embodied soul, user, and that organ rejection is a difficult problem. I like you.
alright writefag, together.
That was pretty intense, huh?
were you the one cussing at everyone and smashing his keyboard?
I was involved also but I can't even remember exactly what I said. It was a real shitshow.
>were you the one cussing at everyone and smashing his keyboard
I was the craziest one, the pagan anti-transhuman
Alright, honest opinions time. It seems like the majority of memes here are based on early, cute Alita with the doll body.
Which Alita do you actually prefer?
I like late-movie Alita because her warface turns me on and being an older guy I feel less awkward when she acts more mature.
>Which Alita do you actually prefer?
The one in the manga
I still love movie Alita and she introduced me to the manga Alita but when I think Alita now I think the original manga Alita (before LO)
Let's move on from the trans-humanism discussion. It was a very dark moment in this thread.
Doll, because I'm pretty young myself and it reminds me of the shenanigans that still happen at school
For most people, the doll-body Alita activates their parenting/nurturing instincts. I feel the same way about berserker alita, thought he novelization writer ...... well.
novel Alita just gets plain lewd
Doll Body. So innocent and bad fuckin ass at the same time.
is musicanon guy australian?
soundcloud.com
wait is this writefag.
>a genuine fun debate
>a very dark moment
God you are boring
berserker body with the sword because sci-fi swordplay is cool
I am a huge sucker for nanotech and cybernetic muscles so I have to say berserker.
Yeah the LEWD can be good sometimes but only if it's loving.
I think he is but he's not me.
what the hell is this
I mean I guess one could call it "a genuine fun debate" in the same sense that a particular kind of person might almost die in a session of erotic asphyxiation and then call it "really awesome sex."
Not the same user you replied to btw
Not fun when everything turned from a reasonable debate to flinging shit at each other and people becoming genuinely mad over words on the internet. It's good if you keep it civil but last night was not civil.
it's the kinda thing that's fun to do occasionally. as long as the core of the thread is here we can explore lots of direcitons
unique OC
more songs when
Where's all the dadposting?
Sounds australian, god, for their size, they have contributed a lot to /ALITA/.
this is so dumb and keeps making me laugh
Hi user, at work right now, but working on a new one at the moment.
yes, am ausfag
David Foster Wallace?
>removable arms
Not much to do down here other than shitpost and fight ibises for scabbing your food.
youtube.com
wtf
What they did for her was very commendable but Tilly herself is thoroughly plain and boring, almost borderline unlikable, IMO.
but yeah, hoping to finalise recording tomorrow.
>it's just a plant, dad
>it's all natural
Let her smoke bong with chocolate syrup.
Is that right?
These are the current scores.
fucking kek could also name it fuck your mercy
>alita smokes weed
>not amphetamine pills
She's an urm panzer werfer after all
For true epic nature, we'd need to simulate the internal structure of the doll body and whatever is going on in Grewishka's skull with all the augmentations and chips he has in there.
>effort
Nah
I really wish the novelty bars they're selling were more accurate to the size in the movie.
Let's be honest though, the shape and size of the chocolate bar in the movie was plain retarded
What's good is a chocolate bar you can't easily break a piece to share?
y-you got limited edition t-shirts?
It looks more like baking chocolate that's supposed to be used in baking. I'm not sure I would manage to eat much of that bar or even bite into it successfully.
remember in the /abag/ days when the score KEPT fluctuating between 59 and 60? i think i still have some of the pics saved
Am I the only one grossed out with how Alita was slurping and sucking on this chocolate, her drool covering it and it melting and mixing with her drool?
I want to barf even thinking about it
I don't remember this scene
Someone draw it?
>slurping and sucking on
LEWD
I can't explain why, but I cried like a bitch when she got her arms and got to go to the premier.
Do you guys think the passport to iron city will do an international tour?
I feel like I'm missing out
She knew she was getting new arms, but she looked so happy for the custom Alita arms, and hamming it up with Rosa at the red carpet.
based as fuck
almost certainly not
Why not? Otherwise it feels like such a waste to do it for one time use only
The main issue with this would be work permits for all the actors. Also flying all the sets around the world would be a major cost - if they do it by sea they won't have time to assemble a cast again.
they have a script? aren't they just larping?
Source for the drawing in the post. It's the moon flashback while she's disarming Grewishka the first time.
Fuck other people, they can buy their own chocolate, I want a huge thick bar I can take a bite out of once or twice a day for a week.
A little bit of both. They have character outlines and game directions they must follow but how they chose to interact is up to them.
So does anyone know how many anons made it to the experience?
openbionics.com
>There’s this thing on the Wii called Just Dance where you have to hold the Wii remote and dance with it in your hand. Which is obviously proven to be a challenge for me! What I used to do is tape the Wii remote to my arm, which would really hurt when taking it off, but at least it worked! However now I can just stick my hands on, pick the Wii remote up and start dancing!
Holy shit, the things we take for granted. The things we bitch about. And all this little girl wants is to play Wii and make a peace sign. So fucking wholesome I can't take it!
Toblerone got you covered lad
4 and a half. I only made it there at the very end but didn't get a change to do the thingy with them.
>Inclusions
Nah, fuck them too.
No. I want to eat that chocolate even more now, thanks to you discribing it like that.
wut?
good that you managed to catch them though! say that hello and all
Because it costs money to run something like that, they're aren't self sufficient, and the movie is nearly out of theaters.
If this was like a billion dollar international phenomenon, then maybe.
Sounds like you're actually just going after that treasured elementary school artifact, the "indirect kiss."
I sure love me some Toblerone.
I do too, it gives me fond memories of my trip to Switzerland as a kid.
Yeah. One user came all the way from Washington state just for this. That was pure dedication. For the sequel though it wont be a last minute thing and we'll fly the god damn aussies here.
Where exactly did this thing happen? LA?
Autism
No, I'm going for Alitas sweet and juicy salvia. Thats what I'm doing.
>sage in the name field
nice
Yup. They picked the trashiest part of LA to host the event but inside was pretty comfy. I was surprised at how good the sets looked. Kansas feels like a real bar.
You seem like you really know what you want. I like that in a man.
If they couldn't even duplicate the feel of a real bar I have a feeling the movie would have actually flopped.
I want this in HQ AAAAAAAAAAH
It's surprisingly easy, just get a gf
You and me both, brother
i'm proud of you anons
like the rice puffs in a cruch bar? so you're saying you don't like the almond and nougat shards in the toblerone?
Six total, actually.
Oh, well shit. I think the inclusions are like the best part. But, I mean, if you want to go to war over it, here I am.
someone post the chocolate teir chart
>getting a gf like Alita is "surprisingly easy"
>nougat shards in the toblerone
Personally no, I hate them, they are too small like sharpnel that stick between my teeth
Toblerone is overrated desu
I don't think Toblerone is even on that
>he doesn't like eating shrapnel
get a load of this guy
Actually it is if you have even the minimum amount of confidence
Ahh I see, you're just casual chocolate eaters and not true aficionados. What a pity.
But in all seriousness inclusions generally limit what you can do with a bar and I tend to avoid them when I buy chocolate.
Alita wouldn't be as popular as she is if she was considered a common commodity in the current western dating market.
So no, getting a gf *like Alita* is not easy. I've had several gfs in my life and all of them were fucked up somehow, either fat or mentally ill or both. At this point I've practically given up on dating altogether.
Depends on the kind of person that you are- much of the romantic success you have in the long run comes down to your own actions
Line is much better for that and doesn't have the stigma of discord.
they say you attract people like you
Guys, talk me out of pulling the trigger
They're wrong then, at least in my case.
I mean all you have to do is woo Rosa Salazar, fly her to New Zealand and bring her to the Weta Workshop, have her put on the mocap suit and get into character, film her playing Alita as your girlfriend, have the guys at Weta real time render Alita and output it to your VR HMD. Simple as that.
has stuff like this happened for any other movie in recent memory?
DO IT FAGGOT
Oh, you mean buying something, yeah sure, go ahead
what would Alita want
buy it and post pics
Find an activity that fit and sane people do, and make that your dating venue desu
outside of mlp? no
Do it, faggot
>would take weeks to consume
is that a fucking challenge
>don't attract anyone
>this makes me unique
I'm not sure how to feel
The Rocky Horror Picture Show, maybe
are you sure?
the point is you can find better if you work on yourself
Yeah them's fightin' words
It's not unique, it's how I am too
I have an activity like that already, except it isn't viewed as "sane" by the mainstream. I don't want a mainstream girl though.
then you go find your crazy girl and live happily ever after
>It's not unique, it's how I am too
Well I'm not gay so it doesn't help me at all
The search continues, with no end in sight...
Can you guys imagine how much work it is going to be re-creating every single meme and subbed snap once 4k comes out
I must have hundreds upon hundreds of images already
>I have an activity like that already
Please share it
Pretty late, but
Photographic proof of the meetup!
Yeah but it'll be worth it. Let's crash Yea Forums with the sheer bandwidth requirement of our memes!
>putting effort into memes
Reddit is that way
we do it for her
Sick. We're gonna need a lot more Alitas for next time.
That's a lot of Alitas
Or you could just have her undergo plastic surgery since Alita's face is modeled after hers but made to look more anime like.
My man, that's a nice hobby
Nice charging handle
One of you should post the picture with the exposed face of voiceanon
This will teach her being a namefag when it adds nothing to the conversation
And/or agent Ks, definitely!
Is there ever truly enough?
Did the guy on the right time travel from 90s?
you seem mad friend are you sure you're in the right thread?
Why did this picture got deleted?
What the fuck is this crap???
>Replied to voiceanon
I'm not gonna dox myself, Jerome
Probably. He was super nice, though!
We're not dicks so no
What is this chad meet up? Where are the dirty, unwashed neckbeards?
what
>defending namefags
I can look past the gay fanfiction but namefagging unless it's absolutely essential, eg insider information, script leak, is never ok
Why specifically her, and not any of the others?
It does help, IMO, because it helps me pick out posts with OC related to different people if I want to find it.
Thanks. Raptor, best in the biz (imo.)
>Is there ever truly enough?
You be the judge.
>b-but Alita fans are all neckbeard virgins
>have sex
looks like jerome was wrong again
your consistent dubs are impressive but your understanding of a community is lacking. or were you one of those people who hated scooby and zyzz on fit back in the good old days
>everyone who doesn't want namefags in Yea Forums is jerome
Drop the name, you and the other faggots, and stop ruining this place, or fuck off to tumblr
?????
>Why specifically her, and not any of the others?
They all should drop it
Here's a pic of the shirts we got.
Truly, Alita attracts only the Chaddest of the Chad.
The answer is no, of course.
YAOW!
Why does this make me so happy? It's a Yea Forums thing, I shouldn't like anything about it or anything about you guys.
I don't know how long this will last or how long will it take until something ruins the whole thing, but it's been great. Thank you.
It's not like this is pol meet up. There's no shame or crime in being exposed/doxxed as /alita/ poster.
I'm absolutely jelly of that shirt. I looks so much better than the ones you could buy.
This is what this place felt like before 2007. Enjoy it while it lasts.
All of Yea Forums is not the evil entity that the uninformed media makes it out out to be.
I've been here almost since the beginning and I'm just about as normie as they come.
because for the first time in ages someone actually cares here genuinely rather than just tearing things down
as long as there's content attached its fine. people should stop with random garbage attached to names tho
>or how long will it take until something ruins the whole thing
at least you know it's inevitable
Alita in the movie looks shitty. Why is she fucking CGI?
nah its way more likely that we just fade and then pop back up when news comes than one person ruins it
still doing this huh?
>as long as there's content attached its fine
It's not fine
We all generate content anonymously, it's the Yea Forums ethos
But namefags subvert this tradition and fag up their place with this faggotry and create a fag mob of following fags that spread faggotry like gay aids
You must be one of those haters Jimbo was talking about.
See you all in the morning, stay comfy.
Honestly, made me happy too. It was great seeing how /healed/ everyone was. Definitely worth it even if I paid the full 40$.
Yeah. I hella wanted a tee but the ones you could buy were pretty mediocre, so I couldn't be happier.
...
Goodnight fren.
Still doing what?
you haven't been in many general threads have you. its how generals themselves work
sleep well and i'm glad the meet went well
Yeah this guy would shit his pants if he wandered into /arg/
this pic makes Patrick Bateman wanna kill you the same way he killed Paul Allen
So, not at all because it was in his imagination since his lawyer show Paul Allen at the end of the film?
Fucking OUTSTANDING
late night OC gold you gotta repost this when the burger wake up
Favorite YT reviewer?
I'm pretty impressed by this SC Reviews guy lately.
/arg/ is hilarious
Good one because you had zero of the naive daughterfu Alita
Comfy posting is making me sick desu and it's the second worse scourge after namefags that is wrecking these threads
wasn't there also a nyc meeting?
Fucking gold. Goddamn I love this place.
>why are you mad at me user
Nice pic! is that a grill in the photo?
>HtTYD digital version is out
>Lego 2 digital version is out
where's my Alita digital version you HACKS
He’s turning into Angry Mike Zeroh, unfortunately. I like Shadiversity and Odin.
He's not TV related but RCR
Alita would've look better if she wasn't in CGI. She's fucking ugly in CGI.
that guy in the pic is a fucking loser
Unfortunately sometimes you have to channel some anger to do what you have to do.
Jimbo would not have achieved this greatness had he not said "Fuck the haters."
Love me some RCR. Browwwwwnnnnn
Well that's just kinda like, your opinion, man.
Yes but unfortunately she's a namefag
don't tell her but I don't hate her, I just hate she's a namefag, otherwise I would just ignore her because I'm not into fanfic faggotry, otherwise she seems clever and level headed which is commendable
Voiceanon's a girl.
remastering a petabyte of data isn't easy user
You make a fair point, Hunter-Warrior 112133337
>not a car
honestly man i respect that you're against namefags on principle. having said that and having been a part of othergenerals in the past too i think the ones we have here are usually on topic and decent posters.
I always though its a guy with a voice changer lol
namefagging tends to have the tackon effect of encouraging people not to be douches, like they might be otherwise if they are anonymous.
That's what I'm largely indifferent to it personally.
some people have deep voices user
>t. elizabeth holmes
>watching youtube reviewers or any reviewer
Don't do this
Personally I'm only looking forward to the Rob Ager analysis because he is patrician and he knows that br2049 is shit
I expect him to like Alita because he knows good art
Another good film analyst is David Stewart
the way i figure it as long as they keep the general on topic and dont make it about themselves they can stay
new bread when
>it was actually a fake deep voice the entire time
>elizabeth holmes
It's not her real voice, it's a trick she pulled off to hypnotize people
>Jimbo: hATER! pLs DOnt diSs MY MOVI beCuz i'M GoNa cRy xd
absolutely monstrous dubs of truth
new bread in the oven
Wow yeah that was pretty good I guess, huh
new
new
I wanna fuck Alita if she wasn't CGI. Wait, is she underaged? Oh fuck, I'm becoming Jared Fogle. FBI, don't hunt me. Alita's just fictional.
