/ALITA/
Prove you are a dedicated Alita fan. Post a pic of your Alita shrine.
Please bless this thread in Holy GETs, free /healings/, and free /repairs/.
I don't really do physical possessions but I've made a lot of stuff for ourgirl
>Free repairs ONLY if you don't lewd Alita
Hanging out at a dance club you a see a woman staring at your crotch making this face. What do?
My room is a pig pen and I own no Alita merch.
Hello new bread. Please be healed by Arita. That's it. No fighting.
Hello new bread, please be healed by Arita!
>CO user meetup
Hey we've basically been talking about Alita and what OC we'll make next for like 4 hours.
We're going to build a better deckman target to shoot at and try to recreate some scenes from the manga.
Alita's ass is gonna need some free repairs when I get done with her old man.
not pictured: 4 missing ticket stubs, Vol 1, Ido's Journal, CineFX mag, all the random tidbits in the journal, Motorball Pin/stickers from Drawfren and eventually the $250 1/6 scale fig.
All I own is a shirt and a can of arizon. I don't do shrines...
>No dad, it's ok, I got this one. I'll make sure you stay dead this time
Cute
>targets to shoot at
We're going to build some targets to shoot at, maybe recreate the story where she's working for the Factory and has to hunt down the rogue deckman who walks all the way to the ocean and she shoots him with her massive sniper rifle.
He's going to make the deckman and I'll make his weird legs and we'll shoot the fuck out of it.
Has /ALITA/ ever reached a consensus on which kinos are officially comfy and thematically similar to Alita? I've seen one picture I forgot to save but I didn't really agree on the list proposed besides BR2049.
>driving from CO to LA
I'd be down for that because I don't have a whole lot going on but the other user would need to get work off. What day is the meet?
I like the sound of this.
>officially comfy and thematically similar to Alita?
>JinRoh
woo boy those are about as different as it gets
I think the anime Metropolis is the closest but Blade Runner 2049 has a lot of parallels with Alita
Here you go, fren.
I'd pounce on her like a jungle cat
BR1+2, Fifth Element, Soldier AND Robocop would be so comfy I'd fall into a coma
Does anyone have more pages from this? We want to recreate the deckman she shoots so I need some better references
Don't forget the (2001) anime Metropolis
Seriously, watch it.

Ah you're still around friend good to see you. I remember your compelling arguments about including M in the collation pic

Thanks fren
We're almost halfway there what the hell
One more for you.
Lol I copied the post number while I was hanging out with the other user and then forgot what was in the actual post.
Saturday the 25th sounds good to me but I think he might have to figure some things out with his roommate, we're both totally down to go though.
nearly to 500. We'll hit it by what, Friday?
>this image
It's considered a flop? No sequel?
Not exactly the best comparison, Jin-Roh is bleak and slow-paced and not really anything like Alita. If we're really pushing it, I guess I could draw a parallel between two protagonists who struggle to belong in the 'human' world due to their nature.
Yes, thank you. Again I'm not really sure about that list, but I haven't watched everything on it so I may have to give some a try.
>two protagonists who struggle to belong in the 'human' world due to their nature.
true, that does fit. Alita self-actualizes and Fuse represses it.
Halfway to where? Theses threads will never hit #999 if that's what you had in mind. How silly.
GO TO HELL
what's the matter user
who hurt you
do you remember the volume?
It's from Holy Night and Other Stories and the story is called Homecoming.
Not a big deal but I just figured someone probably had scans of it.
How are you doing today anons?
Is this from the thots making fun of /ourgirl/ when the first trailer dropped
I think so
good, just settling in. Upper body is tingly and taut right now because I followed /fit/user's lift4alita regimin a bit harder than I have lately. Feels güd though.
Doing well just had fun hanging out with the other CO user, shooting Nerf for a while and talking about Alita nonstop
>Nova?
As appropriate as ever
fresh content
That's some cool fucking fanart user
Enjoying the waning hours of slow rules Tuesday. Not entirely sure where the hell my latest story is going, but I'm having fun with it. So, par for the course, really.
Preview please?
I should start lifing4alita but I'm a bit out of shape so I'd need to do the beginners version probably
ALITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
here you go imgur.com
Lol that's awesome
How ya doing guys?
yep, had a pretty busy of digging up twenty graves and defiling every corpse with my sausage.
Kek quality work user
If so fren we are deciding that either Huntington or Laguna beach would be the place to go for the meet up.
One you start and get the routine down you'll never look back
Yesss thanks a bunch this is perfect
The deckmen are so fucking weird man
don't mention it user. glad i could help.
I'm sure he could devise something but I don't really consider the plan he made 'super' intensive. It's mostly about toning; it's not about getting bigger or anything and a lot of the exercises are more about movement than amount of weight used. Pic is the workout he devised. Kinda want to make a catchy pic though because its just a rtf file that I screenshotted. Doing the barbell twists and rear cable pulls for some reason murder me but I also like them more than anything else.
Thanks I've been a little obsessive about collecting fan art but now I find new stuff quicker than I can post it.
Is alita actually an enjoyable film/manga or is it mostly for the memes? I ask as someone who is pretty fucking snobbish about my movies but have a undying love for sci-fi?
Have a QT in return
MODS!!!!
He isnt underaged and I see way worse posted on /got/
I really appreciate it user
Do you like genuine movies with well crafted CGI and complexity protagonists? Which just so happen to be groundbreaking in the way they're made? I reckon you'll like the film user. You should check it out.
Huntington Beach would be way cheaper than Laguna Beach, no?
we would never have made it this far if it was only about silly memes. Alita is the bedrock of all of this. Yes it's good, yes you missed your chance to see it on the big screen.
Yes it's fucking amazing.
I say this every time someone asks but it's unironically one of my top five favorite movies now, it has been like three months and I still can't get over how incredible and perfect it is.
cute chokers aren't for males, pls delet
I assume nobody has an issue with me posting fan art while it's this slow
Thx for killing the image without the ban mods, guess im not used to posting on blueboards.
Will watch it tonight lads, thanks for the genuine answers
There's a pretty good rip that an user put together from like three different sources, better than the other cam rip that is full of ads and shit
You're not wrong Peaches
nope, fire away fren.
Please do it keeps my work day cute healed.
I saw Alita 15 times in theaters and I still feel like I took it for granted at the time. It might sound silly, but I really miss my weekly routine. Sometimes I even went twice a week
I'm not Peaches but I am another namefag
None of it feels terribly suited to a snippet, so only because you asked nicely.
The sound of bracing metal accompanied Arbalest's descent into the assemblage as her pit crew began the process of cybercore transfer. Lithe manipulators snapped into place at all the critical points, removing structural support plugs and loosening ceramic paneling up and down the armature. It was a painful procedure going both ways, but the added sense of vulnerability engendered by the loss of the pistongun ran Arbalest's blood cold. She dreamed of the day she could afford a street body capable of wielding it. A sharp crack like the breaking of bone accompanied the final disassembly of the Motorball body, wet steam and agony sheathing the retracted cybercore as a control arm lifted it above the assemblage, awaiting transfer.
Did somebody say cute?
As weird as it sounds, I feel like Alita has been with us for years, and it hasn't even been a full 3 months yet. Alita did to other movies what the Witcher 3 did to other games for me. It makes everything else seem lackluster in comparison
I think the only movies to have this profound affect on me in the last 10ish years have been:
>There Will Be Blood
>BR2049
>Alita.
And every day, every time I think about it, Alita inches her way closer and closer to overtaking TWBB as my all time favorite.
B A S E D
I like it a lot but I'd vary your sentence length, it's all good but it's kind of dense
I saw it 16 so I know exactly what you mean fren. I wish my last time wasn't so underwhelming. After like my 8th time I started enjoying being in a big audience and gauging reactions. Autistic yeah but whatever.
*effect I never make this mistake so this is super embarrassing >_>
God I fucking love Motorball stories.
Yeah my bad call I think he's posted something similar before
Motorball is so fucking cool
>floplita is an absolute abomination of an adaptation
>performs appallingly at the box office
>trust me guys, there will be a sequel!
Well, I'm convinced
if we're in for a long wait before FA, I could stomach it a bit easier with a kick ass game to tide us over.
>still no Alita/Koyomi edit with this
No worries it's not the first time someone has called me Peaches I'm Archanon
I probably post as much as he does but I don't namefag very often so I don't think anybody knows my posting style yet
I'm working on some analysis of how motorball strategy/body construction should work given the rules we're shown and the nature of the games we see. Should be good to post in a couple hours after work.
One day, user!
I've gotta hit the hay now but you better believe I'm looking forward to this.
That's cool, I'm a big Battlebots fan so I have a pretty good idea about what kinds of weapons and armor would work the best.
- no flamethrowers
- if you're using chainsaw or rotary saw you need some way of grabbing your opponent (like Stinger had)
- heavy maces or axes can knock people off balance but it's harder to stay balanced yourself
- any kind of stabbing weapon is likely useless
Oh most definitely yeah. But we are still deciding which of the two beaches tho. I personally think Huntington would be best.
More ideas:
- a design that is simple and easy to fix is always better than a complicated one
- joints are the most vulnerable spot
- knocking your opponent over would be extremely effective
- two legs good four legs bad
Flamethrowers could be a good intimidation/zoning tactic given the regular human response to fire is to instinctively withdraw. (See Hugo's constant firebombs)
Why the 2 vs 4 let point please expand on this
night night user see you later
*Legs
Getting pretty tired. Goodnight Alita and goodnight anons.
.
.
.

and goodnight mommy
Sleep well user. It might be pretty autistic but I'm definitely keen for some discussion on it now that we have some actual rules to go off.
The thing about flamethrowers is you have to hold the flame on one spot for a while in order for it to do any damage, especially since everyone is made out of metal. Hugo was using napalm or something which is sticky so that would be better than just something that just shoots fire out.
Four legs would be awkward to coordinate and don't necessarily provide more stability than just crouching down like a speed skater. An extra arm to hold the motorball would be great but I'm looking at the art book and some of the wheel designs just seem too complicated to be effective.
Night fren stay comfy
Can you post some of the designs
Sure thing, any particular motorballer you want to see first? This is just a random one.
Fuck James Cameron
I mean he's not wrong. It's a personal choice but it would theoretically help
Can I say all of them or is that too much to ask?
livestock for the meat industry take up a lot of space and pave over natural habitats. I could pretty easily cut out beef and pork. Chicken would suck but I could let that go too. Fishies would be a struggle though.
I have just accepted that I have to accept tge good with the bad when it comes to people like bigshot directors. Him not making Alita 2 would effect me far more than him espousing eco-hippie ideals that I can choose to ignore.
Well there's 26 pages of motorballers, but some of it is just their civilian bodies and some of the pages aren't worth taking pics of, but I'll get most of them as long as nobody whines and calls it spam.
He can pry my steaks and tacos from my cold dead hands.
He's not wrong when it comes to cattle, fishing is not an issue except for endangering other species. I think once lab grown meat is cheap enough it'll have a huge effect.
Thank you for your work user
it's Alita related and pics many of us probably haven't seen, you're good.
requesting that jobber called Jashugan
lab grown meat will be very interesting and sounds wholly unnatural and like made science but if it's safe I'll eat it.
mad*
There's a reason why this stupid movie was rejected by the public and Captain Marvel was a huge hit
Captain Marvel was good, unlike this waifu shit
I'm definitely down for lab grown meat since it's a step towards artificial skin and therefore realistic robot waifus
There is a reason, several actually, but it's not what you claim.
56% vs 94%
didn't even consider that but I'd honestly rather have a cybernetic body like Zapan.
Reducing meat consumption is actually the only realistic way a private citizen can meaningfully reduce their carbon footprint.
bros I'm a little jealous, ngl, that there's STILL bump limit, image limit hitting, back to back CM thread on the daily. I heard they're gonna hit #1000 threads any day now
He's not wrong, but I'm just addicted to meat and chicken, so it's hard to quit it.
Because incels
>99
Blessed comfy night
Do you want me to get all the text or do you just want to see the pictures
Yeah the dedicated fanbase puts us to shame since we never discuss the movie or make anything productive here
tried making one of these but the compression is really bad
The text is a nice bonus but if you can't get both then the pictures are good. Also the phrase Motorball Paladin is amazing and I wish we'd seen it in-movie
>only 148 replies
>already on page 4
Glad these stupid threads are finally losing steam
they're just too powerful us! And the Endgame threads are pushing us out too! We better just pack our bags, we had a good run...
Still looks good and comfy and melancholy to me user, nice work.
Hahahaha... but for real, what's up with that lower body?
Oh shit NOW I recognize him from the Kansas fight. I feel dumb.
>Claymore
>uses a one-handed axe
seriously the best scene of her face, even more than the end
If I get a vote just for planning to attend, I vote for Huntington Beach
Mirin them hammies
I love her
Shame we didn't get to see her she was super cool in the manga
All she needs is a hug
People have been saying this since #100 and yet we're still here
Why is Alita looking at me like I'm pathetic so hot?
really dig the morning star styled pauldron
Idk he seems pretty normal compared to a lot of the other paladins
Looks like Nikolaj Coster-Waldau with graying black hair. But they ended up using the guy for Claymore they were originally going to use for Jashugan, and Jashugan ended up with Jai Courtney...
She's in it super briefly, I think when Alita's watching it on the screen the first time
Why the fuck is leon in that pic? What retard added leon ?
Elysium. Ex machina. Rollerball.
Oh really? I'll have to keep an eye out for her
desert bloodlust alita is best alita. if we get anything close in the 3rd movie i will be supremely happy.
once I get them all posted I'll make a list of what order the pages go in
gonna take a break for a sec
Are these all from the art book?
Claymore is so rad, the tank treads are not practical at all but I love his design
Yes these are from the art book
Well worth buying if you're into concept art
It's amazing that these are still going. I just got too exhausted and had lots of things to do to post here every day like I did weeks ago. I'll be back for the high quality memes when the Blu-ray comes out though. Keep the good work you autists.
>Alita
but why
Everyone's got a moral panic to sell
Yes, Juggernaut I think takes a swipe at her but she spins under his arm
Do you have the motorballer with the twin bladed arms and hot rod body? I think his color was blue, purple, or indigo. In the movie he spins out when he crashes into a barrier on the track
we'll be here waiting for you
Oh, there he is Zariki
We're doing the best we can
99/10
my man Mace looking like Perturabo.
Come back whenever you want to comfy vibes. We'll be waiting for you!
The meat industry is garbage. Cows are feed corn and the meat is not healthy. Chickens are pumped full of unhealthy hormones. These animals live in filth and shit all day long.
I eat meat, i love meat, but the meat business is really shit. American meat is diseased and full of antibiotics and hormones
based and meatpilled
It's so hard to eat organic, natural, healthy, and cheap in the US, it's not even funny
You can try to import meat from another country or try to buy grass fed organic meat
I fucking love juggernauts design even though I think it's mechanically weak RE my points coming for how you should build motorball bodies
Yeah it's a very unwieldy design
seven more pics to go
Kinuba's blade-helm makes no sense but I still love it
Last two
After this I'll take a break and then I'll post Alita's motorball stuff which I forgot about
Oh we get a name for this guy too
Thanks for the pictures, fren. Good night
Huh screwhead is more mechanical than I thought she was
The motorball robots were the only part when the cgi looked cheap. Specially the first time alita sees it with hugo.
Im not a hater of the movie but motorball looked like spy kids 3.
I kinda dig this extra spooky Screwhead.
Those cyborgs are beyond inhuman. Why do they insist on keeping their human face?
Because it's hard to give up on the vestige of humanity
>motorball concept art
The order the first pages go in the book:
- motorball-1
- paladin1
- motorball-3
- motorball-4
- motorball-5
- paladins2
Then the rest are the individual motorballers
I actually thought especially the flashy first ones were incredible but fair enough friend
Next I think I'll do the pages for the motorball stadium
could be a variety of reasons. Maybe it's 'eDgY' but if I lived in this setting and had no close connections I think it'd take very little pushing to get me into full on machine faced.
I like how they used self drilling screws on her tattoo design.
Based art dump user your work is appreciated
I think it might make you kind of undesirable though in a social aberration way. It seems like it's the last thing a lot of people modify
In the manga it's actually kind of rare for cyborgs to have their original faces
well like I said, if I was some loner-HW anyway, then why not? It just adds the extra intimidation factor too in a Boba Fett sort of way. Obviously if I had an SO/family/whatever I'd probably leave the majority of my face alone and my benis but I'm ripping out my teeth and eyes for stronger steel.
Thanks user, it's what I do
I don't make OC (yet) but I try to spread content around as much as possible and make it accessible
Maybe they keep their faces so they can make extra money off of celebrity endorsement contracts. Kinda hard to do PR stunts with a mechanical face with no expressions.
Zekka (on the right) has compound eyes that have a much wider field of vision
Yeah that's a good point. I guess the counterpoint is someone like Zapan who is clearly mocked for how intricately he delineates between the organics of his face and there rest of his fully cyborg body
what do you fags even talk about? generals for tv shows with 100 hours of content get banned a few weeks into their off-season because discussion gets stale and repetitive, how does a single movie require continuous generals months after airing?
same thing with those reylo faggots last year
A lot of the mechanical faces have expression, Alita's face is all artificial after all.
I think a really unique mechanical face would be a lot more iconic than just another human face.
Go see the movie user
In the last couple hours we've been talking about motorball and now we're on to artificial faces
I wonder how the finer parts of human and cyborg anatomy blend- like it's all well and good for the red turns through Alita to be blood but what does that then imply that she has other parts of the biological system too? Does she have a lymphatic system? Where do her hormones come from?
Finally I get holy digits
The generals only get banned if they break the rules like reylo did. Most of the generals stop existing because there's not a large enough poster base to keep them bumped. We have a goal and a lot of uncertainty and an entire manga to speculate on so there's plenty of content.
Zapan is probably the most (in)famous HW so it makes sense he'd invest in a unique body and well cared for face.
>tv shows with 100 hours of content get banned a few weeks into their off-season
that sounds like a personal problem
That list was more about "essential cyberpunk" than movies thematically similar to Alita. I know I save that one, but my Alita folder is a bit of a mess, so I'll have to look for it.
This is where most sci-fi movies start to break down. We depend so much on other organs (example: our digestive system has 300M neurons, as many as a cat) that we would feel and act differently if some of them were missing.
This is one thing I liked about the design of General Grievous, he still had all of his major organs.
got you
it’s one edgy helmet
carlos.jpeg
I'm really more pissed about mod inconsistency, /reylo/ wasn't actually banned, it was just shitposted to death
/got/, /who/, /tpg/, etc. do get banned, and not because they break the rules (at least, that's not what the copy-pasted mod post says)
Who could afford celebrity endorsements though? While The Factory makes all the things for Zalem, you still have local businesses catering to Iron City residents - but they seem more like hole-in-the-wall market stalls. The Kansas doesn't need to do any endorsements, because that's where the hunter-warriors hang out anyway.
Minority report is a fucking phenomenal film
I mean people still buy Ronaldo shirts in Brazillian slums user. Money is all relative to cost of goods and services
/GoT/ has been around for as long as I remember but I genuinely think part of why the jannies let us stay is that they know we have an end goal in sight. Once we hit 999 this place almost certainly wraps up. Furthermore we also never bleed accross threads and we tend to be an unusually welcoming and postive bunch of people which it makes sense for the jannies to support to help improve the board culture. Also you should go see the movie and tell us what you think. We're always interested to hear it.
Thanks for that. Saved.
The brushwork here is pretty
eyes gettin' heavy, night anons and thanks to the user dumping all the Motorball artwork. I might pick that book up next paycheck.
I didn't love it the first time I saw it but every time I rewatch it I'm impressed at how great it is
The mods clean these threads from trolls constantly.
The mods care about these generals
let's be honest if sequel news is hinted at before #999, we're trucking onwards.
Night night user
I think we can make it until the bluray drops and then we'll have two hours of special features to talk about plus remaking all the memes in HD, then that'll take us until sequel announcement
That’s a good point. In the movie though, most of the motorball merch looks like home made slapdash shit, except for maybe Gerhad’s Kinuba shirt - and maybe one Jashugan shirt in the audience.
Only Alita i prefer
Sleep well fren
Tetsuo is such a piece of shit
>Alita Rosé
Nice
Yeah I would assume that like in slums making your own banner and such is much more likely. I do think that there is a psuedo-consumer class/petit-bourgeoisie leftyfrens where you at who could buy officially licensed merchandise. Don't forget that the people selling knockoffs need a design to base their shit off too.
Sorry that jannies love us more than you.
That movie is so bizarre, it's more of a body horror movie than a cyberpunk movie
Lol just realized she's holding a bottle of whiskey or something and not a wine bottle
We're well-behaved and welcoming which goes a long fucking way.
Do Zalemites apart from Nova watch motorball? Because if they do I bet a lot of them would be full kit wankers.
so wasted she doesn't even notice
Comparing us to those other threads is almost insulting actually
One of my life goals is to get drunk with Rosa
To be fair, and I've never seen one episode of the fucking show, and I wish they had one self-contained thread like we do instead of dozens of fractured ones. /got/ has produced some hilarious top-kek tier memes
I was really into it for the first 4 or 5 seasons and then I started to get tired of it and I stopped watching after the first episode of season 7. It's better as a source of memes now.
You exactly described my relationship with The Walking Dead
>tfw when you can't wait to build a cyborg costume
Lol forgot the clip
had a weird dream about her this morning now that i remember. it's weird since i rarely have vivid dreams
i just keep watching walking dead because i watched it when it premiered and i'm in too deep now to quit already. same with the office, i just had to see it end.
and to see the hot nerd girls dress like Alita
How intricate are you going user?
>The Office
Everyone should only watch until Michael leaves and the final episode. Literally nothing else.
At least one full cyborg arm and maybe legs, depends on what materials I can find
out of morbid curiosity and something else i can't describe, i had to watch it to the end, even if it meant watching shitty episodes that i'd never revisit. also the show got real bad even before michael leaves. seasons 1-3 or 4 are the only ones worth watching, and of course all of the UK office
>0101
I disagree. First 5 seasons were SOLID. 6-7 were very good. the rest was shit
Nice
I cant watch the office because of all the shaky camera they so. I tried but it made me sea sick
Are there any shows that got better over time? I'm sure there's a few

Boy Meets World
there was those inflatable(?) light up Damascus swords at the end of the movie. Those had to have been sold at the stadium. Wish they fucking had them to sell irl.
10,000 credits to the user who finds any videos of her at this Comic-Con or wherever
I love shit like that because it's straight out of the movie, like they should be selling mushroom stuffies and inflatable Damascus swords and shirts of the different motorballers
I call bread unless someone really wants to do it
All yours friend
Yeah I would buy one in a second if I could
maybe some fan art to finish up the thread
I love that /alita/ seems to have become a somewhat permanent feature of this board.
Please never leave
