Such a cute couple!
This thread is blessed with /comfy/ vibes.
Genuine questions: Why is there a general for this? I haven't seen it, but is there really enough content for 500 of these threads? Or is it just waifu stuff?
really digging your OC user, keep it up!
Bless this thread with Holy GETs, /comfy/ vibes, free /healings/, and /free /repairs/.
No time to read the posts?
The filter accross this is rad
Well the movie is actually really good but there's also 30 years of manga to talk about and all kinds of things related to them and the genre in general
See
>99
Thanks, also, BLESSED
Thanks
Good idea.
>is there really enough content for 500 of these threads?
It's based on a manga series that has run since 1990 and is still going on. Hell yes there's enough content.
>is there really enough content for 500
with the movie, the OVA and the manga there's fuel to power us well until we get our sequels.
I'm excited, it's gonna be so fun
HI FRIENDS
thank you blessing-user.
[[SCREAMING VERY LOUDLY EDITION]]
So it's more of a celebration of all things alita and not just the film, and the fact that a decent adaptation was made? Interesting.
MAZAPAN a bitch, tho
*MORE LOUD SCREAMING*
500 threads worth of posts? Not really. Most posting in all generals is usually just circle jerking anyways.
I'm an outsider to this entire franchise, so just reading people lust over this bug eyed girl isn't really telling me what's so fantastic about it.
You guys really do sound like a family, so comfy... even a meetup oh wow! I want to keep hanging out but I have nothing content-related to talk about until the BD comes out haha.
Aaaaa I can't wait
[raspberries in cyborg]
hi fren glad you could join us
Hey baby
there's been multiple meetups. The LA anons will make this month #3. Colorado anons will hopefully be making the trek down to LA this time too. They had their own meetup recently.
Well there's also the fact that it's honestly a really good action film with a decent drama subplot.
> 12 days ‘til beach meet
I may have to check it out then.
also forgot to mention... there is a decent rip. Anons have cut and glued together multiple sources with good quality/minimal watermarking.
Fourth, actually.

>Rewatch
>Guns
Action scenes as good as the matrix.
Incredible cgi. Very realistic cyborgs
Incredible sets and world building
Great intricate plot
Great actors
And yes Alita is amazing and beautiful and incredible to watch
We really don't do any of that stuff here. And if we do, we do it as a joke.
Seriously, Alita: Battle Angel is a great movie. Amazing cast, great acting by lead Rosa Salazar, top-of-the-line CGI, some of the greatest action scenes and fight choreography in movie history, lots of great lines of dialogue, vast world-building, cool cyberpunk feel, it's really terrific all around. You should check it out.
Yo, user who’s going to see Alita tomorrow in LA, you here?
I would advise you to. James Cameron spent two fucking decades planning this film. Just about everything in it is perfect.
That's me! What's up?
>Very realistic cyborgs
blew my mind that Zapan was entirely CGI minus his face. I thought his torso was just a really good looking chest-piece.
JC made his waifu real and shared it with us. He's based beyond comprehension
It's everything Alita: Battle Angel related, IE the original manga, the OVA (54-minute anime film), the new live-action movie that came out, box office news, sequel status, actors relating to the movie, Jim Cameron or Robert Rodriguez's experience making the film, comparing this film to similar films and Alita to similar sci fi action heroes, etc. Anything and everything relating to the aura or history of the movie and the movie itself, of course.
>tfw no Canada meetup
Whaaaaaaaat? Gimme!
woof I'm dumb and can't count
You’re still coming right fren? Me and another user will meet you outside the theater like at 6
I kept looking at his neck in the bar scene because you could see through the neck and you could see the light at the back of the bar
The fact that he so arrogantly exposes his vitals is such good subtle characterisation
...We might be confused.
I'm VA
Are you the one I hit up after making plans with user on here, or are you the user I made plans with on here?
it's autistic but I noticed his extremely hard to see reflection in the bar's mirrors as he's creeping up to Alita. WETA didn't miss a thing.
THAT'S ZAPAN!??! He looks nothing like he does in the manga. I hate it. Looks like robo Jude Law. Please tell me he at least loses his face multiple times...
I'm sure somebody has the mega link to it.
YES AND HE WAS MAD
okay
Well, I gotta super sleep but I'll be lurking around then, either that or looking though archived threads.
Thanks again, all of you are so kind and wonderful.
>Toronto meetup never
Oh he loses face, both figuratively and literally.
You should watch the movie, user.
Things we talk about:
- the movie itself and its qualities
- things from the world in the movie
- various characters but especially Alita
- how the movie was made, behind the scenes stuff
- art design and concept art
- differences between movie, anime and manga
- actors from the movie, especially Rosa Salazar who played Alita
- fan art, fan fiction, roleplaying
- the actual writing of the movie
- details and Easter eggs
- various topics from the manga
- Cameron and Rodriguez and their movies
- cyberpunk, sci-fi genre
- other movies based on anime or other adaptations
- various anime and manga
- ideas for future movies
- special effects technology
- speculation on bluray and sequels
- the badly handled marketing
- various memes that spawn
- fighting trolls and welcoming newcomers
That's not even getting into specific sub-topics
good night user. Come back soon.
it's not in theaters anymore. I kinda missed my chance. Can't find any good rips either. Waiting for the bluray.
Someone link this poor soul the good camrip. I feel bad.
I love how shen she slams his head into the table instead of putting her hand behind his head like you would normally she just grabs his fucking trachea
night user
The one you hit up after lol
thanks!
rip
I'm sure other user'll be there, and if not it'll be fine too
Keean Johnson is extremely handsome.
he's a good lad
Lmao that’s funny if the user that made the plans no shows
Regardless, it’ll be fun.
Based Keean Johnson is extremely handsome poster
It would be funny if it was just VA samefagging
I keep imagining Rosa doing all these faces and it makes me laugh
The moon is out and it's time to present some neck
Well yesterday we found out peaches is peaches and Jerome so it would be pretty funny
I don't know what to do with this so now's as good of a time as any to post it
Qrd? Damn I had a feeling I missed something yesterday!
Can tell you right now it's not
whoever it is, though, they are extremely based
He's not THE Jerome. THE Jerome is one of three major trolls we've had throughout /ABAG/ + /ALITA/ history. Any troll who's especially shitposty in an /ALITA/ thread is dubbed a "Jerome". Peaches was caught being a Jerome, but even the best of us have LARP'd as Jerome, because it's too much darn fun.
>peek a boo
based merciful Vampalita approximation
There’s two confirmed girls that post here and I know of two others who are lurkers
Idk how many of /ALITA/ bros are gay but I can confirm the KJ poster is a different user, or at least re-posters of that same meme
>WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU MEAN YOU FOUND A NEW WAIFU YOU DUNCOFF
Peaches was asking for the size of tits or something
It was lewd
> even the best of us have LARP'd as Jerome
Speak for yourself, I just straight up troll when I feel like it. No need to larp but this place is mostly for comfy anyway, so I fuck around in other boards
>thats right, user is all mine and you lost him to an angel
Is this allowed?
I found a new waifu, but you can still come to the party whenever you want Asuka.
yeah I've never felt the compulsion to shitpost here (or anywhere really) but if others do it, it's not a huge deal. Even Peaches doing it isn't a big deal.
Yeah because spoiler tag and her berserkers are technically censored
Doll Alita is an A or B. I think Beserker is a C
Yeah there's a line between funny shitposts and destructive ones. It's easy to tell the difference
OH YEAH
Dunno if it’s going to be canon for the next film, but in Ido’s Journal it is stated he tuned Jashugan!
I wanna squeeze the tiddies
>you zip uo right now before someone sees you young lady
well he does in the manga so
To be fair peaches Jerome post wasn’t a troll
It was just a lewd titty post question so it doesn’t really count
>her berserkers are technically censored
I think he asked about chiren
>my hammer is in the dinning room Alita
>go get it for me well I talk with user
Is HILITAI a japaname show?

>Alita is turning 19
>is self conscious about being flatter than other girls
>she asks Ido to make her chest bigger for her birthday gift
>Ido panics
>Somehow thinks her user bf is behind it
>antics ensues
Pic related for lewd posters
Yeah but he doesn't tune him until after Alita runs away to do motorball and only because Jashugan needs him to fix his brain issues
>"got it, Ido."
>Peaches was caught being a Jerome
>Peaches doing it isn't a big deal
How can you say that? They betrayed us. They betrayed /ALITA/. They even may be the Jerome poster threatening to shoot up the meetup.
I just realized how awesome it is that we got to see Alita wield the hammer even though it's pretty weak compared to the manga version
Almost had me there, Jerome.
I’m 99% sure the namefags are also Jerome posters

Fucking lol that's actually a pretty good excuse for user to meet the hammer
going into theatrics like this is silly user. People flipped their shit when he asked writefag for lewd stories. I don't like lewding Alita but I don't get asspained when others do it. Peaches might've done a not so cool thing. Whatever. One bad act doesn't wash out the good.
>meetup full of lunatics with guns
>they all have the same waifu
Gee, what could go wrong
I would just like to note for the record that I don't do any of that shit
In the Journal seems they (Or at least Chiren) worked with him before
Thanks Todd! Every day we draw closer to kinuba digits
> a good portion of our namefags went to the lewd side
Actually last time it was fine
CO meetups have been fine too
Things have changed
I seriously can't believe you are defending what Peaches did. You are literally defending Jerome right now.
Absolutely nothing
Met up with a bunch of /ALITA/ chads
Surprisingly they have different waifus
It’s mostly just chilling, chatting, and maximum comfort. They’re great.
Peaches is on some thin fucking ice right now

>"Do you know what she could mean by that?"
you guys need to tone down with the drama. It's not that big a deal.
You're sounding like the Jerome, dividing us up, turning us against one of our greatest OC-posters. Asking for a lewd isn't even Jerome-tier. It's lewd-post tier, MAYBE. Pipe down.
It’s okay, some of our frens remain pure
He’s not defending Jeaches (kek), all he did was ask how big chirens titties were or something like that, on Mother’s Day, in a MOMMY edition thread. It was a total bro type of question
>And a week after
>Dad, I haven't seen user in days
>What happened?
>Where is he?
(You)
So what made James Cameron want to adapt such an obscure manga? Is he secretly a weeb or something? Did he just wanna do some cool cyberpunk thing?
Sounds like some harmless cheeky buggers to me... I wasn’t there so I can’t say for sure.
I’m just fucking around rn user
I don’t mind lewd
I just like to overreact post sometimes
Our namefags are based
(((You)))
think about it, it screams JC. Strong female lead? Sci-fi? Downfall of man/reconnecting to humanity?
Guillermo del Toro showed him the anime back in the '90s and then he read the manga. There's a lot of things that are great about the Alita series so it's kind of hard to summarize it.
See
Someone showed him the OVA back in the 90s and he was like "damn this needs to be made into a movie"
>who was user
>dont worry about that, and I said no about the silicone implants.
THREAD MAN ILLEGALLY OWNS GUNS DUE TO STATE LAW CHANGE
THE POLICE BELIEVE THREAD MAN TURNED IN ALL THREAD MAN'S GUNS
THREAD MAN DIDN'T
you're cool, fren. I also drama-posted when peaches caved on lewd-stories and it was pretty funny but I lost my taste for it.
>I know I could get my own body to grow them
>I just don't know how...
>If you won't help I'll go talk to Chiren about it

Same way we did. Love at first sight

I posted the Obi-Wan pic when he first lost it, just for the keks. I don't know if ANYONE is genuinely bothered by that, it's just too fun to mess around

Kek underrated crossover
lol we need more prequels crossovers.
D'awww, this post is too sweet.
We love you, based Boatman.
I still don't know where the dude voice is coming from in that scene, they all look like thicc OwO girlies
I can't wait until we get a clearer picture of the other berzerkers. Those helmets look fucking cool.

Damn, that's actually better. Imagine Alita's face when she sees that
Oh shit... fucking shit, I guess it was inevitable.
Nova is a master fo the high ground, would he and Obi-Wan get along?
Obi-Wan can't be a martian

So this is how the /alita/ dies
With thunderous star wars posts
It's the end
I don’t think they were berserkers. They sucked too much and alita was at the head of the second squad. So probably only what’s her name and alita were the only berks.
>Jashugan wins the First League by beating Grewishka
Hmmm
That's a rare Chiren there
> make one Star Wars reference once in a blue moon
> “it’s the end”
Fags
Here, have another crossover
I wonder what Grewishka looked like as a motorballer
It's also a reference to good star wars so I'm happy to let it pass
>remember the mission
>destroy mom's holes
>I know you like them

>He started referring to himself as “The Keeper of the Legendary Damascus Blade”
OH HO HO NO NO NO NO
Prequel memes are acceptable
New shit is shit
Original are nice but not very memeable
Only Obiwan is canon
>WHAT THE HELL IS THIS
WHY ARE YOU LIKE THIS
Everything ends when stars wars starts getting involved
Specially on Yea Forums
They must have changed the sword design really late into production
>destroy mom's holes
How amusing watching you bicker in these threads. It won't be long till you're sick of each other. That's when occasional sliding off page will happen.
Will there be an alita porn parody?
>All I wanted was to have a bigger chest for user
>now he is gone and mom is the only one who said she would help me
No
Thank god
>Alita porn parody
I don't really want to think about it
Is this it?
>i’d like a ticket to enter her chocolate factory alright.
Wait, what happened while I was gone? I legit haven't posted in these threads in like a week. Was someone impersonating me again?
Where is this from??
We know it was you boy
Lol I have no idea what this is from actually
Alright, I'm trying my hand at a story. I think this is gonna be a long one peeps, but I'm gonna try to finish it tonight. Just stay tuned, and don't touch those dials.
>tfw pornhub already has alita/venom porn....
No I'm being dead serious, I haven't touched these threads in like 3 days, I did a little update in thread 500 because I missed thread 499, which is why I didn't do a special .webm like I usually do. If someone was asking lewd stuff, not me at all.
Of course it does, porn moves at the speed of business, and while we're in here trying to keep things pure, the world moves on without us outside.
>not me at all
hhhhmmmmmmmmmmmm
Dropping a note to the Seattle user I met today, let me know if you're here.
I will say though, her floof is on point
Do you want me to go back and see there are not (You)'s from the last like 8 threads?
He said you were weird earlier
In a MOMMY edition thread, some guy asked about Chiren's tits using your nametag.
Literally all that happened.
>my favorite game
>better get comfy for this one
Alright, I see now, yeah none of this was me. So two people were impersonating. How interesting.
Chiren can be lewded
It is fair game to have her trick Alita into growing a nanotech double strap on and reaming her until Alita loses control and goes full dom
Thoughts on this shirt?
Oh god, what have I spawned.
If you reverse the order it can be her face when happens
I was impersonated too, though without any malicious intent, it seems like it was a mistake. In your case it was obvious trolling. But you asked writefag to go full lewd once so this was somewhat believable.
Remember? remember when you considering joining the dark side?
seriously, half the posts in this thread would have caused a shitstorm back then
Peak 80s hair here
>chiren convinces lolita to grow a nanotech dildo on her forehead.
>tfw you're too powerful to impersonate
Is this cursed?
>GUYS STOP LEWDING ME
Oh yeah, I don't mind if writefag does lewd stuff personally, as long as it's classy, I've said this before. But I don't really post with my name anymore, surprise that didn't cause more of a questioning.
That peach was found on an instagram meme account lol. Just like the nebula alita drawing cartoon
I had a similar idea but with the panel of just her eyes at the bottom of this page
I don't mind them either, I demanded a kissu story and it was passionate yet it wasn't dirty like cheap porn.
> he doesn’t know I impersonate every namefag and Jerome whenever I’m bored
>Just like the nebula alita drawing cartoon
Gimme a link, I want to know who it was.
This one is stuck in my head
Not even mad, but you're getting the sukku for that.
I was 95% sure it wasn't you but even this is nothing compared to the train wreck of thread... 110 was it? When we had like 5 people posting under the Peaches tag. That was the first ever real namefag drama.
Get keen for #999.
As long as its the good feeling sukku pls
I-Im sorry Ali
>I couldn't help myself
>It's gonna be the "show me your necc" kinda sukku
>It's necc time
>Get keen for #999
Don't you fucking dare writefag
Interfere in battle.
Interfere in running.
Always interfere.
Alita would never want that.
>Alita needs to Sneeze "Aaaachuuu

The absolute state of these threads lately
The bluray can't get here fast enough
I like it. Here’s some of mine
This is disgusting quality art
It's a lot better than it just was recently. The BD will bring salvation though.
Dude, buck up. First half of this thread was awesome, and entirety of last thread was classic /ABAG/- & /ALITA/-tier. There are always gonna be a few bumps in the road.
Alita endure and told us.
>Nooooooooooooo!
>you said that for ever necc sukku I got a good sukku
The one on the left is maybe my favorite image of Alita
fucking zoomers and their gahtdamned meme face.
>I eill give 500 thousand credits to the officer who retires the replicant known as Alita
>Shadman
Anyone in favor of more Blade Runner-esque 'Chinatown' scenes in Alita 2? Crowded rain scenes at night with neon everywhere and cool food and machines and stuff.
Not shadman
I’m surprised he didn’t do an Alita drawing
Maybe even he knows she’s not for lewd
SHE'S SNEEZING !!!
Fuck yes I am considering how vol 3 of the manga is
I would love that with a nice slow synth score
But isnt the second one gonna be like a western in the desert?
They already ruled out neon because it's too complicated to exist in Iron City
>But isnt the second one gonna be like a western in the desert?
People are debating whether this would be two or three.
I think the western one will be the third movie
shotstolefrombladerunner.webm
Literally that scene at night with neon lights before that one black chick is killed. At night, after breaking off from the motorball game, Alita rolls by the place Ido and Chiren had been walking through, but at night, Neon lights are clearly visible. Hell, there's several shots of various neon signs throughout the whole movie, dude.
I think a small amount could be tasteful but not like huge blocks
I really do think we need the full Jashugan arc so yeah I'd be inclined to agree
Hey buckybud
This is the guy the name is in this pic
is2.Yea Forums.org/tv/1557765412423.png
They deliberately avoided making Alita look like Blade Runner or the typical cyberpunk movie which is why half of it takes place during the day, so I'd be really surprised if we get rain or neon
How is this movie only a trilogy if there are volumes and volumes of manga? What part of the manga, BAA, LO, and MC was Cameron planning on doing these movies around?
Thanks
I can't recall any signs that are illuminated with actual neon, those colors exist but signs made of glass tubes filled with glowing gas don't exist
>not mixing it up for the sequel
whut
And I'm not talking the whole movie, I'm talking a 10-15min scene like this movie's bar scene.
I think the original series could be done in three movies if they took stuff out and compressed the time scale a bunch, Cameron has read LO and MC but I don't think he has written anything around them yet
I think they'd only adapt the original Gunnm run since LO and MC go fairly tonally off the rails. I still like them but they'd be a bit of a jump. I do wonder how they'll do the ending though since they're probably not keeping the Alita becomes a plant ending.

you guys realize everyone check this general and laugh at yall, right? jesus
Yeah they can't stay away from it either
We will not stand by in the presence of evil

Let's finish this thread off.
Together!
>reaches toward you
>gets shredded by defense ring
oh no.
Is thread quality dictated by number of posters or by post quality? Good luck arguing the former.
>We'll always be running...
>Together...
Well shit
That's basically how I see it but personally I want to see the Sonic Finger story in movie 2 as a break between motorball and fighting Zapan
>Ido makes her a new doll body as a gift
>Alita takes of beserker
Current canon Alita would never do this. Why would she ever go back to anything else from the Berserker body. It makers her feel more...she.
Yeah I think it's more likely that the gets stuck in the motorball body for a while
How else would Nova steal the beserker

If only they take the Ultimate Boomer from LO and give him a cameo. Dude is maximum based. He could be at the motorball stadium or something.
