AGP#110 – Alita Fever with Daryl Surat and ABCBTom

In this extended episode, Evan brings in special guests Daryl
Surat (Anime World Order, Otaku USA) and ABCBTom (The Fandom
Post, Crunchyroll News) to review Alita: Battle Angel, James
Cameron and Robert Rodriguez’s live-action adaptation of Yukito
Kishiro’s manga series Gunnm, aka Battle Angel Alita. The episode
is mostly spoiler-free, other than a section at the end marked by
a handy spoiler alert. David sat this one out, but fear not,
he’ll be back soon. Topics include: the dang anime eyes, CGI My
Neighbor Totoro, and the Truth of Zalem.

How well did it do as a standalone movie?
