It only happens once in a blue moon, folks....we finally got a big
Hollywood movie that does manga (and anime) justice?! I break from
the podcast’s normal format to team back up with my pal and
Battle Angel Alita superfan Rachel
(aka @SporadicErratic on Twitter) to discuss this milestone
for Alita fans everywhere! Listen as we first talk
about what we HOPED the movie would include beforehand, and then
our joy and excitement (and some minor nit-picking) afterwards in
this extra special, extra long Alita Extravaganza!
Also in this episode: we briefly discuss how translating manga has
changed dramatically since the 90s, Rachel coins the
phrase “crocapocalypse”, and we rant about pudding. Now go
support this film in theaters while you have the chance!
