With all the talk about the upcoming live action Ghost in
the Shell movie, what better time to revisit another (slightly
less popular) 90s series about a kick-ass cyborg who sometimes
questions what it means to be human! My friend Rachel from
RachelLovesComics joins me to talk about Battle Angel
Alita: the various incarnations, the sometimes surprisingly
relevant themes throughout, and even the 80′s style poofy hair
(even though it was the 90s.)
