Now it's time for a true classic among anime history, Battle Angel. Battle Angel is a cyperpunk thriller about a man named Ido that finds a broken cyborg body while rumaging through the city's junk yard. Ido manages to rebuild her however now she has no memory of her past and an even more uncertain future. The animation is superb for being released in 1993 and a cast of unfogettable characters really makes this short series worth catching at least once. What is truley amazing is that the extensively detailed plot that is crammed into a 70 minute show is never too big for it's own good and how well poished the final product is.The main problem is that I've read that James Cameron bought the rights to Battle Angel and now the DVD is all but dried up. You can't even rent it, I'm glad I kept my VHS copy. His live action version is set to be released in 2009 and hopefully the DVD animation will come back out. I believe I saw someone had broken a dubbed version of this up into different parts on YouTube for viewing but I'm not posting links... I'll leave that to you if you really want to watch it that way. If someone has more info on the live action version coming out I'd be glad to hear it because I can't find squat on it.
