alot of kino. The og is the best part, the sequell last order has its moments but turns the series into a battle shounen for alot of it, and mars chronicles returns to kino but the realease schedule was fucked for a lot of it.

The series also alot of great villians Nova, Mbadi and Mustrer to just name a few.

We haven't seen alita in a while but she is still a toddler so i guess you can't really push the story forward while focusing on a retarded toddler

First manga is kino
Second manga starts off by retconning the first manga's final chapters and continuing the story, it still takes some elements from the ending here and there but there are some things that have been reworked so the original ending isn't really possible anymore given the nature of certain things, third manga is an eternal flashback from which there is no escape, accept that you're here forever and you'll never see the present day conflict the flashback sets up actually play out.

>>
>>275617955
Considering they're announcing Mars' Chronicles ending already, I can only guess the new series will just be a direct continuation of the mars chronicle story except taking place exclusively in the present and mars chronicle's ending just marks the end of the flashback. We'll finally get to see Super Nova again.

Given what we knew about Mars, it had to be this terrible for Alita to end up as a child soldier.

>I just hope keun survives
Nigga, 90% of the characters in MC have died ages ago, we're in a (needlessly long) flashback, Keun fucking dies for sure because this shit happened 300 years ago or so.
It's already a miracle that Keun didn't croak against Gyapollo, and honestly I don't really like that Kishiro is stretching his story even more considering we're still in the toddler part of Erika and Yoko's life on Mars, and Keun's story is just an overly longwinded and slow prelude to the shit that we want to see between Erika and Yoko.
>>
>>275622147
I've never had a hard time following the story. I don't know Japanese so I can't compare it to anything. However, I've downloaded some weak scanlations that made me think the official translations are pretty good.

How does Mars Chronicles compare to Last Order?
>>
>>275625479
I think MC is better than LO. Last Order was too much a battle shonen and, while it had really interesting characters, the atmosphere was way different. Mars Chronicle is more like the original series and explores humanities cruel, insane, repulsive, and grotesque nature. Some of it is shocking and disgusting, nothing in LO comes close.

>Implying Kishiro will live long enough for that.
Guy's 60, working at a martian snail's pace and clearly not interested in any sort of cohesive story given the various retcons, I'm surprised he even remembered Alita's subwoofer-mouth master from BA and rewrote him in the story after Gelda's retcon in LO.
We're still stuck in toddler namek after a decade, what makes you think he'll ever get to a possible confrontation between Alita and SuperNova? And even if he does get back to the present both of them agreed to a truce so Alita can deal with Erika and the Einherjar.

True, we need to transplant his brain into a body donor soon.....
>>
>>275650230
While i enjoy is old style alot more, i personally don't mind his current art style
>>
>>275653701
People don't get that he's still making an interesting story with anticipation and mystery in mind while expanding the world. He's no shonenshitter mangaka, his worldbulding actually matters when the arc is finished. All he lacks is polish and that is a compromise that had to be made if you want the story to even go on
>>
>>275612645
I thought the second series was the best one. It had an impressively large cast of characters who were all enjoyable and well characterised. Which the first series lacked. The trade off is that the main villain for the second series sucked, especially compared to the great villains of the first one.
This latest one I dipped out of for years because its an endless flash back.
>>
>>275625479
Last Order is significantly better. Mars Chronicles is essentially just a massive flash back chapter, I'm not a big fan of it ditching the cast too.

Truth to be told GODbadi was the victim of a galactic asspull nobody would ever be able to deal with, Melchizedek pretty much wished Alita back just to fuck with him, after that it's just a series of inevitable losses because Alita 2.0 is also fully equipped to deal with GODbadi's bullshit, also courtesy of Melchizedek, AND she gets even more bullshit later on in the Z.O.T.T. finals.
Even Kishiro knew it was ridiculous which is why he dramatically nerfed her for MC and removed 90% of her LO haxx as the only characters that could even hope to deal with that shit were Tunpo and Zekka, who also got removed from the plot because they were complete bullshit as well, Mbadi was an extremely competent antagonist that got fucked over by a literal Deus Ex Machina.
>>
>>275654969
Its been many years since I read Last Order, but I remember even other characters within the story completely emasculated him even before that happened.
Its honestly kind of sad because he had so much presence especially at the start and it was just a downwards spiral after that.

Nah, you're mixing things up, all the humiliation rituals with Zekka and Tunpo don't happen until Alita comes back and Mbadi gets nerfed, he dominates for like 60% of the manga and even Zekka doesn't dare to start shit until he sees Alita mogging him.
>>
>>275655085
Yeah its been years, its mostly just a haze now. Still remember loving Last Order even more than the first series though.
>>
>>275654458
Well, I feel like if you just accept that the current day story is on hold and treat it like a prequel, Mars Chronicles is pretty good. With fun characters and interesting world building
>>
How would you feel if Erica gone for good?
>>
>>275655614
Yeah for real, people just can't look past the not as stellar artstyle. MC is important because it delves deep into whatever the fuck happened in the past, panzer kunst, the space war, Yoko, and the final mission before the first series. I personally love how the Kunstlers are more like a military faction with super soldiers than just some shaolin temple type thing

I think the art is fine, though it did decline after Last Order. It's still definitely fine though.
