That's it? She just gets blown up and dies? No wonder he had to add a non canon endingI'm moving onto to last order. I want to see her actual backstory. Also why did it go from Zalem to Tiphares?
>>287321284Don't expect a ton of backstory from Last Order but I think it has enough to answer your biggest questions. I think Mars Chronicles gives the full backstory but I haven't read it.>Also why did it go from Zalem to Tiphares?Zalem is the Japanese name, like how Gally is Alita's name originally. I think the newer releases of the first series change it back to Zalem while the newest official Last Order releases keep it as Tiphares.Also the upper city is Jeru in Japanese and they changed it to Ketheres.
>>287321284good call. last order really expands the world building. mars chronicles is my favorite so far.
He wants to be Victor Frankenstein so bad...
>>287321284There's no retcon; everything was re-arranged to make a smoother transition into Last Order. Including the follow up of the BOOM event.>Tiphares*Jeru>anon is about to witness the full glory of Zekka for the first timeYou're going to love it. Second half of Last Order is pure enjoyment... dick kaiju included.>>287321775>I think Mars Chronicles gives the full backstory but I haven't read it.>Kishiro: "It's the story that I want to tell the most">Eternal hiatus, more than one Namek, leave Keun hanging there with Gyapollo, Alita and Erica are nowhere near to even wear their training outfits>Decide to end the run finishing Keun's arc on a whim and rebrand it again because Mars Chronicle faded but this time trying to keep a steady pace (IN THEORY)At least we had... Munster's wild ride and chad Dass. But dammit if MS didn't start out strong.
>>287322352So it's not Chapter 51 -> Last order Chapter 1?How much important shit did I end up skipping?
>>287322437>So it's not Chapter 51It had another chapter released and then Last Order re-arranged events and ideas from it making people say the original ending was retconned.
>>287321775What does Ketheres mean?
>>287324871They come from the kabbalistic tree of life.Ketheres and Tiphares are from Kether and Tiferet, the first and sixth sefirot. Teferet is directly below Kether in the tree of life. Keter means "crown" and Tiferet means "beauty".
>>287321775>Jeru>Zalemsubtle

How is Mars Chronicle? I read some of it a while ago and recently heard it ended so I'm debating picking it up again.
>>287321284he had cancer and thought he was going to die, so the story was wrapped up earlyyou do get a lot of backstory in last order and a bit in mars chronicle, the vibe changes a bit but they're both greatalso zalem and tiphares are just localization changes. It's supposed to be jeru and zalem, it was changed to ketheres and tiphares because they wanted to avoid the religious associations in america I guess
>>287326341Alita story continues after MC
>>287327748Is there another series coming out?
>>287327835Yes, Panzer Kunst Chronicles this year
>>287327871Neat. Thanks for the heads up
>>287326341>How is Mars Chronicle?pointless
>>287326341It's good but really depressing.If you want a payoff to all the suffering, you might have to wait for the next series.
>>287326341there's some great parts, the first few chapters are a lot of funbut there's also a lot of pointless shit
>>287327748>>287327884>>287327942>>287327991I appreciate all of the input, I'll give it a read then. Might wait until Pazner Kunst Chronicles is over before I read it since keeping up with Mars Chronicles just wasn't enjoyable for me.
>>287328324>Might wait until Pazner Kunst Chronicles is overyou might be waiting a while
>>287321284if your reading LOT get ready for a wild fucking ride, it has some really interesting concepts, world building and great villain interspliced with a shonen tournament arc. Also i will stand on the fact that the vampires and their flashback were fucking retardedIf you get to mars chronicles just remember to not fall for the trap of thinking the manga is about the stuff in the pressent, while it is very interesting 90% of mars chronicles is a prequel
>>287327884Wdym pointless we are finally getting alitas real backstory
>>287321284do we think Pazner Kunst Chronicles is just gonna be flashback prequel stuff focusing on the gals learning Pazner Kunst and the conspiracy or are we finally getting back to the present?
>>287329048there might be a little bit of present alita and erica, but I expect mostly flashback
>>287327871do we have any concrete news on when Panzer Kunst Chronicles is coming this year?
>>287329839from a quick google search it seems like the last news we got was from may last year saying it got delayed to spring this year but nothing more specific
