In 1991,artist and writer Yukito
Kishiro began to create a new graphic
series for Shueisha Publishing's
BUSINESS JUMP,a weekly comic aimed
at adult audiences.Entitled GUNNM,
(literally,GUN DREAM,)Kishiro's
continuing odyssey of a young female
cyborg's journey of self-discovery,set in
a unique and highly detailed fantasy
setting,captured the imagination of
Japanese readers.Today, over 900,000 devoted
fans follow GUNNM on a weekly basis
In 1992, VIZ Comics, one of North
America's premiere publishers of
Japanese comic books,or "manga,"
decided to bring Gully and her world to
the English-reading public, at that time
changing both the title and the main
character's name to BATTLE ANGEL ALITA.
Again the response was overwhelming,as
kishiro's masterful storytelling enthrolled a
whole new legion of fans.
In 1993, a team of extraordinary
animators, artists and writers began
the arduous task of transforming
Kishiro's intricate universe into a series
of Original Animation Videos, or OAVs.
The results, to date, are two of the
most finely realized animated films
ever created for any medium:
GUNNM-RUSTY ANGEL and
GUNNM-TEARS SIGN. A.D.Vision is
very pround to present both of these
extraordinary films,together, as
BATTLE ANGEL ALITA.
