Cyber Fucking Punk! This is one of the things that made VAC happen. After watching the mindphazer video from frontline assembly and watching battle angel. My heart was set on Industrial music. Not just music, but the view of man and machine. Cyborgs, a ruined utopia, and anarchy. I still see this as the real future that is to come. I see a wasted environment. I see bounty hunters, I see cyborgs, and enhanced humans with bio electronics. I see the world changing so much, that it will not be able to support life the way things are now. Mankind will have to fuse itself with machines to survive the upcoming apocalypse. I still believe this. Make sure you turn on subtitles, and put it to japanese audio. The American dub is SHIT!

Battle Angle paints the perfect picture of how I see the future turning out. The anime is amazing. Came out in 1993, all I had seen at the time was akira. This is what purely sold me into anime, This vhs. I rented it from a video store on a whim. I was lucky. To this day, Gally is my favorite anime character of all time. A tiny girl with a bob hair cut. Mostly a machine.

Bounty Hunters, Cyborgs, Dystopia. My favorite fiction. I am very angry that they never finished the manga translation. This is a huge manga. This could of been stretched out a lot more than it is. Pissed off that people really failed to see the potential of all of it. I recommend checking out the manga as well. James Cameran(titanic, terminator, aliens) was rumored to be working on a live action movie based on this and the manga. I hope it still comes out, Gally will be a CG character, and the rest live action. No idea for sure though.

This is seriously my all time favorite anime. Even though it’s short, and not complete, it is still my favorite. I give this a 5 out of 5. Click here to buy Battle Angel.
