Release date:

21.08.1993 - Episode 2 - Tears Sign - OVA

This classic OVA adapts the first two volumes of the Battle Angel Alita manga, originally released in Japan as Gunnm. The story takes place in a dystopian post-apocalyptic world, where human nerve tissue has become the most precious commodity, and a mysterious city called Zalem (or Tiphares in the original book) floats high above the hellish Scrapyard. It's down there that doc Ido finds the remains of a female cyborg, miraculously preserved in a junk heap. After he revives and rebuilds her in the image of a young woman, she starts to rediscover the long-forgotten fighting techniques hidden in her body, and decides to become a hunter-warrior like Ido. The unnaturally strong, yet amnesiac Alita (known as Gally in the Japanese version) thus begins to forge a life for herself in a world where every day is a struggle for survival.
