Talk:Battle Angel Alita: Last Order

First header
Great start on the story section. However, there's some overlap in explanations and details between the story, the setting and the character sections. The article could be clearer if without them, IMHO.

Leviathan 1 is at the 2nd Langrange point, according to the fourth Last order volume. Also, the last 'T' in ZOTT stands for "Tournament", IIRC. I've changed these details for now. HertzaHaeon 20:46, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

Cam Ranh is Camlann. Problems with inverse transliterations
The tragedy of Cam Ranh is probably Camlann, the death place of King Arthur, related with Merlin and Morgana. In comics, I have seen that this kind of problems happens frequently with Occidental transliterations of Japanese transliterations of originally Occidental words.

 * By the way, in the Italian edition, the transliteration was changed from the first version, Kamuran (in the first issues) to Camlann in the last issues.--217.172.203.2 10:29, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Story section - turning into a plot summary
The story section is turning into a volume by volume plot summary. It needs to get away from this and provide a general overview of the series without going into too much detail. Broken Sphere Msg me 14:40, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed. I'd happily write a first draft, but I don't want to read about volume 10 to spoil things for myself. Someone should get on it, however. HertzaHaeon 21:27, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Too late for me...Well I had skimmed up thru the last phase just before the last part, so I can do it. :)   Broken Sphere Msg me 22:33, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Appreciation
Hey, thanks for the clear up on Last Order! I was so confused when I was reading it and I couldn't tell where the story fitted in. In thanks, --24.23.19.56 (talk) 20:02, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Plot Change?
As the manga continues and Alita has flashbacks, What is the deal with the vampire having her own book, does anyone know if this is going to continue or if the books will go back to the reguarly scheduled Alita plot? —Preceding unsigned comment added by BattleAngelSechs (talk • contribs) 23:33, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * This isn't a place for this discussion really, but yes, the books go back to Alita's main story after the flashback to Vilma's past. HertzaHaeon (talk) 01:15, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

The primary focus right now is to migrate information over from the articles here that have been targeted for merges. -- Broken Sphere Msg me 16:41, 12 August 2008 (UTC)

Confusion on spellings
The reason I spelled the name Gunmu, is because Ganmu has the dirivative for "Gun" in it; "Gan", making it "Gunmu". See? As for Gunnm, that is just a stylization of that spelling. –  J U M P G U R U  @ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 01:03, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The title has always been spelled "Gunnm" in roman alphabet (combination of "gun" and "dream", I believe... or is it the on reading "mu"? 'not sure why the final "U" would be missing then though), "銃夢" in kanji, and "ガンム" in kana. "Gunmu" was never used officially (as far as I know?) and isn't Hepburn either (that would be "ganmu"). So I'm not sure what it would be exactly, except maybe original research... 81.67.21.178 (talk) 01:11, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I think we should just use Battle Angel Alita. I use to think that GUNNM was pronounced "gun - nim", I still laugh about that. –  J U M P G U R U  @ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 01:17, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Here, sure. That's the official English title of the manga, after all. But if we're going to mention the original Japanese title as well (and I think we should), that would be "Gunnm" / "銃夢" ("Ganmu" in Hepburn).
 * (and yeah, the pronunciation of the Japanese title can be a bit of a mystery, without the kana... ^^; ) 81.67.21.178 (talk) 01:25, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, let's just revert the only-Japan articles to back to their old names. Battle Angel Alita: Kasei no Kioku was a mistake actually. –  J U M P G U R U  @ Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 01:33, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I just time traveled from the 1990s. Gunnm is indeed the spelling used. Gun & dream 205.213.4.20 (talk) 20:52, 24 February 2019 (UTC)

Volume numbers are?
The information in the upper-right hand says that there are twelve volumes in circulation. I see only 10 listed under the Manga section.
 * Those 12 are the japanese volumes. English volumes lag behind a bit. HertzaHaeon (talk) 00:11, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
