GUNNM, also known by the names Hyper Future Vision GUNNM and Battle Angel Alita, is a manga created by Yukito Kishiro between 1991 and 1995 and published in the magazine Business Jump. In 1993 the adaptation to the anime was made. Despite having considered the adaptation of the entire series, there were only two OVAs (one for each of the first volumes), since they did not sell well in Japan. Partly it was because of the Asian economic crisis and partly because the fans were disappointed by an adaptation that greatly simplified the intricate plot of the manga.
