Battle Angel Alita

(GUNNM) a manga and an anime created by Yukito Kishiro in 1991 and ended in 1995. Only two OVAs were produced, though more were planned, as they did not sell well in Japan. Part of the reason was the Asian economic crisis, and part of the reason was that fans said the animated version of Gally wasn't "cute" enough.

The manga series was originally entitled "Gunnm" (Gun Dream), but Viz Communications used the title "Battle Angel Alita" when they imported the manga to North America When ADV Films went to release the OVAs, they chose to go with the name "Battle Angel" so that fans would tie it in with the manga version, but dropped the "Alita," as they would have had to redub the original Japanese to make it work.
