I thought the movie was flawed with a lot of potential on my first watch. Then I started actually reading Gunnm and thinking back it's amazing such a decent retro-adaptation came out of Hollywood. In the light of this perspective really my only major gripes are Hugo's casting and Jashugan getting shamefully axed. I pray that it gets sequels.

Jashugan didn't get axed, he is shown explicitly for a sequel if it gets made.

Fair. I just can't fathom how they're going to pace the intended trilogy if they have to fit in more motorball.

I had trepidations about this but was impressed by the faithfulness to the source material and the character they managed to inject into the setting. Basically I agree with everything in the OP. Particularly concerning the eye thing. It was really bugging me in the trailers but it truly becomes invisible very quickly. Thank christ. That final iconic scene too, tho. drat they nailed it flawlessly.

I got around to watching this on friday having only read up to the second Grewishka fight or so and I was pleasantly surprised. Super happy I bothered to see tthis in IMAX.

The most glaring omission to me was how they introduced the arc plasma shooting out of her fingers...... and then proceeded to do nothing with it. She kept using the sword instead. Her new body performed identically to her old body. Overall entertaining adaptation, especially if you manage to keep your hopes low going in

Her new body performed identically to her old body. The plasma was clearly presented as one half of what made the sword so lethal. The bit where she wraps it in blue flame was a pretty impressive 'oh, right, that's why she can do that' moment.

Oh okay. I stand corrected. I haven't gotten to the part in the manga introducing the sword, so it wasn't that clear from the movie. The way Zapan described the sword I just assumed the sword had functions like that built-in.
