BAA: Last Order is still good stuff. It's just not as good as the original. If the original was a 5-star manga, Last Order is a 3.5 star manga.
Totally the opposite for me, i found the original almost a bland shōjo manga in a cyberpunk setting and with shōnen elements, especially at the beginning. Could barely stomach Alita's love interests, both of them, but the first one was totally terrible for me.
Started to get more interesting as it developed... but then it suddenly stopped with one of the most rushed and unsatisfactory ending ever.
Also never understood the fixation all the "old characters" had with the physical base for their minds, panzer krust seemed just like giber jabber for a magical plot device... tons of small stuff like that.
Last Order is much, MUCH more to my liking. Though i understand it may be less emotionally engaging, it's world feels a lot better structured.
