Ah you're right, there's no new ending in the complete edition, just the tech notes and side stories... but it does eliminate the original ending although I'm not sure if it corresponds exactly to vol 9 of the original series collection. Anyway I'd recommend Amazon Japan:</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E9%8A%83%E5%A4%A2-Gunnm-4-YOUNG-JUMP%E6%84%9B%E8%94%B5%E7%89%88/dp/4087825884/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1233483834&#38;sr=8-14" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.co.jp/%E9%8A%83%E5%A4%A2-Gunnm-4-YOUNG-JUMP%E6%84%9B%E8%94%B5%E7%89%88/dp/4087825884/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&#38;s=books&#38;qid=1233483834&#38;sr=8-14</a></p> <p>Somehow the Amazon marketplace international shipping rates are pretty cheap, so you can get a good condition used volume shipped to the U.S. for less than the retail price of the book new. </p> http://bayanime.com/forums/topic/wtb-battle-angel-alita-manga#post-414 Sun, 01 Feb 2009 01:31:27 +0000 ultramike 414@http://bayanime.com/forums/ <p>woah, i've only got the first 3 volumes of the "complete edition", and i didn't know they explicitly changed the ending just for last order. i thought the timeline just dropped the last volume in the original 9-volume japanese run. i'm a little bummed actually because the large print and extras in the complete edition are very nice, and i really liked the original ending.<br /> speaking of which, anyone know where to get the rest of the "complete edition" volumes? </p> http://bayanime.com/forums/topic/wtb-battle-angel-alita-manga#post-413 Fri, 30 Jan 2009 11:00:59 +0000 Ann 413@http://bayanime.com/forums/ <p>(PM'd ultramike)</p> <p>Does anyone know if the new Viz reprint ends with the redone "Gunnm: Complete Edition" ending (that continues with Last Order) or is it the same original series ending? </p> http://bayanime.com/forums/topic/wtb-battle-angel-alita-manga#post-408 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 13:31:27 +0000 ultramike 408@http://bayanime.com/forums/ <p>i've got the viz versions of angel of death and angel of victory (both bought in the late 90's). they're not in mint condition but still in decent shape imho. i can send you a pic if you're interested. </p>
