What a coincidence (again): a friend introduced me to that show today. I saw the Zima Blue episode. It was quite thought-provoking and still visually dazzling.

I actually haven't seen the Alita animation, only read the graphic novel. But that medium too provides limitless means of expression. It is my first exposure to Japanese literature, so I was positively impressed with how the author had the audacity to coin answers for questions like the meaning of life or humanity. Questions that are merely presented--not answered--in most pieces.
