So I was a HUGE fan of this when I was a kid. The manga was an unqualified masterpiece, and the OVA was pretty good, too. So I watched the trailer this morning, and my reaction was ... mixed. There were some parts that look just plain awesome (eg Alita grabbing the dude by the throat). But some of it was utterly weird. The scene where she pulls her heart out, for instance, seems like it was included specifically to grab the Twilight demographic. And the biggest problem is the eyes. I get that she is a robot and therefore does not have to look 100% human, but they digitally altered the actress to give her face the proportions of an anime character. The result is weird and unsettling, and I'm not sure that's what they were going for.
Any thoughts? |

I think they should have just used Rosa Salazar's real face and worked the special effects around her features. The anime eyes didn't translate well in this case.

yeah... that face was very off-putting. Maybe the younger crowd will dig it- but to me it made everything else look off. I guess it gets around the race of the actress playing an anime character (Ghost in the Shell?)but it just looks way too weird.
