Eh.
Still not terribly happy about it. The Mangas have a huge and expansive story line they could take advantage of, with twists and turns that aren't M. Night Shyamalan BS - they're legitimate plot twists that fit into the grand scheme of things.
Plot Twist: Tiphares is not the utopia it was portrayed to be.
Plot Twist: Nova is but a pawn himself in the grand scheme of things.
Plot Twist: Aga Mbadi is the true Bad Guy here. (Though they don't wast much time in establishing this fact.)
Plot Twist: Alita had a major role in the cataclysm from 200 years ago, and this was why she was found in the Scrap Yard.
Plot Twist: Arthur, the inventor of Melchizedek - the quantum computer that has been guiding humanity - has been lurking around as a sort of quantum ghost.
And there are yet more twists and turns to come as Mars Chronicle moves to its eventual ending.
They've pretty much flushed a good deal of that down the toilet now. So we're likely to never see Carula Sanguis and her Stellar Nursery, nor Tohji of the Super Electromagnetic Space Karate school. In fact, given the plot that has been laid out thus far, we probably won't even see Aga Mbadi.
Oh, and forget about ever seeing Lou. That's probably never gonna happen because the TUNED story arc is never gonna happen - that completely hinged upon Nova being an exile and Tiphares trying to get him back (really, Aga Mbadi). Which means we're never gonna see Khaos, Den, or the adorably head-strong Koyomi.
OH. And the Brain Bio-Chips aren't a thing, either. We know this because Chiren actually had her brain, still! Which completely throws out the story arc of Ketheres and its absolute control system, created by (again!) Aga Mbadi.
*Sighs*
It has the potential to be good. But what they needed to do was to go out and make something that was COMPLETELY different - much like how the Ghost in the Shell movies have an entirely different story line from the Stand Alone Complex TV series. Same themes, yes, but very VERY different stories.
But I guess I'm just disappointed now because it's very likely that we're not gonna see these characters that I've come to like very much. Even the utterly vile and reprehensible Herr Muster was likeable as a character because of how utterly and painfully human he was.
