Battle Angel, known in Japan as Gunnm (銃夢, Ganmu), is a 1993 original video animation (OVA) based on the Battle Angel Alita manga series by Yukito Kishiro. It is directed by Hiroshi Fukutomi, and jointly produced by KSS Inc., Movic, Animate and Madhouse. The OVA comprises two episodes, Rusty Angel and Tears Sign, corresponding respectively to volumes 1 and 2 of the manga with some differences, serving as a compressed preview for the manga.
According to Kishiro, only two episodes were originally planned since at the time he was too busy with the manga "to review the plan cooly [sic]" and he was not serious about an anime adaptation. He has no plans to revive the anime.[1]
