A gutted cyborg with no past wakes up swinging, and the only person who gives a damn about her is the one who rebuilt her from scrap. Two episodes compress what should have been a season into something that hurts more because it ends before you're ready. The OVA doesn't have time to waste on exposition, it trusts you to feel the weight of what it means to be alive in a place designed to make that impossible.
Doc Ido is a doctor and mechanic who lives and works in the Scrapyard, a hellish, postapocalyptic place. In a junk heap there he finds the remains of a female cyborg, somehow still intact. He revives her and rebuilds her. She has no memory of her past but is unnaturally strong, and as Gally she starts building a life of her own in a world where any day can turn into a fight to survive. The two episodes of this action-driven science fiction drama adapt the first two volumes of the Battle Angel Alita manga.
