Yeah, I love this series. Not as much as you, but still quite a bit. I had scattered single issues from when it was first published, and I've collected the books since I noticed it being republished.(Just got 7 & 8 yesterday, actually)
I like Alita's old look much more than the new one though. The new pages are obviously better technically(the art looks a lot cleaner), but I think it loses something there. I can't imagine a design like Figure Four's(was that his name?) showing up in it, for instance, but I liked how that sort of rough design was in Alita. Plus I think she looks better as her wimpy self compared to that Last Order image you chose, anyways. The old contrast of frail body + badass ability thing, I guess. But I've only flipped through the last order books, so my opinion might change once I get used to them.
