Sinopse

High school junior Luke is used to going it alone. After his parents' divorce scattered what remained of his family, Luke has focused on the one thing that gives him control - lifting weights. While his peers find their place on sports teams or in social groups, Luke spends every free moment in the gym, methodically working to increase his bench press and build muscular definition. Life as a gym rat has its benefits. Physical activity provides an escape from Luke's turbulent thoughts, and his growing physique earns respect from some classmates. But it does little to ease his loneliness. Without friends to lean on, each school day brings fresh reminders that Luke remains an outsider. When the popular and attractive Sarah Anderson notices Luke's lifting progress, he is stunned by her request to train together. Sarah sees potential in Luke beyond his isolation, glimpsing a kind heart beneath his gruff exterior. As their gym sessions blossom into tentatively shared lunches and study sessions, Luke fights his lingering distrust of intimacy. But forming new bonds threatens Luke's safe solitary routine. Gossip soon swirls around the "gym punk" spending time with the star cheerleader. Meanwhile, unresolved issues from Luke's family history resurface, testing his resilience. To accept Sarah's friendship and face deeper demons head-on, Luke must learn to lift more than weights - he must lift the heavy weight of his own loneliness.

GUNNM: Alita Battle Angel

In the bustling metropolis of Iron City, amidst the sprawling scrapyards and towering skyscrapers, Dr. Daisuke Ido wanders aimlessly through the central landfill site in search of anything that might come in useful, until he stumbles upon an extraordinary discovery: the remains of an unconscious cyborg girl, arguably hundreds of years old, and whose original brain is still intact. Excited by his discovery, the compassionate Ido takes the girl over to his clinic, where he names her "Alita." When this enigmatic beauty finally awakens, she does so without remembering who she is nor recognizing the technologically advanced world she finds herself in. Lost in a land of technology and treacherous secrets, Alita learns to navigate her new life with the guiding hand of Ido, yet soon, they both discover that Alita herself is a powerful cyborg with abilities beyond compare, and that her adventurous spirit and curiosity cannot be contained, let alone controlled. Alita then sets out to learn about life, embarking on a journey of self-discovery as she explores the depths of her extraordinary abilities and uncovers the truth behind her existence, true purpose and destiny, gaining and losing friends to the cruel world of the Scrapyard, far below the utopian floating city of Zalem, and forming unlikely alliances along the way as she faces formidable adversaries and serves many masters in her quest to protect the oppressed, create a new life for herself and, ultimately, find her place in the world. All credits to Yukito Kishiro.

The same way his mother, father, and sister had been taken away. They took his Kingdom, they even took his destiny. But he is willing to wage a war, against the whole world if need be, to bring everything back. Even if a whole army opposes him, his sword won’t waver. Even if the Emperor sends entire legions against him, his step won’t falter. Even if demons and gods, heroes and villains alike, unite against him, he won’t bend to their will. His own will is iron itself, unstoppable.
