add recBoth of these animes are excellent time well spent. They both give off a retro feel with a some-what gritty, but beautiful artstyle. Many inspirational phrases are said in both that leave you contimplating a persons' own worth.
Iria and Battle Angel Alita have somewhat similar story and the main characters in both look quite alike. If you liked one you should give the other a try too.
P.S. Both of those titles suffer from "cool main character syndrome" (which means the story is a bit sucky), but BAA has a better one than IZTA.
Shamanic Princess
- OVA (6 eps)
- 1996
In the Guardian World, there live magic users and Neutralizers whose goal is to protect the Throne of Yord -- the source of their power. When the Throne is stolen from its place of rest, it’s up to Tiara and her furry familiar Japolo to find it… but things aren’t always as they seem. Beneath the façade of a simple painting lies the true identity of the Throne of Yord, and beneath the pretense of a simple theft lies the real reason it was stolen… a reason that may end up costing Tiara and her friends their very lives!

add recBoth Iria and Shamanic Princess take place in worlds far removed from our own, with their own set of rules, weapons, magic, and monsters. Though it takes a bit to get into the world, both are richly populated with interesting characters and nuances. Both series are all 6-episode OVAs, long enough to have a story, but short enough to tell it quickly and with style. Plus, who doesn't love fighting girls?
