Battle Angel

Audience emotional responses for Battle Angel (1993) are primarily driven by a powerful blend of dramatic pathos and intense action. **Sadness** and **Melancholy** are prominent due to the dystopian setting, Gally's amnesia and search for identity, and the tragic pursuit of an impossible dream by Yugo. **Empathy** is strongly evoked for Gally's journey and struggles. Counterbalancing this are high levels of **Excitement** and **Anticipation** generated by the dynamic cyborg battles and Gally's remarkable fighting skills as a bounty hunter. **Anxiety** is present due to the constant danger and the foreshadowed misery of Yugo's ambition. Moments of **Satisfaction** arise from Gally's triumphs and her developing relationships.
