Is it fine to say the literal translated title which is "Gun Dream" or does that sound too goofy? Should I just call it Gunnm or Battle Angel Alita instead?

I don't think I've ever heard people call it the Japanese title Gunnm/Ganmu, let alone a literal translation. I usually just call it Alita.

That’s kinda weird I never heard someone call it that. It really translates to that?

If you are referencing the title presumably you are doing so with the goal of communicating about it with another human being? If so then you should use the name people you’re communicating with will actually find useful - either because it’s already the name they know it by or it’s a name they can easily look up. Gun Dream is neither of those.

If you’re just doing it for your own journaling or something then you don’t really need anyone’s opinion on what you call it.
