Get the reference there? Please? Um, right. I started reading around the aniblogosphere while I was waiting for the subbed versions but after getting the general “not as good as the original” gist repeatedly, I gave up on reading and commenting. Put it down to the way in which reading excessive negativity dampens my mood and [...]

Really, this episode rocked! I’d much rather see badly animated, but well-coordinated fights than godly animated, but abysmally coordinated ones. Flashy graphics is one thing, but if all the characters do is hurl flashy beams towards each other until one goes down, then I’d pass. I’m really impressed at how the plot has developed up [...]

And the anime credits feature of the blog rises from the dead once again!  We’ll see how long it stays there this time.  I also replaced deleted vidoes and added some better quality ones for some of the past credits that I’ve posted as well. In any case, despite what I think of the overall animation [...]

Whereas last episode was very much focused on the introduction of Pinocchio and his collaboration with Franca and Franco, this week’s installment follows Triela and Hilshire’s mission. As expected, Triela and Pinocchio’s encounter was interesting, unfortunately it is one: nil to Pinocchio. With the terrorists on the move, the story is definitely movie along [...]

Yeah, yeah, OK, so it’s better than episode one. We have Triela reading the story of Pinocchio; we have she being traumatized and wondering about her life, and we have decent gun fighting sequence and fighting sequence. I’m sure many others said something about this episode already. All I’ve gotta say is - KEEP THIS UP, PLEASE. But [...]

It’s episode 3, and Pinocchio finally gets to meet his first Gunslinger Girl: Triela. Surely he can’t beat these indestructible cyborg girls, right? Right? Go Straight to the Screenshots | Go Straight to the Review The highlights of this episode: Hilshire and Triela are tapped to go to Montalcino to investigate a Public Safety Division officer (I’m [...]

One of the major things that shocked me this season is the almost lack of interest of Gunslinger Girl ~IL Teatrino~ by most anime blogs. A cursory look at the various moonspeak suckers raw-viewing bloggers (I still love you, Totali) other than Random Curiosity made me realize that Gunslinger Girl is not in their radar [...]

Let me place up this warning: if you’re watching Gunslinger Girl because of the action, then drop this series now. Seriously, if you thought the fight in the first episode was bad, you haven’t seen anything yet. Artland just doesn’t have the budget to animate nice fights, and in this episode, this shows. In terms [...]

It’s episode 2, and we have a Gunslinger Girls without many gunslinging girls in it. This time, nearly the entire focus is on their new nemesis-to-be, the boy assassin known as Pinocchio. We also say “welcome back” to a pair of old friends from the first series, as well as the return of [...]

After a disappointing start, this episode seems a little better, or perhaps it only felt better because of last episode, which demolished any expectations I should be having for the series.. The episode focuses on a new character called Pinocchio, there was a little bit about his past and how he has been brought up [...]

We’ll see how this one turns out. Go Straight to the Screenshots | Go Straight to the Review The highlights of this episode: Hilshire [...]

Interesting, an episode without nearly anything about the main cast. They only appear at the final minute or so. Instead, the antagonists get fleshed out. We see the two bomb-technicians (what where they again? My memory about the first season is too fuzzy) from first season back, and they team up with a newly introduced [...]
