This review includes the OVA
So i finished Gunslinger Girl S2. and they made quite a few changes to both the animation and music. The changes itself are both good and bad. I liked the fact that this one focused more on the story and world building however i didn't like how the epic music of S1 was practically non existent here. I preferred the animation in S2 than S1 but this is really a minor preference. Now it has the same issues as S1. Despite changing directors. the series about robotic cyborg girls that are assassin/hitman are still somehow boring. The issue with S2 is

I really wanted to give this season a fair chance, and after being pretty disappointed with the first episode, I decided to give this season up to episode three to sell me on its strengths, unfortunately I could not live up to my own standards and dropped this season after just two.
From the get go, the art is changed, and in no way is it an improvement. A lot of use of shaking stills, animation became less fluid, and the biggest change in my opinion, is the overall style. The first season's atmosphere is lost through the style change, the girls all look like they ... Sep 1, 2014

This show, including its first season, had the opportunity to do many things really well. It could have been a heartbreaking/warming story of the humanity of its "cyborg" characters and their relationships with their handlers.

I would also like to point out that I dropped it after 4 episodes, so some of the details might be off. So where to begin, well first of all the story is a bore. It constantly tries to add layers of development across all these different factions and tries to tie it's story together like it's a Deus Ex game. But none of the plots that go ... |
