Preliminary Spoiler
Jan 24, 2008
Preliminary (1/13 eps)
Okay, this is the first review I've even written and the first anime I've ever graded 1/10, but after watching just the first half of the first episode, it is easy to see how poorly this season compares to the first.

For one thing, the animators are extremely lazy. In the first season, movements were fluid. The girls made firing guns and taking bullets a work of art. Even the few short combat sequences were poetry. But in Il Teatrino, the animators took a still image of a mob attack and shook it. Literally, they shook the image to give the illusion that the people were ...

Preliminary (3/13 eps)
After watching the original series of Gunslinger Girl a few times over the years and just prior to the 2nd series, I find this series to be awefully lacking in many respects.

Right now, from the 1st episode, the story is hard to comment on, but the Artwork is severly lacking in comparison to series 1 which is much older.
It also seems to me that the voices on many of the characters have changed even though some sound similar, some are very different.
The characters seem to have a completely different style than they did in the 1st series also, they clothing and looks are similar in ...

After watching the first season, I was excited, but now I'm rather sorry to see the second season.


Story 1/10 - the worst
Isn't it some fan-made sequel season?

Art 1/10 - I've never seen anything so bad. Art is worse than in Berserk.
The first season looked much better. All the characters in this season look like they were 19 years old. Why didn't they do the same as in the previous season?

Sound - Baaad

Preliminary (3/13 eps)
I absolutely adored the first season of Gunslinger Girl. By the first few minutes of the first episode of season two, I could tell that this was going to be a dumpster fire of a sequel. with the drop in audio quality, the drastic changes to animation and character design, and the overall tone of the show flipped on its head i knew i wasn't going to enjoy this show. where the first season put a focus on the girl's emotional states explored in an episodic format, the second puts a focus on action scenes in a longer running story arc. with the change to ...

In Short...
If you really liked Madhouse's interpretation of Gunslinger Girl and are expecting more of that, you're not going to like S2. But if you've read the manga and can look past the low production quality, then you'll probably have more respect and patience for this show. But overall, there are so many things that get in the way of making a decent show, and that goes beyond just the animation and audio budget. In my opinion, the show didn't make good use of the limited time it had.

Lack of Focus
A lot all of characters have conflicts that I felt didn't receive adequate time to ...

Teatrino means a little (puppet) theater, also as in treating life(death) as a game/play, same point made by the play in an episode of this season, and yeah the girls are like puppets(cyborgs) in a play(story) in-world and in a meta sense.

The the studio art/animation extreme downgrade across all aspects is rough: (Frequent powerpoint slide nonanimation aside) They changed the entire art style and character model designs of every character not only for the worse but causing severe noncontinuity confusion of figuring out who is who along with the immersion breaking of effectively having new actors swapped in for every role. The cinematography is completely ...
