Nice job, Priscilla.

A decent episode, had a few boring parts too. I'm still hoping for a little bit more action.

Once again nearly nothing occurs. Ha, I will predict the entire series will be able to be summed up in about 3 short paragraphs when it is finished.

An interesting episode, though on the dull side. Still, I thought the ending was rather well done, showing how Angelica is still going downhill and truly doesn't have much time left. As with Cyruz, I'm hoping it will pick up some more action, but the character development is coming along alright (that is, as long as you don't compare it to season 1...)

This episode was better than the last one (imo).
The majority of the episode was meh, but the ending was pretty good.

It's amazing how little content from the manga they used. There is such little focus on the girls too. This series is complete garbage, I think the sooner I stop watching the sooner I will stop dying inside every time I see Triela.

I just finished ep 5 and found it interresting. This one is starting to show signs of the flow of the first season. Its the first episode where I could start making comparisons of story line content and dramatic flow. The only thing is I have to admit like others here. I'm dying inside alittle with each episode. The ending was trying so hard to be emotional and cause a reaction in the viewer. And I found myself wanting to feel sad and be drawn in and was just left empty. The cartoony feel of these episodes and the lack of emotional animation cues of the previous series were hard to get past. I feel like I'm watching the cartoon version of Gunslinger Girl the movie. Its very fustrating. I know I cant get into it like I did in the last series. That hurts most of all.

Being a fan I will continue to watch and hope for the best in the future.

Please someone if you make a 3rd series. Do us loyal fans the dignatiy of bringing back the artistic content that made us fans in the first place.

Well After viewing up to eps 8 I can see a trend towards getting closer back to the original series style of artistry and feel overall. Its a welcome change and I'm very happy to report that there is has been changes and they look great. The heads are a little over-sized but not if I didnt mention it you all might not notice it. lol
Now if we can only get the last 3 episodes with english subtitles.

Better than last episode.
I feel bad for Triela.

Marco's ex-girlfriend is cute, IMO.

I thought about a lot of things and had a lot of comments to share about this episode as I was watching it but for some reason after hearing the BGM towards the end of the episode, none of that matters now.

What matters is... WHERE CAN I GET THAT BGM SONG?! OMGWTFBBQQQQ

Am I the only one who likes the new animation better than the old one? And am I the only one who finds the second season much more entertaining than the first one? =OOO

So there's this scene, after Marco's ex-girlfriend started crying, where we see Rico using a sniper rifle...

So... was Marco's ex-girlfriend silenced as well? :(

If Marco and Ange weren't the other fratello in that operation, Patrizia would probably have a huge hole in her head.

kinda depressing ending. Still clear marco still loves his ex and vice versa and the fact that no matter what angelica is steadly decling. The BGM at the end was pretty good.

This episode and the last one really focuses on Angelica and her relationships huh. This episode was pretty boring but the ending was actually nice!

I was expecting more reactions from Marco's ex-girlfriend though...

I like how Noto Mamiko voiced Elsa and now she voiced Patricia xD

Not Pasta Kingdom, that's just so sad Angelica never remembered it ever again :(

You know, they keep saying these girls don't have long to live, but it's not like they are bothering to specify. Even in the instance in which we saw the fate of them, with Angelica's death, they simply retconned it. So, it's kind of just annoying to have to see them talk about it so much if there isn't a real stake involved.

I guess we're trying to do some worldbuilding? But, it seems like we've gone so far away from what the series was really about. I feel like the focus hasn't been on any of the girls for awhile. It also seems like a lot of the episodes this season really aren't tied together as much anymore. It's just random events.

I wonder if Marco's ex-girlfriend was also silenced now that she knows the truth about the Social Welfare Agency.
