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 that they waste too much time on characters that no one really gives a shit about. as such I enjoyed the beginning episodes and the later episodes but the stuff in the middle was somewhat of a wreck. The story is really mostly about the cyborgs vs the terrorist. Pinnochio was a decent villian and i liked his backstory. Though not when they kept showing it again and again. None of the other villians were charismatic and such the fact they basically wasted 3 episodes on them is a real waste. The series should've stuck with its strong suit which is the relationship between the Girls and there handlers. Henrietta especially expression and emotion is outstanding but she's barely in this season. Overall i think it was slow just like the first. There are new issues but there are also improvements in the first season. And though episode 13 was baller it just not enough for me to say this series is a must watch
6/10.
