I really enjoyed GSG season_1, which is why I ordered this. It seems the writers had listened to critics who didn't like the idea of little girls trained to be assasins. I'd speculate these critics are mostly women. From a guy-mentality perspective, it's cool and practical to teach children to become government operatives to go after the bad guys. I'm sure Al-Quida, Hamas, and other terrorist groups would never expect children to come up and slit their throats, or pull a handgun with silencer to dispatch them to Allah. GSG season_2 is 80% yadah yadah dialogue and 20% action, which is a dissappointment. Some thought provoking scenes, like the ambush on a military truck delivering weapons to the black market, only to realize one member was a long-time friend who turned traitor. Another is the female bomb expert who only wanted to avenge her father, not realizing she had become a terrorist. If GSG season_3 was axed, it's because season_2 was a disappointment. I'd still purchase season_3, hoping they've gone back to the action-packed scenes they've shown on GSG season_1.Read full review
Gunslinger Girl II Teatrino is a great addition to the series. The story line was more in depth and did not focus on just the girls, but also the other relationships surrounding the girls. One slight downside was the art compared to the first series and also the coloring. I see Gunslinger Girl having a more dark tone, but the colors were bright throughout Teatrino. If your on the fence on wanting to buy this series, then buy it!! It's a great addition to the series in many ways!
This anime is awesome. I finally bought the second season after watching the 1st one. This one is just as good. There's guns and action with a great story as well. If you like anime, you should defiantly give it a chance, but watch the 1st season first.
If you saw the first season, then this kicks everything up a couple of notches. This part of the series deals with the supporting characters more than the main one. Plus the the complicated and compelling storyline makes it more entertaining. The characterization of the villains make you want to feel sorry for them and you care for them greatly.
An outstanding DVD series. I highly recommend it. This anime series has a combination of both intense action sequences and tender, moving, intimate moments which keeps the watcher captivated.
