Fitting that she's portrayed with superhero iconography like the chest emblem. Because it's capeshit for nationalists. Fiction. The fakest mythology to ever not exist.

Gunslinger Girl - A forgotten master peas?
Anonymous
No.1920
Although it is often mentioned alongside "cute girls doing cute things" animes. The fact is that Gunslinger Girl doesn't fall in that category. But it could have.

You see, the mangaka wrote what was essentially a spy-esque novel. It's an action thriller where the focus is on the war between the government and the rebels.
Whomever was in charge of the anime at Madhouse however, decided to shift the focus entirely. The focus is on the girls now, their motivations, relationships and their messed up lives. The show is gray to the bone, from the colours to the music used. Even the girls art-style fits the tone of the series. (Do watch that OP by the way.)

The characters are not only three-dimensional, they are actually pretty complex. Whereas in the manga, some characters literally have no agency or original thoughts. This is literally a plot-point, not even an opinion.

The show is pretty damn deep. It's a very elaborated allegory. And, what is perhaps what I liked the most from it. It's that it's not overt, not hand-holdy so to speak. And that's what ultimately sticks to the "readers" IMO.

Here's a comprehensive analysis (with spoilers) that I've found interesting.
http://neichusanime.blogspot.com/p/gunslinger-girl.html

So, the show had a second season. The mangaka finally got an anime that was closer to the source material. They even throw subtle jabs at the previous season.
Overall, characters were dumbed down. The classic Italian music was replaced with generic, modern action tracks. The girls designs and the overall tone plays more into the "cute girls with guns" stuff. And of course, the focus is on the war between the rebels and the government.

As long as you ignore the 5-8fps fight scenes. It's not bad. But I feel like those who saw a different angle. And went on to explore it in season one, truly surpassed the original vision of the author.

This anime was recommended only once here. Do watch it, it's definitely worth it.

As this board can be rather slow and the standard 'post here when you come' format hasn't helped recently, I figured I'd start a content/recommendation thread.
So, here are the rules:
Whenever you finish reading a manga or watching an anime movie, season, or short series, post here and give it a short review. (Post spoilers for major or minor plot events in spoilers, obviously.) If you feel someone else's review is shit, tell them why so they can improve. I'll start.
Name: Made In Abyss
The Good: the worldbuilding is phenomenal, and the environments are gorgeous. The titular abyss or Netherworld that the story takes place in has varied and versatile landscapes, and each and every one of them is memorable. The creature design is serviceable, a few are uninspired but for the most part they feel at place in a hellscape.
The Bad: there are a few plot inconsistencies and conveniences. Near the end, one of the characters who is portrayed as an experienced researcher seemingly wastes all but two of his test subjects, and then allows the remaining two to escape easily. Reg's arm length seems to fluctuate depending on what the writers need. One minute he's expressing difficulty rescuing the other main character because he lacks the length, the next he's lowering himself down what are presumably hundreds of meters to descend in the abyss safely. The two hollows don't have that well of a defined dynamic, so when you see one of them turned into cat yogurt you don't feel the same emotional investment. The one sentient hollow also sort of stole the show for me, I found her motivations were far more interesting than 'I gotta find my mom.' or 'I am a robot, I will protect you from danger because plot.'
The Ugly: I didn't really like the humor. 99% of it is just some character making a remark about dicks, pussies, balls or butts. Maybe I'd find it a bit less unbearable if they weren't all around 12 (or appear to be around 12). It's just disgusting, felt like the writers were child groomers.

So I just got a Youmu from Amazon (left) and here she is compared to an aliexpress Youmu (right). I gotta say I prefer the aliexpress one, but you can find most of the same knock offs on amazon that you can on aliexpress for about the same price. I found out walmart sells a few of the knock off fumos online too, but they don't have as large of a selection.

Not sure how to explain what exactly is the thing I like about Mirai Nikki. But I think it is the bleak outset without sugarcoating it, or needing or trying to make a happy ending (even though Mirai Nikki has one). It is sort of like Suicide Circle, no western movie would be so nonchalance about the subject matter and just let the story progress into the inevitable conclusion.

Initial D, i love it because you watch this naive Japanese schoolboy compete with the best racers and he still doesn't care too much about driving cars other than he does it for his dad's business but over time he begins to enjoy racing, sure it's a bit cheesy but it still manages to be awesome in the races
the soundtrack is really good too and people still listen to it, my favorite song from the soundtrack is 'night of fire', even Tarrant played 'Gas Gas Gas' from the soundtrack

also all of the stage's after 2 are just shitty reboots, they go against the manga and the original show's premise of Takumi being naive and stubborn and it makes him even more of an asshole than stage 1 and 2
