There's no Gunslinger Girl thread. That's not right.

I haven't watched the anime but I really enjoyed the manga.

The first anime is good. It's not identical to the manga in terms of characterization but I love the art design and somber feel. Teatrino is worth skipping, however.

I want a new adaptation that does the entire series, but I have heard neither anime did well in Japan so that won't happen.

One thing I love about the anime was that it made a whole story of what had just been a page in the manga; Elsa's life and breaking point. It made the later scene with Henrietta reenacting what happened and the others' reaction to it all the more poignant.

I'm watching the first season now. I seem to have a knack for picking anime that are in some way incomplete.

I like the somber tone to it but it's definitely slow-paced. Had to keep reminding myself that Henrietta wasn't in the scene and that I was looking at Rico - these girls are all a bit soft-spoken but they could have done more to differentiate the two.

Henrietta seems a lot less... shy by the third episode. I can't tell why that is.

Is it safe to say that the franchise is set in the early 2000s?

Actually never mind.

Seems like someone made a thread to show that it was set in the early 2000s.
