Gunslinger Girl 2 good story but hated the art style change.


I think they should have stuck with the art style of Gunslinger Girl instead of the artist of style of Valykaria Chronicles etc. Rico in GG2 has a blank retarded and or on drugs look. Henrietta eye's made her look evil and Angelica looked very different all together. I hated many of the main voice actors were changed. Im German American (read my profile for more of what I mean) but German born and raised but Im fluent in Japanese in speech and reading/writing as it was my minor in University my hubby is also a Japanese American we met during Med School anyway we have a large collection of anime but we both hate Sailor Moon lol!

The US has no idea the amount of very good Anime out in Japan as the US only gets a tiny portion even at comic con which we try to go every year only a tiny bit is known. Imo the US has only about 10% of JPN Anime. But then again Japan does not really like the US very much due to the war. Now no offense I don't hate the US I have dual citizenship here. But even in Germany American are not well liked but we do have a huge black stain that was out of our control or does not involve us as those fanatics are mainly gone now. But like Jpn and Italy we are still an occupied country. That I do thing is wrong. Pardon the rant and sorry about the politics I use voice so I ramble at times.

Anyway I love the 1st GG not really the 2nd I really but doubt there is going to be a 3rd as In Japan if you don't get one in a year or 2 you never will get a 2nd or 3rd etc etc. But somehow if they did I hope the use the original art style. I for pete's sake I hope Hollywood doesn't make some crappy movie like they do nowadays with comic book films and or remakes of older films which seems to be the trend now. Its why me and my hubby never watch US media its horrible and boring. We only watch non US media. Like Jpn, Korean, Chinese, German, French, Russian etc etc etc. So many great stuff unlike seeing that old man Tom Cruise over and over again. LOL!

Since I have some free time I'll add to my own private diary lol. The voice actor for Mario in GG2 was horrible why did they pick such a high pitched whiny VA. He sounds more like the sleazy bad guy sidekick than a tough intelligence field agent and I mentioned my hubby is Japanese he or we have seen when visiting Japan to see family and friends only a small number of guys have whiny voices like that most have deep handsome voices like my hubby ;) LOL Even some girls have deeper voices than this actor which totally ruined GG2 for me. We again only buy the Japanese import versions of Anime. And again its too bad the US only has a small percentage of Anime their are so many similar shows to Gunslinger Girl but non are in English or even know outside of Japan. Well breaks over.
