Gunslinger Girl 2: Il TeatrinoFollow

Anyone else excited for the North American DVD release next week(August 18th)? Anyone worried about the lowered animation budget they got for it compared to the first?

To be honest, I hadn't seen any reviews for it(aside from the one on Amazon, which was a pretty positive one(mentions that while the animation itself isn't quite as good, it still has a good story), so I've been looking online to see what I can find. So far, all I've found is frustration in finding much, since it appears that both the new series and an OAV are named "Il Teatrino".


Edit: Right after posting this, I found some reviews. They all pretty universally pan the animation and one notes a few continuity errors(loading a shotgun but shooting a rifle, etc). However, they all give it praise for the story itself. Good enough for me. I shall remain cautiously excited, though it sounds like reading the manga would be an acceptable alternative to get the story without the downside.

I still haven't seen it myself. Damn Netflix has had it on Short Wait since pretty much after it came out, so I haven't gotten to yet.

I agree, though, as long as the story's good, it'll be worth it.
