Gunslinger Girl [S1+2+OVA]
kureshii:
I loved season 1. Dropped season 2 after episode 7; it just didn't match up to the great atmosphere and mood set by Madhouse in season 1, IMO. It... "loli-fied" the characters too much, for want of a better word.
But it doesn't matter anyway since I'm following the manga. Thus far the anime follows the manga very closely, which is a good thing IMO. It misses out quite a bit of backstory though. The story fits the manga format nicely since it's not action-oriented.
And those who prefer the less loli girls, go grab the manga. A new character gets introduced later on, who's even older than Triela (I think; can't remember age) ^_~
Well, I didn't watch far enough into Season 2 to know if she's appeared in the anime or not, anyway; it's possible she's in the anime too in the later episodes :P
[edit] Ok nevermind, just confirmed that she hasn't appeared in the anime yet. Wiki puts her age as 16 (I haven't confirmed this with the manga yet) so... probably legal, huh.

*snort* 16 is still too young :P
It sounds like Season 2 isn't very good. That's rather disappointing :(

Agreed, think guess it will turn out similiar to claymore for me, watch near the end and then switch to the manga for continuation.

Storyline is okay, everything else ... yes, everything else = garbage. Even the animation. Season 1 completely annihilates season 2 in every corner and the funny thing is, season 1 is a 2003 release and season 2 is a 2008 release.
kureshii:
But then again, not really a fair comparison, since season 1 is a Madhouse release, and season 2 is an Artland release, LOL.
