Eh Season 2 is out?!?!?!

okay okay HOWEVER. the best scene is by far a chaffee chasing an L33 down a rollercoaster.

Plz like this comment if u got a weekly GuP watch

Wonder what anime studios look like IRL. Are they just doodling until one morning a random employee just burst through the door and says stuff like "Tactical, loli assasin, cyborg death squad!" and everyone is like "Looks like that's what we are doing now." Or do they have some kind of raffle "Let's see... this year we will be working on a *picks paper slips* cute girls... action... gun porn and cyborgs. The raffle has spoken, make it happen."

As a former service man I love this anime because it really depicts what garrison life is when you are stationed to a small far off place no one really cares about, your comrades become more than friends, they become family.

i love this review. its honest. kekw.

i have absolutely zero clue what any of this means but it was pretty funny

I understand that Uma Musume is not for me, but I love it. Without it, I would not have the greatest anime of this decade, Bravern. Those little horse girls ran so my beloved super robots could fly once more.

Nahhh what did Darjeeling do to my girl peko 😭

Sucks that I missed most of the stream, but I used intermission to talk about Gunslinger Girl, so in a way I won

thank you for the wonderful video essays as always

"Pekoe impregnated me" 🤨

they never ended season 1 properly . Especially the story of the main characters.

THE ORIGINAL SPRITES ARE GOOD

This was actually really good

"A story where the cast gets randomly shot by bunny girls" i'm dead

10:12 Okonogitrice... Anyway, this kind of red truth quibbling does serve some purpose within the story itself, like how in episode 8 there are all those puzzles with subtle word games that are there to prepare you for Bern's detective minigame.

By far this is is the most unhinged Macross review I have ever seen. I love it.

I think I was a bit too late finding this video. I honestly think the Collab with Girls Frontline is basically the "Real true Epilogue" for the Gunslinger Girl manga ending and that the Gunslinger Girl is set in the same universe like Girls Frontline, in which they were hinted to be the prototype T-Dolls. Especially since the story event was penned by Yu Aida. So in a way, after the event was finish, the girls consciousness survived in the future and lived in a peaceful life in the digital world who was created by Triela daughter 50 or 60 years ago.

I just finished the VN two hours ago and this video is 100% on point

Was a bit surprised to know it's a shonen manga. Shonen is a demographic afterall.

having watch both the anime and read the manga i'd say both media are worthy of theyr own existence, Yu Aida himself praised the anime for it qualities and the music alone is a good enough justification for it even tho for the sake of knowing the end of the story you NEED to read the manga, just be aware of the PTSD that you'll have afterward.

i hate you for what you said about Rico but i realy like the fact that unlike other review i saw, you didn't just bashed the second season and hinted that the art style may have a tie both with the manga art change AND with the fact that the season focus on a specific narative arc of the manga that to me was a good explanation for a softer lighter touch on the whole story

thank you for remembering the Gunslinger Girl. + love your sense of humour + agree with the incentive to read the manga

super deep uh?... ill wait 👀

Я рад что ты сделал это видео, потому что у меня была такая же проблема. Ну что могу сказать, потрясающая работа. Ты не только провёл фактчекинг так ещё и проанализировал сценарий чтобы понять что пошло не так. Настоящая детективная работа, мне очень понравилось

LLORA LORA BEBE. CRY..CRY BABY, GIRLS UND PANZER THE BEST!

13:10 You can argue that Rosatrice isn’t the correct solution, but the video throughly discredits the “official” explanation

I watched that anime in preparation for watching your video. Im glad I did. After I finished WEP I though "What a waste of time", but then I watched your video, laughed all the way and thought "It was worth it". Thanks for your hard work and for sharing.

I love this!!!

I never really expected you to create any longer form videos, but this was still great regardless. I haven't really thought much of Wonder Egg since it finished airing way back, but you definitely brought up some great points. PS, I'm still holding out for that Strike Witches video at some point, but I don't expect it to be anywhere near as long or in depth as this one.

Neru-chan... I'm so sorry

I watched a 2 hour video about an anime I never bothered to watch and will continue to not bother with. I don't quite understand why I did that, but what's done is done. See ya in the next one

Thanks for posting. Now i feel like watching it... just so i can be as disappointed of what it could've been.

I already wanted to watch it, but now I really want to watch it

Also, hope that clover and their artists recieve great contracts in the futere as they've proven their talents and abilities with this series!

God, that's intresting! Thanks for your work+

I'm still flabbergasted by Battler's sMALL bOMBs

And if you have not seen this anime is no doubt you've been deceived and indirectly mistreated by the world and you are special so the world hides many truths form you

Tanks Girls in uniform And most definitely a large amount of crack Girls und Panzer is the ultimate experience for any History enjoyer

This is brilliant, I am actually going to subscribe

TV Tropes Wiki: this is example for "Seasonal Rot"

5:12 it happened to me. It can happen to you!

Yeah, I dont have an issue with entrtainment reflecting national pride. And yes, it is all usually propaganda regardless of the nation. America used to do that, and it was enjoyable entertainment. I have said multiple times, if my country produced a similar product, i would happily consume it. As it is, our entertainment industry is neither an industry, nor entertaining. Of course, this is only my opinion.

Music at end?

2:29, More than half an hour searching and I still can't find the source of that image, :(

I picked up my first copy at a Suncoast Video, an ADV version, and was hooked immediately by the plot and dark intonation of the whole thing. We all know that government will do all kinds of dark projects for political purposes, but this one took the cake. unfortunately ADV only released the first six volumes and it was many years before anyone would take it back up (Seven Seas, Thank you!) In the mean time we had Cyborg Central, a dedicated group of amateur scanlators on there, and a few metric ass-tons of fan fictions (guilty of writing one myself). The first season was good, but didn't follow much of the manga, which is why the closer-following second season can be forgiven at least some of the artwork and production. I would personally like to draw and quarter the person who thought taking shaky-panned narrow shots of grainy stills was a good idea to convey chaos.God that got old fast. Aida's vision was well planned and it really shows in various levels of continuity of both plot and character. Jose's relationship with Henrietta as a substitute for the regret he feels about his lost sister is well played, and Jean's vendetta is a thing of beauty in its relentlessness. The minor cast is also well fleshed out with all of them having some personal grudge to grind away at in Section 2. Except Sandro. He and Petrushka get a lot of hate even from fans due to the limelight they get later on, but they really are remarkable characters in relation to the rest of Section 2. Triela is DEFINITELY the star, which kind of plays itself out in an interesting context if you think a bit about the actual ending. No spoiler, but if you think of the whole of the manga as being a well-researched and detailed movie.... For context on the choice of little girls, there is an explanation of why they were chosen for the program, largely being because the cyborg implants and brainwashing would work better on kids as a set of tests for the next two generations, as more developed minds require more refined methods. The gen twos are all teens, with a presumed gen three being full-on adults, and eah generation would produce better longevity and results. Loli though it may be in anime/manga styling, there really is method behind the madness. I definitely agree with starting with the manga if you can, though the English Seven Seas releases are fetching high dollars these days. The anime is pretty good though and is worth a watch.

Some details worth noting. Nice solid overview. As someone who DID read the manga (in fact I had a pull of Dengeki Daiyo), yes the manga is the way to go (if occasionally a bit rocky in translation). Another "Girls with Guns" show that Aida has clearly seen was “Desert Rose” (A contemporary of Gunsmith Cats, by the man who did Area 88, they even did a cross-over of GSC and DR). The building assault that Franco and Franca miss lifts a couple of shots directly from a late chapter of Desert Rose. I’d also add: VERY late Jean, is drawn to look like an existing Italian movie star detective. Hartmann is likely named for the man who was connected to the orphanage in “Monster” (the Hansel and Gretel arc in Black Lagoon is a mix of GSG and Monster bits). Triela is likely named for the city of Trier, given that Hartmann hails from the Upper Rhineland. The essential structure of the “Plot” of GSG is much like Evangelion’s (another influence), a “pawn’s eye view”. Even the handlers are often in the dark, and of the girls, only Triela, Claes and Petruska have any real understanding of what is going on. The story (and most of the “arcs”) focuses on the “handlers” and how they relate to their (very doomed) charges. The core 5 girls each represent a different relationship. Henrietta = little sister (with BUCKETS of guilt tied into it). Rico = Attack dog (most dog handlers show more affection for their charge). Triela = Precocious daughter, with a slight Electra overlay. Claes = Widow (a teenage-age amnesiatic widow). Angelica = Aging parent, with attached dementia. It should also be added, Aida likely has had some part of a “classical” education. He tosses off references and quotes with an understated ease (quoting Biblical verse, without attribution, and Ecclesiastes at that, calling a chapter of Volume 7 “The Sheep and the Goats” In English). And his “pen name” kinda tips his hand as well. It would take probably 2 more 12-cours to finish the series which isn’t going to happen. So I enjoy the episodes of the first season and the arcs of the second. Episode 4 is a dark horse for favorite anime-manga Christmas episode. Now that Aida is back creating (The Valiant Must Fall), I am getting back on that pain train, trying not to get TOO attached, knowing what is coming, but having to see it carried through.

dude y'all don't get that this show is only fanservice for players of the game and maybe to attract a few new players

oh.
