@Kris-chan: Hmm, it’s been a few years, but I thought there was a pretty good mix of bullet action and character drama… In any case, I should probably re-watch it sometime. As if I didn’t have enough on my list! >_<;

Hm, I actually got the impression that the second season of Gunslinger Girl was more action oriented than the original. I didn't think there was all that much action at all in the original. Rather I felt there was a strong focus on the girls as characters. Kris´s last blog post > Do You Play Animal Crossing?

@FlyingBlow: To nag or not to nag, welcome back!

Well, later on in the anime, they do get into the “governmental instrumentation of little girls”. While I’ve never read the manga, I’m sure the pages don’t come with an awesome orchestral and melancholic soundtrack, haha. It’s up to you. But Kris-chan should have a better idea of the comparisons.

Seems so! Since playing 1-on-1 is too easy, and playing the offense in 2-on-2 is too quick, I’ve been hanging on the defensive position more. Besides, it still feels good to score from goalie, haha.

Yeah, trolls. I’ve been fortunate to run into them only rarely. But the few times I’ve seen them on SC are pretty bad, especially over-reacting to one of Mimi-chan’s comments. No point in replying to them. But whether they’re on SC or DC or even Angry Mimi, doesn’t mean I shouldn’t exchange feeds with the site either, lol. >_<;

Time to nag for me ^^

I adore the Manga and really,really disliked the Gunslinger Girl Anime.Ive only seen a few epsiodes and i was disappointed that they had cut back on the drama and focused more on the action.
Maybe my first impression is totally wrong but it looked to me more like a girls with guns anime than a drama about instrumentalisation of little kids of the government.
Ill give it another try if you recommend it

You are getting yourself a Foosball reputation eh?
I wonder if you could beat my Mathteacher ^_^

About those Trolls:
They are totally annoying but the worst you can do is to try to discuss with them.Its a total waste of time.
Thats the reason why im not exchanging feeds with SC.Too many trolls are running loose over there.

@Jenn-chan: Ahh, I seeee, the punchlines! Oh well, you’ll manage, lol. That’s the life of an anime aficionado. So many treacherous obstacles!

Nonono, has nothing to do with how easy-hard it is to read. But I just don’t have blocks of hours to devote to pure reading. So it’s just a few minutes in the bathroom or a few moments at my computer, etc. Haha, yeah, I only have a few manga series (like “Battle Angel”, “Hellsing” and most of “Genshiken”). Too expensive! Mind-boggling to calculate $100+ for a full series! Instead, I tend to see a few otaku reading them at the bookstores, hehehe… Ehh, “longcat” or “longtable”, both sound kinda cheesy, lol. But I forgive u. ^_~

@Jay-san: No, really! XD When it's comedy...it's not fun knowing the punchline already, since it's the people who have the joke told to them who laugh. Heh. Manga isn't really hard to read, though, is it? Partly the reason I never really liked collecting it -- finished them so fast. -wry- The foosball table is long, as is longcat. =) Longtable sounds kinda dumb, though, haha. jenn´s last blog post > 10 Promises to my Dog - Time for some J Dorama

@Jenn-chan: Ah, if I loved the “Furuba” anime (5 of 5 stars!), then I’d probably love the manga too! Sadly, time is always against me, lol. Takes months just to read a 100-page book, gahhh… Haha, what? To spoil yourself in the anime, when u already know the manga story! Being too faithful? That’s kinda twisted in an otaku sorta way, lol. So it’s gotta be different, but not *too* different. Come on, Jenn-chan, really?… As for ownership, yeah, the web has made it so blurry it’s getting so difficult if not impossible to track. Artistic inspiration and originality is pretty tough to own or define or separate into clearly-labelled pieces… LOL, but “longcat?” That’s frakkin’ hilarious!!! Even though I don’t get the connection to foosball (or llabsoof), still frakkin’ hilarious! ^o^
