A "Best of the Year" review that doesn't so much as mention Gunslinger Girl? Clearly, critical relevance has left the building.

Mmmm, shame the Best ever Death Scene wasn't put in spoiler[] tags. This volume of Chrono Crusade has yet to be seen in the UK so far. Apart from that little cock-up a great part II.

The lack of spoiler tags on Chrono Crusade actually wasn't a mistake. It was a deliberate decision agreed upon after discussion with the editors. My apologies if this spoiled anything.
Depends entirely on who you talk to, I guess. While I did eventually come to agree that Gunslinger Girl was a good series, it wasn't a stand-out in any particular category on the level of the other titles listed. Certainly wasn't the equal of Elfen Lied or GITS: SAC on artistry or technical merits and couldn't match Koi Kaze on storytelling. (At least not in my view, anyway; mileage may vary.) |

Well, those of you who've been around these forums a bit know what 2005's big story was in my book, and I want to thank ANN's staff (particularly Miss Bamboo) for bringing me in as a "guest speaker" in the Tenchi Muyo 3rd OAV special.

Yeah, it always does when it comes to questions of subjective quality. I love Gunslinger Girl; I consider it a work of great subtlety and beauty, and I think it exceeds the merits of the other titles you named by a considerable margin. To me, last year's releases divide neatly into two categories: GG, and everything else. But that's just one man's opinion. And my smart remarks aside, it was a good article otherwise. |
