I've wanted to check out Gunslinger Girl for some time now. Thirteen episodes is something I can handle. It's always good to read a few positive reviews y'know.

Pardon the OT-ness, but I get a tad annoyed when people assert or reconfirm their love for fanservice when discussing shows that regarded as thought-provoking or deep. Just doesn't seem necessary to me.

Hey, I cut my teeth on that old crap. 
I'd take KOR any day over any of the "modern" harem genre. I may like some crappy stuff now and then, but KOR is what really brought me into the fold of fandom. It'll always hold a special place in my heart. |

LOL
"when a handful of people shyly sidled up to me later and admitted that they had purposely avoided me the whole convention because they thought I was intimidating, and that I would tear them up." then goes on saying stuff like... "Tastes like: Galveston, TX tap water. For something that’s so damned common and boring to begin with, it sure tastes like shit." you said "shit" online!! WILL SOMEONE PLEASE THINK OF THE CHILDREN!??!??!?! I liked Girls Bravo for some reason....probably because of the fanservices... |

That's another thing the shounen rom-com needs back. A strong-willed, complex female lead like Ayukawa. How many more Chiis, Miharus and Rens will we have to sit through?

to be fair I did like the first season of girls bravo but the second season took the humor into borderline Hentai zone at that point why bother having a pretext of a plot and just make it into a hentai already. ie ep1's of season 2's spoiler[ body swapping and the tentacles ] |

 I like AIC as they have in the past made some really good series, Like Megazone 23, El Hazard, Ah My Goddess, Bubblegum Crisis, and their real jewel in their crown Tenchi Muyo OVA's But sometimes they can also drop some real stinkers. Girl's Bravo is a prime example of what that article in Business Week was on about when they wrote about studios wasting their potential.

Yeah, I remember that one. That's as borderline as they make it though. Besides, Fukuyama seems to have started developing a little more depth and personality, which makes watching the series a little bit more interesting. |

My excuse was that I didn't realize who you were in while you were in the Bandai Katsucon Panel. (I think you were cosplaying Ling Xiayou that day, come to think of it.) Plus, I was busy getting free w00t at the end, so I was a wee bit distracted. However, now that I kinda know what you look like from the front AND back, I might be able to spot you (especially if I look at your laptop.) if you ever come to Tekkoshocon (if Tekkoshocon ever gets industry guests.) |

Yeah, I definately saw you there. Of course, it's always hard to put names to faces when you don't know what they look like in the first place<G> Not to mention I've only recently gotten more into the forums.
Oh, and Bamboo, you are a very, very nice person<G> |

Hmm... that may not have me then. I had on an EGL-type dress at the Bandai panel, all black with red ribbons in my hair. Maybe there's some mysterious Asian girl masquerading as me. 
See, haha, all of these comments raise a good point. I could've sworn I'd posted my picture before somewhere, but I guess I didn't. So naturally, people wouldn't know what I look like. ;p Not to mention I've showed up to cons late twice in a row (and missed the ANN panel twice in a row now). GO GO BAMBOO! |

Well, I thought you were in the front row, left side (the one without the projector in front of it), your compy was set to ANN (I thought) and you were wearing pigtails. At least, that was what I thought was presented to be you. For some reason, I remembered some sort of neon colors, too, so my mind jumped to Ling. Of course, that idea only came up within these last few days.

There must only be a handful of people who like Girls Bravo (myself included). I saw this and DearS on fansubs, and GB is easily better. It's a very fun series that's light-hearted and has charm. Very far from being a terrible show. If you want a bad Geneon release, try Tokyo Underground. |

I'll give you one worse than that: Ikki Tousen.

but who am I kidding, no one likes old crap anymore. Sure, Kyosuke was a Milquetoast ass like the rest of 'em, but he only had two girls to pick from, and he tried soooo damn hard. *emo tear*
