The music in Shadow of the Colossus was awesome. Something to look forward to, even if they changed all of the seiyu.

by Sintendo Wed 14 Nov 2007 - 15:44

Imagine the possibilities!

by LoC978 Wed 14 Nov 2007 - 15:47

...
*is totally lost among the list of names, but excited that progress is being made on season 2*

and yeah, after listening to that symphonic piece you linked to... that composer is badass at totally epic music. I hope he does as well for calm/happy/sad moments.

by Sintendo Wed 14 Nov 2007 - 16:01

You bet your ass he can.

Double dose of the fluff, just for you guys.

by sasahara17 Wed 14 Nov 2007 - 16:41

I guess we can be looking forward to one hell of an OST then. Anyone have any takes on the Voice Actors or the Staff? I can't recognize any names.
I even went to Anime News Network (which I rarely ever frequent) and looked at the VA profiles. *grumble* Don't recognize any of them OR their works. No idea what to expect...
Wait... izzat Shiraishi?
WTF MINORU SHIRAISHI?
Ooooookay! I think I have a whole new reason to watch this *chuckle*
EDIT - What just happened to my post?

by Sintendo Wed 14 Nov 2007 - 16:43

All i know of the new season's cast is that the woman voicing Claes did Elanora's voice for the 1st season... :|

by sasahara17 Wed 14 Nov 2007 - 17:54

Minoru Shiraishi was the ONLY reason I sat though the horror that was Lucky star. The last two minutes of every episode from thirteen onwards made the show. This man can 'sing'.

wa-wa-wa-wasuremono, ore-wa wasuremono...

hahahaha... this man is gold. Can't wait to see 'Sando.

by **Nachtsider** Wed 14 Nov 2007 - 19:39

Those names in the credits don't hold any significance to me, but I trust the judgement of those more knowledgable than myself.

by **ElfenMagix** Wed 14 Nov 2007 - 22:19

I hope they dont ruin it like some squeals do.
Sounds to me, the girls are going to be aged a bit if they are going to use Elenora's voice on Claes.

I know it's just plain mean to point out typos, because lord knows how many mistakes I make on a daily basis, but this one had me roffling....

I need to stop checking my email...

Looks like I might be eating crow after all about the cyborgs growing up. I'd best get ready my George Foreman.

Sounds delicious. Mind if I join you? (I have a bias against the growing up theory, too, if ya hadn't noticed... after all, my OC is six years old)

by **Nachtsider** Wed 14 Nov 2007 - 22:44

I noticed all right, LoC (shakes your hand). And feel free to attend my grill parties any time. You might want to bring the humble pie, hat stew and dirt sandwiches while you're at it.

I would not worry about it so much. We'll just have to wait to see what happens.

Loc: When are you updating yours? I like it, reminds me on Young Angie when she joined.

by Wileama Wed 14 Nov 2007 - 23:05

well I have to admit those names don't really mean much to me. Until you mentioned Haibane Renmei though. That show was awesome.

I take it this Elenora is on the older side. I've heard Mark Hamill voice a child recently. What ever the case if they are grow up I'll be one of the guests at Nachtsider's party for sure.

There's no telling. Inspiration comes in spurts for me, and since my last update I've just been fleshing out my outline and researching tech. My next chapter will come when it comes, unfortunately.

Wileama wrote:I take it this Elenora is on the older side

you are correct sir:

Who would've thought 'Skywalker' Hamill would have done such a chillingly marvelous job at voicing the Joker...

He's Luke Freaking Skywalker.

HE PLAYS WITH YOUR HEAD.

by Wileama Thu 15 Nov 2007 - 0:33

I wasn't pay attention, and thought you where referring to a voice actress named, Elenora. Completely forgot the name of that character.

Discovering Mark Hamill was a voice actor, surprised me. Even more so when I discovered he was the joker.

Topic: Season 2 official site is up

Marvelous. We really should drag Balade over here.

I'm looking at those character sketches right now. Anyone think they've grown?

Henrietta looks like she's the shortest one, as Angie looks like she's grown up a bit.

also, going by this:

It looks like I get my wish, it's going to be volumes 3-5! :faint:

yes it looks like they haven't grown! No embarrassing meals!

Marco seems to have grown, too. I always thought he was shorter than Jean, Giuseppe and Hillshire.

Looks like I'll be lowering my color-coded embarassing meal threat advisory scale down to blue-green.

huh.. that is strange... looks like the handlers aren't the size I thought they were...
Giuseppe= a little shorter than Jean... but pretty well medium
Marco= biggest, meanest hombre
Jean= almost the same size as Marco, but thinner and colder
Hillshire= shortest (odd, for a German), skinniest, most timid?!

I always thought of Hillshire as the tallest of 'em...

by **Nachtsider** Thu 15 Nov 2007 - 13:47

So did I, actually. I mean, look at Episode Four - he was definitely taller than Giuseppe there, if only by a few inches. And, if I remember correctly, Giuseppe and Jean are about the same height.

by **ElfenMagix** Thu 15 Nov 2007 - 16:08

Definately, though it looks like he's aging the handlers by various criteria. Some guys bulk out, like Marco is here. Others thin out, say, like Hillshire.

I agree. They seem to have them all turned around. Kind of a WTF type situation.

by **rusty-spring** Thu 15 Nov 2007 - 22:12

Well in the manga they seem to have gotten bigger over time, however this is just concept art (or at least looks like it.) Perhaps their eyes will be tamed by time the actual anime rolls around.

by Wileama Thu 15 Nov 2007 - 22:58

reminds me of a generic anime rpg: Big Eyes, Small Mouth!

They're eyes were always big, compared to the other characters, including other children.

sasahara17 wrote:Is it just me, or are the girl's eyes really big?

...they were always that big in the anime, I think. not necessarily in the manga, though.

I played BESM star wars a couple times before I discovered the D20 edition...

by Wileama Fri 16 Nov 2007 - 10:51

hmm, I suppose. I used BESM once for a star craft game. I was the siege tank. Very Happy

Unfortunately we where use to D&D battles, and our gm tried to adjust the battles to get those results. So my tank ended up exploding. I had a chance to escape, but instead decided to blast the enemy, whom it turned out only I could hurt. Once I blew him off his catwalk, the firebat was all over his ass. So noble sacrifices are cool.

Man... Yu's going to use the current manga's artstyle, isn't he?

Oh well, it's his decision, not mine Sad

As long as Rico still has this WILD HAIR, I'm fine.

EDIT: Also, the voices aren't too shabby. It's early work, though, and there a lot of room for improvement untill the Spring season.

The eyes are pretty big in the anime too: Gunslinger Girl --Il Teatrino-- News 1000000kz2

In the scan above Claes, and Triela's eyes seem normal, and Rico's are larger then usual for the manga. Either because she's happy or it's just inconsistency.

Sintendo wrote:As long as Rico still has this WILD HAIR, I'm fine.

Gotta love that messy hair. ...Although she seems a bit un-Rico-ish in that one.

LoC978 wrote: It looks like I get my wish, it's going to be volumes 3-5! :faint:

It would be weir otherwise, series ended about episode 3.

As for the growing part, I don't know about all the behind the scenes speculation, but in the manga it says that a year has passed and right on que the girls seem taller.

Oh, and Triela and Rico seem to be growing up. Triela... well just look, and Rico's figure is changing.

Gunslinger Girl --Il Teatrino-- News Growcr8

by **ElfenMagix** Sat 17 Nov 2007 - 17:05

Rico's has grown as I have stated in The Cyborgs Are Growing thread.
As for Triela, she's always has had boobies, I would dare say the begining, but she is filling up. It seems that her and Claes are the oldest girls to be turned cyborg until Petrushka came along. BTW, Claes also has boobies... But who's counting?

It's japanese comic medium (cause it's easier to display emotions with bigger eyes). Eyes are ALWAYS gonna be big. Laughing
