Gunslinger Girl --Il Teatrino-- News

Just how good do you want the quality to be?

This one is better qulity then the last and can be cut out, pasted on white background. Removing the letters will be a bit of work with the color sampler tool, but it's dooable (My avatar had the same thing going on and I had to recreate her legs and the lower part of the violin case using a 1 pixel brush).


p.s. - Here's a thought. I'm no PS pro, but I'm pretty sure you can use the "select color range" optio to wipe out the greens. That will save some work. (Of course everything depends on what you want it for. This one is rather small, so it definitely won't make a wallpaper.)

Goddam, Triela REALLY love the shotgun, no?

God bless America!

Sintendo wrote:Goddam, Triela REALLY love the shotgun, no?

Sure do.

The cleaning business is turning out to be lots of fun and a lot easier then I expected. Redoing the stuff hidden under the letters will be a bit harder. Totoum, do you still want this image? I'll have fun doing it, but if you don't I'll proubably finish coloring another Rico for my avatar first.



[edit] Dumb me, forgot to include the sample (title not removed yet):


[edit] :idea: Or, I could just leave the title in. This one's finished (unless the title is to go).



Zis ok?

Looks like I've got a new wallpaper for my cellphone...

Awsome picture. You got it in a larger size?

It's definitly not just "ok" it's freaking great,thanks a lot,it was simply for an avatar,the title can stay as far as i'm concerned.

Least I could do for our translator.

Danjo, this is as big as it gets without looking fuzzy.

Wow,if that's the least,I really wonder what more you could do

Huh,bad news (well,to me anyway) according to ANN the second season will have 13 episodes,i wanted 26
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=8977&page=25

damn....

I'd rather have 13 episodes than none... ya know?

Quoted for truth.

26 would have been nice, but since the previous one was 13, it was unlikely. I'm still happy with what we got, though.

Woah, don't overdo it.

Obviously I feel the same way... I think... hold on...

...yeah. Same.

You know when I came into this thread I wasn't hungry, but I'm starting to get there. That, and there is this awesome smell.

meh,got all excited over nothing,it's 13 episodes at least,so maybe there's more.

However, you never know what could happen.

After all, Haruhi Suzumiya was only supposed to have one animated season.

But lo and behold fan reaction took over and that as they say, is that.

More like "greedy, money grubbing companies", right?

Haruhi was great, I'll give you that, but it's wasn't the end all of anime. The books are nothing to get a boner over, either. I don't even know WHY it got as famous as it is now.

I agree, Thirteen episodes aren't anything to sneeze at. And look on the bright side, like Boomer siad, maybe it'll be popular enough to warrant an OVA or the like. Thechances of season 3 on TV are pretty low, there aren't too many of those areound, and most of the ideas I can pull off the top of my head are Shonen... which automatically put them on my shit list unless they are awesomem (rare).

I'm very worried they may try for an original ending. Many 2 season anime have gone that route as of later, and most of them do not end very well.

Exhibt A?- ZnT KnK.
If the online summaries of the light novels were anything to go by, Saito's final charge into the horde should have been awesome. Instead I had this bad taste in my mouth. True that it did follow the novel... to a point.
After that I was looking for a plance ticket to japan and a sharpened battle axe. Some people might have like it, but damn that killed the drama.

I have this horrible idea that they try and end the show in this original arc with all the girls dying in this horrible cliche manner for then mainstream audience, leaving dedicated fans punching the compuer monitors in rightous fury an indignation.
If they pull of that shit, I'm really going to Japan with a battle axe, Law degree and Airport security be damned. And I'm betting i waon't be alone either.

OT! :yaay:

well, it did start a faux-religion. and as we all know, anything that gives people rules, gods, and an excuse not to think for themselves tends to get popular fast.

Animator #6: [gets out of car. Looks at the beautiful country side for a moment.]

Person on phone: Is this Animator #6 of Gunslinger Girl?

I doubt they'll kill another girl off, let alone the entire cast. I could be wrong, but I would be surprised.

I doubt it,yu aida's name is all over the place,seems like he has a lot to say in how this anime is going to be done,and I don't think yu would do anything for the mainstream audience when adapting vol 3-5.

It's not the animator's I'll be after, I'll only chase them down if they produce some really crappy looking animation that looks like monkeys drew it. It's the script writer I'll trying to assassinate.

True, true. Many original ends in the past have ended well (see FMA the TV series, the entire second half of it was supposedly original), but with the unsatisying Claymore ending and ZnT FnK's even more unsatisfying one, I can't help but wonder...

If an Original Ending is so unavoidable maybe Aida will do us all a big favor and write one himself so it still has class.

sasahara17 wrote: It's the script writer I'll trying to assassinate.

But yu aida is the screenwriter!So like you said,if there needs to be an original ending,i'd trust him.

But why the need for an original ending in the first place?I think the end of vol5 is just fine.

Totoum wrote:But why the need for an original ending in the first place?I think the end of vol5 is just fine.

I agree. The manga is actually quite neatly divided into sub-arcs, and there are places every now and then that do leave things unfinished, but are decent endings none the less.

If they do an original ending it will be purely for the hype.

Totoum wrote:But why the need for an original ending in the first place?I think the end of vol5 is just fine.

I would be very happy with that, but if I recall correctly, someone in an earlier post had a translation saying the Petra story was going to be included. If this is true, then I have a sinking feeling that 12 of the 13 episodes will be about her. If THAT'S the case, then I'm joining the hit team and head for Japan!

...it was actually just the fact that they have a voice actor in the cast for 'Sandro... Petra isn't mentioned anywhere.

3klicks wrote:If they do an original ending it will be purely for the hype.

That is exactly what I am worried about. Hopefully it will be as you say and they'll end the series at Vol. 5, but previous exprince tells me that there is a good chance they'll shoot for something different.

I've seach this thread and the GG in engrish thread and i can't find it.
Like LoC said,we do know sandro has been cast.However,there's no sign of petra anywhere,not in the VA cast or the sketches shown on the website.
I don't think they'd set up a 3rd season by introducing sandro at the end,because that would kinda force them to do one.Though he could be shown during the series as a new member,with no cyborg,but helping out with the missions.
Like that,if there is a 3rd season he doesn't come out of nowhere like in the manga.

That's actually a good idea Totuum. That could mean 'Sandro had a histroy with the SWA. Maybe the'll have him make a cameo as an Section 1 agenct assigned to help them?

I se a Petra intorcution ending now... after the credist roll past on Triela's final battle against Pinocchio, we arer treated to one final scene. 'Sandro, who by then is a very established character with a season's worth of character development, is taken to a room where his new cyborg is waiting for him. 'Sandro of couse does his 'checking out the assets scene'. Cue Petra (one speaking line, which is 'kyaa!'). She licks 'Sandro in the face, and the screen goes black. The end. Life goes on.

Perfect ending, and it garentees we get at least one OVA.

sasahara17 wrote:That's actually a good idea Totuum. That could mean 'Sandro had a histroy with the SWA. Maybe the'll have him make a cameo as an Section 1 agenct assigned to help them?

Or maybe they'll make him a former member of the support staff - someone like Prissy, Amadeo and Georgio. I used to have this theory that those guys were a bunch of soon-to-be-handlers, still unassigned to cyborgs.

sasahara17 wrote:Perfect ending, and it garentees we get at least one OVA.

Full of sex and death and human grime, in polychrome for one thin dime, and at least the trains'll all run on time, but they won't go anywhere...

I thought 'Sandro was ex-Section One? Oh well, different medium different role. It'll be more reasonable if he starts off on Section Two and is so impressive they give him a promotion of sorts. I've always been under the impression Section One and Two had this rivaly going on, having an agent transfer to become a handler off the bat over seems odd now that you think about it.

Nachtsider wrote:Full of sex and death and human grime, in polychrome for one thin dime, and at least the trains'll all run on time, but they won't go anywhere...

Where'd this come up? I suppose 'Sandro does try and get into Petra's pants a few times (okay alot) and an OVA does have a much righter maturity rating so they might... show stuff... but this seems a bit odd as a reply, Nacht.

It's all in the rhyming value.

apparantly this:



means the first episode will be chapter 12 of the manga.

They open the second season with Kaleidoscope?

How... anti-climatic?

Ahh well, I guess a re-introduction of the characters is needed. That just peans the Pinocchio arc will come sooner.

Sintendo wrote:They open the second season with Kaleidoscope?

Well,it is the first chapter of vol3 afterall but yeah,it definitly won't be as spectacular as opening with henrietta going bezerk.

The first episode of any television show should set the tone of the reat of the series. Perhaps they picked Kaleidoscpoe with the intent of saying 'we want to focus more on the characters' instead of 'this is where we left off, so lects pick up from there'?

I'm talking nonsence, so don't mind me.

Sasahara's post

That's true, and the opening should do the same, but there are surprisingly many anime in which the mood/tone/apperent genre of the opning has nothing to do with the series, and in some cases the first episode is also very inconsistent.

The "pilot episode" ratings often decide whether the show stays on air or not, so writers want to wow the audiance into watching the second episode and often make it into a hook quite inconsistent with the series. [but, this doesn't really apply to GSG, and in this case the berserk Henrietta would seem like the better choice.]

You make good points Klicks. However you have to remember that this is the second season. They've already established what the show is about. At this point it more about pleasing the fanbase you already have happy.

Yeah, but the hard core fans will stay even if you throw crap at them. They will stay all the way, so that they can despair about how horrible it was once it's done. (Not that I thing GSG will turn out anything like this)

You have to give the people who watched the first season and already mostly forgot it a good kick in the ass, so they wake up and say "Hey, that's cool. I remember that show."

Chapter 11 is the Pasta Prince Story, and that wazs already been done. Chapter 12 reintroduces the girls and gives them more interaction. It gives more in their lives, and perhaps a sneak-peek at Beatrice?

I would also think that the majority of people have only seen the anime and not read the manga, so seaon 2 will be all new to them.

Good point. (The manga definitely got less hype then it deserved.)

The manga started selling well when Volume 4 was announe and people wanted to see what all the hub-bub was about.

Also, according to ANN's trivia section: "There will be 13 television broadcast episodes and an additional 2
episodes on the DVD release for a total of 15 episodes for season 2"

Man... makes me want to wait for the DVD eleases. I bet those 2 extra episodes are of Snadro and Petra.

according to this: http://www.fansubwiki.com/Who_Subs_What:_WINTER_2008

shinsen will be subbing,since that's one of the most known groups out there it should be good publicity for GG

going with the whole "puppet" theme,the name of the ED is "doll".

due to recent updates, I'd like to draw attention to an old conversation:

...that's a good question... the time it's supposed to air is listed as "Month/27:00". If you look at some of the other series' listed, they have things like "Water" or "Wood"... (or sometimes just "Saturday"... that one makes sense) instead of "Month"... are we getting into zodiac attributes here?
as for 27:00... joke answer: 0300. tomorrow. but when the time arrives... it's still tomorrow. NUUUUUUUUU!

Those people are workaholics. I wouldn't put days lasting more than twenty-four hours past them.

you were actualy right loc according to someone who i think knows what he's talking about 27h00 is really 3AM of the next day so it'll air tuesday at 3AM.

Not exactly primetime is it?

I'm not suprised. Most major anime air at that time, with very few exceptions (Code Geass is the lates one I can think of.)

It's normal; what kind of otaku would be asleep that early anyways?
