We had an expression in the Corps: "The only thing faster than light is gossip in the Marine Corps."

By this definition, the SWA is on some Quantum-tier gossip action.

Elsa, why not? Open a Twitter account and drop Aida a hint in the comments section. Although English comments seem rare I see Robert Frazer commenting on Yu's art from time to time.

Er, ok...... (never been on Twitter, I'll give it a try) Embarassed

Maybe I'll use that Google translator program or maybe I'll just try to keep the message simple: ' Great art Mr.Aida, please draw Elsa in Goth! Oh yeah, and draw the greatest KICK-ASS COOL DUDE this side of the universe: L A U R O O O O !!!! Harimas.......' $dancin\\'$
(Um, or maybe I'll just say 'Very nice.') lolz....
Also on that last picture of Henrietta, when did she start to grow um, 'boobies'?! Guh?

Wasn't there a thread where we discussed cyborgs being aged artificially? Perhaps that was indeed what happened, or these man-made components can mimic the body's natural growth function. Either that or Mr. Aida was just speculating how'd she look if she were older. Who knows.

That's not Henrietta it's a character from IdolM@aster.

The comments announce the release of Volume 14 (on the 17th of December)...frankly I think Rico looks a bit cheerful considering the events of those chapters.

by Schaschanist Fri 28 Oct 2011 - 17:13

The Rico-Figurine-Sketch looks nice, but i'm still waiting for the other one, the Claes-Figurine-Sketch to be made into a real Figurine.
( Cleas is becoming my favorite cause she looks alot like my OC Emilie. )

If i had the Money i would buy them all, Claes, Rico, Henrietta Triela and Angelica.

A Dante figure would be cool, me thinks. Hmm...

I second Danjo3's comment, Rico does indeed look cute, although albeit a bit under fed for my taste.
If I were her handler, I'd be like: 'C'mon Rico, you mean to tell me you already quit after only your fourth serving of baby back ribs with extra barbecue sauce? Lookit, you even you got it all over yer face!
No problem, we'll just wash that down with a nice big bowl of clam chowder!
Rico: uh....uh.... Sad

:
*I take a spoonful and feed it to her pretending it's a plane making engine sounds*
'Oh oh look, it's Dante and he's gonna attack the agency!
Quick, eat him all up! Annrooowwrr!'
Rico: *gulp* 'burp, Oohhhh...... I don't feel so goo-'
*makes a mad dash for the ladies room, but vomits along the way, leaving a trail and making other cyborg girls nearby shriek an jump as they get splashed* Yuck!

Jean: What the hell Treme, I asked you to cover me for a day and you're already stuffing her like a Thanks Giving Day Turkey!

tremec - she looks like a pretty regular eleven year old girl to me.

The possibility is that the Rico depicted here is one from a happier time. Or one who's aware she's a character in a comic book, and is breaking the fourth wall.

lol You're probably right Nacht, don't mind me,
I'm starting to think I'm subconsciously projecting myself
onto my fanfiction world a tad too much. Embarassed

Also, I dig what you said, about Rico "breaking the fourth wall". I like that, that's cool!
In that sense, one can picture her speculating about folks like us looking at her as a person in another dimension.
(hell, that's a fan fiction story waiting to happen, if it hasn't occurred already)
That statement reminds me of Michio Kaku's book: Hyperspace. head bang

frankly, if I had that kind of disposable income, I'd spend on Triela, Claes, and Petra figures. but since I don't...

by maverick375 Sun 30 Oct 2011 - 12:41

Personally, I could envision a Petra figure pretty well. A "look over shoulder" pose with her Spectre in her left hand and a pair of sunglasses in her right as if they were just removed. A smile and a maybe a wink. I'm tossed up between her suit and a more casual jeans and crop-top.

by **Nachtsider** Sun 30 Oct 2011 - 13:54

Jeans. No-brainer. It would allow for a 'dat ass' moment.

But she also doesn't fit neither Chiara, the 1st gen of the bell tower fight, nor the black haired 2nd Gen who has alot shorter, tousled hair.

Well, Kisk, it is Eri Mizutani from Idolmaster.

Yeah, thats Chiara on the right. Next to her is Sylvia, only one who enetered the battle with an axe....why the hell that was needed...,

Well, when he likes Idolmaster that much, why then.he does not bring out an Idolmaster-Gunslinger Girl crossover like he the pics he os posting?
I'm sure this series would get at least as popular as GSG or Idolmaster separately....or even more popular.

I'm guessing the axe was to help break open the tower doors if requried.

I don't know how big the Japanese are for crossovers (someone?), as to why not: I imagine it could be released as a doujin, however as a commercial release I think there'd be a few IP laws getting in the way. Unfortunately, though GSG seems to have a steady readership, as far as commercial oomph goes it plays a distinct second fiddle to things like, say, Bleach. In other words, it's probably not the sort of thing other authors/producers are going to be fighting with each other to get on the same bandwagon with.

by maverick375 Sun 25 Dec 2011 - 13:44

I'm guessing the axe was to help break open the tower doors if requried.

That is a form of Halligan tool. They vary slightly between manufacturers, but they consist primarily of a long bar with a forked end for prying, and the other a flat, wedge or straight adze blade on the other. Some have a spike as well. The Halligan was designed by a NYC firefighter in the 1940's for tearing down doors, windows, whatever was in the way. It's essentially a general purpose destruction tool, though it doesn't necessarily have the weight to do a lot of blunt-force damage like a fire axe. Most are a single, forged piece made of tough alloys. While not as much fun as a ram or det-cord, most counter-terror squads would probably have one in the field box, and it makes a good precision entry tool, something you'd want if storming a national landmark.

Hmmmm.... cross overs.
My mind runs with several possibilities as to who the fratellos could be coupled with.
(for that matter, what villains could be paired up with the terrorists)
Ahh, I can only imagine....
