One of the biggest problems I have with Gunslinger Girl is the handling of Pinocchio, Franco, Flanca, and Christiano. I feel like these characters had so much potential and could've been more involved with the manga as the series progressed.

Christiano seemed to be a looming bigger antagonist close to the beginning of the show. He did even make an appearance, in that museum, giving out orders and such. I kind of wanted to see him become this really bad thorn in the Agency's side, escaping their grasp in Milan without becoming paralyzed, and continuing to lead the effort to gain a free northern Italy by doing whatever he deemed necessary.

Franco, and Flanca especially, made quite the impression in the first season. I would even go so far to say the roles they would play in the second season were subtly hinted at.

They became leading antagonists in the second season. They were given backstories, they were given action on camera. They proved themselves to be quite the threat. And even away from the frontlines, I saw there was more to them than just extreme political ideology and motivation. They depended on each other, cared about each other. Franco said so himself, Flanca gave him purpose (a messed up purpose, at that) in his life when he hit rock bottom. I'm pretty sure that feeling, on some level, was mutual. They almost destroyed an entire bridge. If they survived, they could've done some actual damage, to Italy and possibly the Social Welfare Agency on a personal level.

(Maybe we could've gotten an arc where Marco comes face-to-face with Flanca. She was the one that got Patricia to date him in the first place. Now THAT would've been something. :))

And last but not least, Pinocchio. BOY, if there was ANYBODY I felt upset about going, it would be him. This kid was trained for years to become a lethal assassin. No cybernetics, no programming. Just all work and no play. He had come the closest out of anybody to actually killing one of the Agency's cyborgs. One of their best ones, in fact.

And as much as I love Triela, now that I think about it, I wanted Pino to win that fight in the mansion. It would be super cool to see a cyborg get demised, and see how the Agency, how Hilshire, would react to it. I mean, Pino wouldn't get out of there alive, realistically speaking, his father figure's house was literally surrounded, and there were agents who were set up to shoot down any escaping vehicles.

But still, my point stands.

And if Pino got lucky and escaped, I would be somewhat content of his and Triela's antagonistic relationship developing further, maybe into some form of mutual respect for each other.

...the former route's better tho XD

THESE guys should've gotten more attention. THEY should've gotten more development. Not the Petrushka/Alessandro fratello. XP

October Terror Story #07 The world to reverse.

by Robert Fenner

The world to reverse. Get it here

Translated by my buddy satsu, The world to reverse. is a duo of micro visual novels by the doujin circle 17. The first, Hallucinate, takes place in a hospital bed where the injured protagonist is repeatedly visited by a girl in white, hatred burning in her eyes. Initially bleak, who she is and what she wants will only be discovered by the adventurous.

The second work, Flanca, is a period piece set in Europe during an ambiguous time. Our protagonist is a young boy who meets another boy behind an opera house, and is invited to watch the boy perform in a girl's role. You can accept or refuse his offer, and every point of your brief adventure branches off in one of two directions...usually leading to unpleasant ends.

The world to reverse. is such a brief experience, and such a powerful, uncompromising one at that, that I am loathe to say more about it. Please see it for yourself; both stories can be finished within an hour.

When I saw this as the thumbnail for season 2 episode 12 of GSG, I honestly thought what was in Flanca’s hand was a PAD, not a goddamn patch for Franco’s wound OMFG 

(Shut up, me.)

I think we can all agree that I need help. And some holy water. 

Anyway, this was supposed to be more or less an appreciation post, but I fucked that up. Please enjoy a more innocent-looking picture of Christiano and Pinocchio. 

This scene was sad. What else is new in GSG?
