That is....
A few weeks back, Nana posted about the new season of Gunslinger Girl. Well, Nana has watched the first three eps and now will tell of her experience.

First off, it must be known that none of the original team is on this project. Not even the voice actors are the same.

This season is the Pinnocio arc that is manga vol 3-5. Also Ange is alive and kicking. She can be seen briefly in ep two. It follows the manga fairly close, deviating in a few places. Most recent is ep 3, where Triela and her handler are at a cafe having a friendly conversation.
The biggest concern everyone Nana knows has, it the fact that the art is much more cookie cutter than the beautiful stuff from season one.
Again, Nana will bring up Henrietta since she was adorable enough in S-1. From her voice work to her look, she felt more innocent than she does in the new season.

Now the second season

Now, in S-2, Etta sounds and looks more cute than the innocence that really made her character.

While Nana is going to probably watch the whole season, she will say this to those who are considering. Season two is passable and could get good, but if you are looking for the true Gunslinger Girl experience, stick with season one and the manga.

Though Nana gives props to Kokia and her Opening and Lia and the closing. Nana finds them really good.

Next up is the Honey and Clover Live Action. Nana loved the anime so she figured she'd check out the LA version. It is quite a different take, to say the least. One big difference Nana noticed, is Rika is not a cripple. Also the music is not the whole indie scene that the anime had. It's more strings and winds.

Then there is american TV. Last night Nana watched a movie by John August (Big Fish, Corpse Bride) called The Nines. It's a great movie, but will make you go "Huh?" once in a while. But it's all good.
