Let it never be said that I don't acknowledge good work. In this case, I refer to FUNimation's recent release of Gunslinger Girl on DVD. First of all, allow me to congratulate them on being one of the only anime companies capable of hiring competent people to QC their English scripts, because the subs were nicely readable and free from the typos that plague the industry. The timing of the subs and the other aspects of the disc (video and audio) were also quite nice.
I happened to buy the limited release that came with the box and cloth poster, and while I'm probably not pedo enough to hang the poster up, it was still pretty neat. The box is also top notch; nice and sturdy, unlike some of the other ugly thin shit to come out recently (Narutaru comes to mind).
The only overt problem I could find with the release without looking too hard was the bizarre inconsistency in Henrietta's handler's name between the back of the DVD case (Jose) and the actual subs (Giuse), and even I have to admit that that's nitpicking a little.
In short, I can honestly recommend that you buy this series now that it's available. The fact that they made this a 3 disc release for all 13 eps instead of the 4 disc release that is so common is just another plus to throw onto the pile.

Gunglinger Girl 12 is released. And, for the first time in this series, there's over half an episode of pure unadulterated action! Oh yeah, there's also a bitch slap that's to die for but whatever. Enjoy this episode!

Tonight we are proud to bring you Gunslinger Girl 10, part one in a two part story arc. There's not really a cliffhanger at the end of this ep, though, so don't be afraid to watch it.
Be sure to check out the notes section for a bit of clarification on the episode.

GSG10 will not be released until after January 28th.
Sorry for making everyone wait. We had too much stuff to eat and drink for christmas. GSG8 is out now, more background, new girl, and the usual good stuff that we watch GSG for.
GSG9 will not air until January 14th.
Ok first to make this clear: Yes we are working hard on Episode 8, don't get your panties in a knot.
Now on to the real news: I hate Japanese television stations. They seem to not notice how much they're pissing me off lately by stretching the time between episodes of this series. Yes I'm quite accustomed to the 2 weeks an episode routine, but guess what? They're airing episode 9 on the-wait for it-JANUARY 14, 2004! As much as I like to watch GSG on my b-day I prefer watching the last episode on that day. Oh and another thing, January 14 also happens to be a week before my midterms. OH HAPPY FUCKING DAY! Not only do I get to work on an ep that should've aired 3 weeks ago but I'm reading my 900-page physics book at the same time! I LOVE YOU FUJITV! FUCKING COCKS.
I hate Japan.
Today class we're on a field trip to the Art Museum! Watch as Rico lays the smack down on the art world.
