Gunslinger Girl Il Teatrino. klux looks. Ningyo = doll, NOT Ning-Yo. Will miss you Weng.

Once again will have to thank Yi. Why? 4 words… Gunslinger Girl Il Teatrino. I’ll also be borrowing a few ‘BAMS’ from Glo. -.-“

Gunslinger Girl Il Teatrino

It took a few episodes, but I finally managed to dwell myself into the anime. By then, the “lower” quality animation no longer has a hold on me. instead I got more interested in the story played each episode. Feeling swill reach you with certainty at the end of each episode. Only question is how much?

Unfortunately for me, not much. Or rather, not enough. Yes, I did feel a bit of sorrow and despair; The thirst for affection and love; and many other emotions; How the girls see and tried to understand the relationship between them and their handlers. And at times, the rest of the world.

But it wasn’t anything new for an anime. Any anime fan would have already experienced all above mentioned emotions plenty of times from different series. So, I sat through episodes 1 to 12, juggling between na 3-Stars and 4-Stars rating.

3-stars because it did felt like any other anime out there, almost a little “Myeh…”

4-Stars because I was enjoying the anime and it did bring about a diverse set of emotions.

Then episode 13 came…
BAMM! Franco, Franca, Christiano.
BAMMM BAMM! Triela Vs Pinnochio.
BAMMM BAMM and BAMMMx5! This song started playing.
Human by Lia

5-Stars, no question asked. Episode 13, the final episode itself brought the whole series into conclusion. It was not great, not awesome but it was beautiful. Yes… beautiful would be a good word for the anime. It’s not about guns and the action. It never has been for il Teatrino.

Now, I’m actually glad that I dropped it last time. Knowing myself, I would surely dislike the anime if I actually did completed it previously, being the shounen fan that I was.

And the music fits in with the anime like peanut butter on bread. Every (or most) episode starts with a short scene of the past. The scene is framed with surrounding black borders and blended in faded sepia.

Here, viewers gets a glimpse of a character’s history. Upon understanding a little of where they came from, the opening theme starts.

Tatta Hitosu no Omoi

After the theme leaves an impact, the episode continues. Etc. etc. etc. Viewers gets a feast on emotions. And the episode ends with yet another beautiful aspect of the series, the ending theme.
Doll by Lia

The episodes were excellently laid out. the script was well-written. It wasn’t anything eye-popping but it knew what it wanted to do and focused well on it. And the storytelling was slow and steady. Thinking about it now, every aspect of il Teatrino was hell-bent on conveying heart wrenching notions to viewers. Oh what the heck! This should have been a 5-Stars from early on.

Oh! And guess what guys! No fillers *thumbs up* Surprisingly.

So, Klux was wondering how I think she looks like. Well, it’s a little hard since I’ve seen a picture of her somewhere. Xp
So any image I have of her has definitely been influenced. But still, I wanted to give it a try. Turned my brain off for a minute, Power it back up the next. Immediately think ‘klux’ and ‘face’ and voila. An image popped right in.

Cal from Phantom

This is how I would have thought she looks like if I have not seen her picture.
But if I take her real looks into consideration, I would choose the following instead.

Yomiko from R.O.D.

Call me slow or whatever, But listening to the above song, Doll by Lia countless times had me realize that Ningyo’s alias actually meant human doll. Woah!! *enlightened*
Having finish Gunslinger Girl, I’m really wondering what reasons compelled him to chose such a nick. The thing was, I’ve always think of Ning-Yo (as in a regular name) instead. Lol.

Sorry for being missing for the past week. One of my closest friend past away. Been like a brother to me for the past 19 years. He is only freaking 29! Was already engaged and holding the wedding ceremony in March 2010. Had so many thing going for him.

Fark the world!

I didn’t feel like blogging. Or doing anything for that matter. All the crying has made my throat hurt, my head hurt, my eyes hurt, my nose hurt, but nothing can compare to how much my heart hurts.

Fark you Weng, for making me cry like a bitch… In farking public at that.
Fark you, for now making this post sound cheesy!
Fark you Weng, for leaving without even saying goodbye!
