It, however, a welcome surprise. And honestly, I have to give it up to Ms. Kittredge for sticking it out in the name of academia, because Gunslinger Girl is not good. Say what you will, the girl assassin archetype is exciting. The juxtaposition of body-revealing violence and girls-only intimacy provides a wider range of erotic stimulation. Gunslinger Girl is careful to code its lolicon imagery in ways that untrained eyes can easily miss.
I wrote a rather detailed post about some themes I discerned in the Read or Die manga. May you enjoy the post linked to below! A reader requested that I review some volumes of the Rurouni Kenshin manga. Yes, I could not resist using the word antepenultimate. Now appears a good moment to look back on the series and why I enjoy it so much. This manga is such a delight that I obtained the complete series in the original language in order to translate it from the original.
Most people don't see Gunslinger Girl as amazing anymore then when it first came out, especially people thought it was a deconstruction of Lolicon shows. Generally I watch dubs. Which is kind of a shame, because I really enjoyed this show and it might have been better remembered if it got a wider release.
