Gunslinger Girl – Il Teatrino ~ Opening 1
tatta hitotsu no omoi ~ KOKIA

So I’ve finally gotten around to finishing off Gunslinger Girl: Il Teatrino. The first opening, as seen above, is purely epic. It has a nice grounding effect with regard to the ridiculously brutal extreme that GSG took the ‘girls with guns’ theme to – the real-world images merging with the series’ theme is simply delicious. Il Teatrino mainly revolves around Triela, rather than Henrietta. Plot’s fairly decent; the only real hole is how cybernetically enhanced killing machines are capable of having issues dealing with a human assassin. Like the first season, Il Teatrino is filled with plenty of pure WTF moments – this time mostly revolving around the origins of the girls.

All in all a worthy successor to the first season. Then again, I’m a sucker for anything that takes an overly cutesy theme and twists it into something grim and dark. :p

In other news, I’ve gotten around to finishing the conversion from Drupal to WordPress. That was easy(tm). WordPress, frankly, owns the living crap out of Drupal in terms of running a blog. Granted, Drupal can do so much more, but, well – I’m running a blog here. WordPress > Drupal for this use case. The right tool for the job, and all that.

Still have some stuff to work out, mostly revolving around comments and image positioning in posts.
