That's supposed to be a GSG adaptation? Yeesh. That girl'd better not be named after any of the actual cyborg girls. I'm gonna hide in my bed when this comes out.

LuniNeko he was joking that crappy movie has nothing to do with GSG. Other than a suppose cyborg girl and guns etc.

Still doesn't even come close to being like GSG.

Ok the Volume 7 I have is the official Japanese one, infact I have all 9 volumes in japanese. I also have the first 6 by ADV in english.

Plus I get each new chapter in japanese as its released. 52 was the last chapter and the new ones come out about once a month. Can't really script it since it's kind of time consuming to translate it and type it up in english.

What happened is I got tired of waiting for the english ones by ADV so I started getting the japanese ones first since they come out in a timely manner. Plus the quality is much better for the paper and printing etc. If you know chinese they are up to number 8, but I only read english and japanese.

As for ADV dropping the series that's all rumors/here say for now. I doubt they gave up on it but who knows if they will take another 2 years to release volume 7. Their was a add for it but no one has a release date, not amazon or anybody as of yet.

Personally volume 7 rocks but 8 and 9 where kind of boring. But 10 is looking good.

if you ever want to translate it i know a lot of people who would like to scanlate it

8 is boring due the lack of first generation gitai (and excessive content of that 'kitten'). How could you find 9 boring, its a tribute volume for Ange!

btw, I have volume 1-8 in Indonesian version. Cant wait for volume 9 release

Lol at that movie. I love how it lists the enemies and weapon.

[dfens]

Volume 9 wasn't really boring it was sad for angelica but I want a little action and gun play.

Least it wasn't like number 8 man I can't believe it was all about petroshuka.

[FRS]

Just finished vol 9 in french i feel bad for Marco but he did get some kind of "salvation" at the end, seeing how the fratello are coping with the death of Angelica it will surely end in fire for Hillshire and Alessandro.

I wonder if the author will use more of the 2nd generation cyborg in the coming chapters, i believe it was the first time we saw them as a group ?

Good lord even as parody this sucks.
I want Ender's Game with more violence and psych, not a wannabe slasher flick.
( But then, it wasn't made for me, and some liked it. )

Is there any reason the sec gen are going toward pure espionage more than antiterror/kill-the-bad-guy?

[X207]

how many chapters have been coverd in the 2 anime seasons up to se2ep5? ive seen se2 ep6 raw and id like to know which chapter it is in.

[dfens]

X207 season 2 jumps all over the place that's why it's confusing. Episode 5 was volume 5 chapter 23, while episode 6 was volume 3 chapter 17.

That's one of the reasons I hate this season it can't even follow a liner time line.

At least we know when it's over it will cover up to the end of volume 5.

o.o yikes, it really jumps areound that much?? i thought the gonzo+RV jumped around alot.

[TigerII]

Yeah Season II had me going wtf.

Spoiler:

=All this talk of how sad angelica's so-long drawn out deterioration...
I just read ch 45. Seems there was a 30-ton antipersonel weapon driven into the compound Social Welfare were guarding. Angelica took the blast. Even if she survives, can she handle being rebuilt one more time?
After Marco praised her in that incident with the bulletproof 'guini (Ferrari?), she made such improvement psychologically. She even began beating her addiction to the mind control drug.


Perhaps it's best she dies in battle...

Spoiler:

Angelica is destined to be like that, no more, no less. Ever since her introduction chapter, she's practically having a rope on her neck. What important is, just like other girls, she received happiness

[X207]

does anyone know which of the manga chapters se2 eps 7-13/current cover? im most likely gonna wath the raws and the corresponding chapters would be useful as they seem to follow the manga pretty damn closely.

[Claes]

Judging from eps 1-5, I think its mainly on Pino's arc (and anything in between it)
That pretty much last half volume 3-volume5

My bad I confused two characters.

[Claes]

OK, what happen in the last chapter (54)? How's Hilscher mission? Did his quarrel with Triella ends?
