A definite positive for me. The series definitely picks up at this point. Although I kind of wish <span style='color:#dddddd;background:#dddddd'>in the base ball episodes some of them could have worn more risque outfits.</span>

GA doesn't get really, really good till seasons 2 and 3.

Oh, and Mint is PURE EVIL. DO NOT let her fool you.

She. Is. Evil.

Personally, I thought the outfits worked quite nicely. Ranpha and Forte got to show off, for those who go for that sort of thing, while Vanilla, Mint, and Milfie were allowed to maintain their purity. /images/graemlins/catgirl0.gif

Especially Milfie. She's fine just the way she is, yes sir.

[Citizen Klaus]

Super-positive for me. Mint's little acting scene is worth the price of admission all by itself.

Lies! All lies. Everyone knows Mint is an angel. A pure and honest being. I mean the Chicken Costume episode on the first DVD proves it.
I can't believe you would say that about her. /images/graemlins/cry00000.gif

I just wish they would translate some, if not all, of the writing in the OP.

That may be so, but seeing more of Mint would have been great.

Oh, she's evil, all right. But evil in a cute sort of way. Especially in the games. /images/graemlins/happy.gif

Hmm in the words of Cloud "...".

But still isn't a B- a little harsh? It gets a B+ for me.

A positive from me. I love this series, especially since Forte got more time. The gun episode was hilarious. So was the "special service" baseball game - I had visions of Princess 9 when they decided to change tactics, but they managed to go one step better (P9 fans, I mean the game they had to play to get into the league).

[GHardin]

Definite positive from me. I loved this volume....granted, probably not as much as the first volume, but it was pretty good nonetheless. Maybe I'm just easy to please. /images/graemlins/sweat000.gif

[Phil]

Positive for me too. I was kinda dissapointed by the first disk, but now that I understand the flow of the series, I'm appreciating it more.

The space station episode in particularly had me ROTF. And my poor brain continues to be somewhat boggled by Forte's chest. /images/graemlins/stunned1.gif/images/graemlins/noseblef.gif

I've been thinking the same thing. The OP is just so chock full of cultural refereces. A a simple insert, or an extra to explain some of them would be appreciated.

[bakafoo]

Extremely looking forward to this volume now. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Big positive. Interesting that Vanilla says more in the first 5 minutes of this DVD than in the entire first DVD.

Interestingly Vanilla's voice actress in the Japanese version does both Vanila and Normad. In other words Normad is how the voice actress earns her pay.

A postive for me. I'm really enjoying the series, and I really am amused by the characters overall. A good set of episodes, although the kidnapping one was the first episode in the series to leave me cold. It was okay just not up to spec for me.

The M girls rule!

I loved the first volume /images/graemlins/catgirl0.gif. I had to have watched it like 4 times in the first week I got it. The second volume, I've only watched once /images/graemlins/sweat000.gif. I don't know what it is, but this one just didn't grab me. There were some lol moments, ie the ransom episode, but the two Forte episodes are what killed it for me. I'm just not a big Forte fan /images/graemlins/relief1.gif. Oh well, I'm still really enjoying the show, just not as much as before. I'm actually liking the manga a lot more. This gets a solid "B" from me.
