Comments on: Red Garden - Dead Girls http://psgels.blogsome.com/2008/10/08/red-garden-dead-girls/ An anime blog covering a large variety of series, both popular and underrated.

What an absolute piece of (storytelling) shit! Yeah, the action, the animation, and visual aspect of "Dead Girls" was amazing, but it paid no respect to the storyline. Absolutely pointless and more mind-boggling than anything else. They should've just left the series where it was...no need for a shitty, cop-out episode for fan-service.

It's actually a happy ending, isn't it? The girls have no memory of their past lives which is actually a good thing when you think about it, knowing what made them the way they are and remembering all that they left behind may be depressing for them. Everyone is reincarnated and they try and live their lives as they want... So overall, I was happy with this OVA, it shows that the girls remain friends, forever and almost everyone is happy. So for me, it was a decent sequel, the only thing I STILL don't understand is why Lise returned as an android.

Maybe they'll explain more of the series in the manga, I still haven't been able to see any online scanlations of the manga, even in 2009. Why is it that only Herve and Lise changed names? Because they died? If that is the reason then, the officers and Lula should have also changed names.. Then again, they didn't really mention their names.. (;u3u) It was also funny how they suddenly got good with singing, and also the fact that Kate made the song~♪! XD And wasn't it 300 years later? (;o_O) Oh, right.. the manga.

I loved the series and the OVA too, but (as always there is one) I want to read the manga. I need it to understand better the story because I found it fascinating. Hope someone can help me with the last! ^_^ The whole concept of Red Garden is just amazing, that is because to a certain extent it even creates an illusion of reality.

I think a large part of that had to do with the recording order, so I give props for that. And I think Sawashiro did a good job as Shinkurou, but that’s because my bias is showing again.

Also, its hinted that the island/garden is still in its current state for supernatural reasons (thus developers being unable to build anything new there.) I enjoyed this OVA quite a bit. If anything I always thought the series contained a lot of vague or unexplained elements, so I'm not surprised that theme continues here.

The anime was really good but the OVA was just a disaster. Dead characters are supposed to stay dead! lol... it's so silly. My mind had a hard time adjusting to the fact that Edgar (Herve? Name change huh) is alive, and Louise is alive. Gonzo decided to kill Rachel's ex instead (forgot his name, dude with purple hair). Like you have already mentioned, there were many unanswered questions. I'd have to add, why was the Island shaking at the end? Why were the couple engulfed in the flowers? Why did butterflies suddenly appear only on the island? Enough with complaints now, I do have good things to add =D I liked how the characters turned out to have totally different personalities compared to the anime. Claire is so sexy! Rose finally got to be popular :p Rachel got to be the tomboy now and Kate is "wow". Someone added some pepper n salt on Kate! Anyways, I'll pretend I've never seen this OVA haha. *watches red garden episode 1, again* I was really disapointed with this OVA. The anime was really good but the OVA was just a disaster.

I would have loved them to actually attempt to explore the insides of the old school, or *something* that would have led them to understand that they might have a connection with the people around them (or, at least, their reincarnations).

I didn't really enjoyed it like I expected I would( cause i loved the series).

Can't say that I love it but it was cool/funny to see how much people "change". On another note the futuristic weapons and transportation device was cool but the mecha was totally useless!

I would have loved to see more of the chemistry between the characters, and would really pay to watch a second season of Red Garden, even if it's just the about the Dead Girls and their various bounty-hunting lives. I'm sad that this seems to be the end of that story, and a fairly disappointing end at that. I was really looking forward to this one too, being a huge fan of Red Garden when it came out.

Must have made a mistake on that one. But then again, the only source that claims 24 episodes is MyAnimeList, which is a very unreliable source on these kinds of things.
