We now have some more information about the Gunslinger Girl 2 release that was announced earlier in the week:

The writer of the manga, Yu Aida, has written a comment saying that the new series will cover the so-called “Pinocchio” story arc from the magna (which means nothing to me right now, since I haven’t gotten that far in the manga yet).

Also, the official website has announced that the series will start airing in Spring 2008 (at least now I know what I’ll blog along with Haruhi 2, presumably, in the spring).

Update: One thing I thought about – I’ve already mulled blogging series I own. This would give a great opportunity to blog the first Gunslinger Girls series in the weeks leading up to this being aired. I could do the same for Melancholy too.
