Product: Gasaraki: Volume Two - The Circle Opens (1998)
Rating: 4.0
The war is in full swing
The war in Belgistan explodes in a violent eruption as the UN Forces launch a final offensive against the capital. Giant robots face giant robots for the 1st time as Yushiro and the girl that haunts his dreams meet on the battlefield. The JSSDF, the UN, the media, and opposing armies are pitted against each other as the puppetmasters of Symbol fan the flames of war into a conflagration that threatens to engulf the world. Something is amiss in Belgistan. It seems that this war was tailor made for some hidden purpose.This volume is much better that the 1st. There is more action and drama. The story is also starting to make more sense . Even though much is still very unclear, this series is pretty intriguing. I am starting to enjoy Gasaraki, but it is a long way from being anything akin to a great anime series.
