Eda's fine, but she's not as much of an action girl as Revy, Roberta and Shenhua. Don't get me wrong she's deadly as fuck, but Roberta would break her in two and they're both equally as smart. It's an acquired taste. I like her backstory and how she's more human than she actually lets on.
That's because they truncated a big ass arc into what 4 episodes? I read the manga version of it and thought it was paced a lot better than the OVA's and yes I prefer her first arc as well so I'm not arguing with that assessment. I think Roberta hid a lot of her actual personality and there are soft parts to her, just not portrayed that often do to the nature of the show itself. She likes being a maid and yeah she's crazy as fuck in Blood Trail. The show is always at its best when it's a good mix of darkness and humor or when it slows itself down a bit and lets the characters be characters. It took me my second view to really appreciate the Tokyo arc cause it didn't rush anything. Revy could barely 1 v 1 Roberta and Revy knew it as far as I'm concerned. You don't just go one on one against a crazy nutcase aiming a 50 caliber sniper rifle at you. And considering that was Roberta on a fuckton of meds and drugs Revy wouldn't have gotten close enough to use her cutlass' on Roberta.
I feel that it's mostly a bad ass chicks show than anything else. Even Sawyer is cutting people down for goodness sake. Dutch isn't much of an action guy, he'll get his hands dirty, but he won't just walk into the iron sights of a gun like Revy will. Benny is well...Benny, just look at him. He's voiced by Brian Drummond, but lacks the action prowess of a Brian Drummond character. I'll have to give it a second watch. I don't "hate" it, just was so pissed by the ending.
Rock's a different case. He's more behind the scenes Light Yagami level of scheming, which is funny since they have the same VA's. Didn't he even play Chang like a fiddle? I just remember Rock making him really pissed off. He showed very early signs of it when Revy took her over to Eda's and yes during the Japan arc. From what I remember the final Roberta arc is just where he cuts loose and pits pretty much every faction against each other like his own personal chess pieces. I'll have to watch it again, but him trying not to make the same mistake that he did with Yukiko really awakened some dark shit in him. I know there's an arc after that too...though it wasn't the final arc in the manga to begin with, but I stopped reading it because it went on hiatus at the time and I forgot where hell I was in it, that and it was moving super slowly, but If you like Greenback Jane you'll see a whole other side of her to say the least.
Comics...?

Um what's this about?
It's no biggie. Like I said earlier, this is me reading GAF:
I would type up my thoughts during my Gurren Lagann rewatch, but I don't think people were paying attention when I did it the first time.
Yeah you have much bigger fish to fry.

I think it is going to adopt a long form story telling eventually. They placed hints for future plots like the monster arm and stuff. I think the show will really kick off once things like character development start setting in. As it is now, it's just a cutesy show full of lols. Which is fine, but I recommended it because I believe it will become something more. And if you don't like it, that each episode is only 15 minutes makes it easily digestible
