It's too bad too. I watched Gunslinger Girl and loved every minute of it. It's about near death girls who get a second chance at life, but are turned into ruthless cybernetic assassins fighting against a domestic terrorism group called the Five Republics Faction, and to a lesser extent, the Italian Mafia. It's amazing, and it's sad that some people won't give it a chance. The people who worked on it did Monster and then Death Note. It's pedigree material that should be schlocky. You can watch the first 2 episodes legally on Funimation's website here: https://www.funimation.com/shows/gunslinger-girl/fratello-siblings/uncut/?lang=english

Rant and plugging over.

Shouldn't most of the credit go to the creators of the original source material itself all of which were derived from the manga ? 

Yeah, Yu Aida made a good manga, but the direction and editing is something mostly found in film, TV, and anime. They did a good job. Scenes are exactly as long as they need to be, and no longer. They explore ideas, but never directly, it's usually done through dialogue and framing (IIRC, there's some Kubrick-like shots that I really like/liked when I watched it. That reverse tracking shot is trademark Kubrick. It's found in at least 3 films of his, the one in Full Metal Jacket being my favorite. Of course, that too was based on a book, but Kubrick's direction brings the material to life).
