Gunslinger Girl

Chiefblackhammer · Jun 25, 2005, 04:14 PM

Has anyone seen this yet? I saw the first dvd and thought it was ok. The music was good and it did keep my attention but the series is only 13 eps in length and thus far has been nothing more than a test in character development techniques. Of course maybe I am wrong and the series can dish out something really good in what is left (most series only have a few eps that really build the deep parts of the story anyway i.e. Cowboy Bebop Eps 5, 12-13, 25-26). Any thoughts?

i liked it...as the story goes on, they delve a bit deeper into the different girl's personalities and experiences...tirela kicks ass

anime reminds me of Noir
except there's a little sci-fi element
I love Noir, so...
when I get my hands on some Gunslinger Girl DVDs, I know I'll enjoy it

I second that!

This series is really just character development. But its cute, after all, when anime uses little girls with some kind of killing ability and a "...I... don't... know...forgive me..." kind of additude, its usually a hit (Noir, Elfen Lied, etc.) And IMO, this series has one of the better endings (even though it has little to do with it...).

My favorite anime. Ever. Well at least tied with a few others. I would really want Triela's M1897 or Claes' H&K MP5 PDW. Hawt. <3 I'm always a fan of short series that end on a successful note as well. I'd recommend this to anyone.

Oh, good... now that I know that this series isn't just for pedophile otaku, I might give it a look-see.
