Let me start by saying this Anime has a great story I would recommend to everyone! Gunslinger Girl alone changed the way I view anime I'll admit I used to only want to watch anime I was told had great fight scenes cause I really only liked it for the fighting but after watching gunslinger girl I now view it in a totally different way and am now in it for the story and character development.
Every episode of this series is painstakingly organized to perfection, every detail from the characters verbal and non-verbal gestures plays to their individual character pallet.This is not your typical B rated anime of run em' up/ shoot em' up blood baths the action in every episode is developed and is executed with purpose.
What if little girls defended good men with the same intensity good men currently defend little girls? This series is absolutely fantastic on so many levels: writing, animation, directing, English dubs, supporting cast, antagonists...
