A Decent Action Anime That Tries To Convey A Message Somewha

"This series while a little to short just being about twelve episodes was still very entertaining to watch and for the price a great steal for anyone's anime collection. The series seems to try and convey the utter futility and idiocy of war which would have been o.k. but the way they do it seems a little to humorous to really believe, the series main female character tries to give the message of giving up the senseless need to wage war but is herself an amazing gunslinger herself though she tries to use her gun as a last resort and never takes a life with it. Her partner a skilled sword fighter at first finds this belief utterly stupid but along their travels starts to see the reason of her belief and starts to share in her ideal. The series while has drama also keeps it light as well so it won't become to dark in its storyline like Deathnote or the like, there is a great deal of fan service in the series which is to be expected but nothing to r-rated the one thing a lot of people well find a little funny is how our female gunslinger reloads her weapon by flinging the bullets from out her cleavage. The video is clear and sharp and the music for this series fit perfectly with the show as well, the voice cast for the Japanese subbed and English dubbed were very good for their roles so no complaints on the voice cast at all. The extras are pretty much just some added funny deleted scenes, some trailers, and a video showing the making of the series. The set is three dvds in a one dvd case hold that holds all three but it's steady enough so it's really not that big of a deal. So if you like action animes with a funny twist in them or want to get your dose of an anime of fanservice here's a pretty good one to try out...."
