Gunslinger Girl Review

Overall rating 8.0/10 - Very Good

I recommend for everyone.

This is a show form which Violet Evergarden stole the idea. 

Unlike Violet Evergarden this one does not try to make their girls more human, on the contrary: it trains them into fighting machines.

It has 5 girls in total so you will probably be able to find one that is to your taste. Each girl has a male handler and is very attached to him.

This is not a typical cute girls doing cute things show, but these girls are really cute and likable.

Story mostly revolves around agency work, who are something like Italian FBI or special forces. They fight organized crime and terrorism and use these cybernetically enhanced girls at soldiers. It is mostly bi-episodic (one story two episodes long)

A lot attention is placed on relationships between a girl and her handler. They are different in each pair. Sometimes dynamics in these relationships lead to unusual plot twists.

Overall, this show has an unusual combination of gritty fights with mostly nice and warm relationships between girls and their handlers.

I will readily recommend this show to anyone, unless you are feminist who opposes objectification of women. This one objectifies them like never before.
