GUNSLINGER GIRL
[Review: 95/100]
There was one prevalent thought that slapped me in the face after I finished watching this last week: “What the hell took me so long?”. I honestly couldn’t answer that question. Gunslinger Girl is an absolutely amazing series that chronicles the lives of five adolescent girls, who possess cybernetic implants, and their handlers. With the first season consisting of 13 episodes it’s an easy must-watch with topnotch production values, superbly written characters, and an intriguing plot.
Gunslinger Girl aired back in 2003 and even today the animation is some of the best I’ve seen. The character designs are great and I particularly love those of the girls as they’re all shaped differently and possess their own unique physical traits. The music is absolutely stunning. I had wondered who came up with such beautiful compositions and to my surprise it was none other than Sahashi Toshihiko, the very same man who did the brilliant score for Simoun. I can listen to this soundtrack anytime of the day and I’d instantly disconnect myself from whatever I’m doing and be submersed into the sweet sounds.
