About No Guns Life

Meet No Guns Life (ノー・ガンズ・ライフ), an action, drama and sci-fi anime by MADHOUSE and EGG FIRM (2019). Here is the premise in a nutshell. The setup: After the war, there are many "Extends" in the city, people whose bodies were modified to make them into perilous weapons. Inui Juuzou is one of them, and he has no memories of his life and body before his head was transformed into a gun.

More of the story: Strangely enough, his head-gun is designed so that only someone behind him can pull the trigger. Juuzou makes a living by taking on cases involving Extends in the metropolis, and he is assisted by Mary, an intelligent young woman that he has taken under his protection.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Voice work is led by Masashi Ebara as Christina Matsuzaki and Marika Kouno as Scarlet Gosling. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. At 12 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
