About Gunslinger Girl

Looking for background on Gunslinger Girl? This action, drama and psychological series by MADHOUSE (2003) starts out like this. The premise: Officially, the Social Welfare Agency is a government sponsored corporation that's in the business of saving lives. In reality, it's an agency on the fringe of technology.

Along the way, they give terminal patients another shot at life using cybernetic implants. This conditioning process then shapes the patient into an efficient machine for handling all of the government's dirty work.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. Henrietta (Yuuka Nanri) and Triela (Eri Sendai) are two of the characters you will meet early. Think of it as a pick for viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 13 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
