About No Guns Life

No Guns Life (ノー・ガンズ・ライフ) arrives as an action anime by MADHOUSE and EGG FIRM (2019), and the premise is easy to summarize. The premise: After the war, there are many "Extends" in the town, 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.

Beyond that: 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 town, and he is assisted by Mary, an intelligent young woman that he has taken under his protection.

In an action series like this, 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. It will appeal most to viewers who like fast, high-impact fights. With 12 episodes in total, there is enough room for the story to develop.
