Gunslinger Girl

Begin with big guns and end with big dissapointment. For those of you who thought I may never dislike an anime, here you are wrong. I hardly find this show worth watching and am sad to have lost the valuable time I did watching this hoping for eventual atonement. I hoped for something deeper within this anime, yet there isn't much beyond the little (mentally and physicallly) manipulated girls toting gigantic weapons and their male companions. You could say that this treats the theme of the eternally corruptible human soul, but it fails miserably because there is very little character development. It is praised in many other places and I may have been dissapointed to a greater degree because of my high expectations. Worth watching if you are snowed into an alpine cabin and must choose between a super-drama anime like Marriage or this. Check it out, but you have been warned http://www.amazon.com/Gunslinger-Girl-Box-Set-Collection/dp/B000WE5I24/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1272218806&sr=1-3

Whatever you do, don't expect an adequate ending from the OVA.
