Gunslinger Girl.

theOtaku.com: Version Vibrant. Four Years In The Making, Coming Soon

.Mini-Bio. Ehm! Eh, heh-heh... I'm never sure how to describe myself but I'll give it a shot. I can be silly and very serious at the same. I rarely act my age. I have a ton of interests but find it a bit difficult to focus on one thing for very long. So..."multi-tasker" aught to be stamped on my forehead, eh? I make a lot of noise with my piano and sometimes with the guitar. I definitely make a huge mess when I'm sketching. Pencil shavings and eraser bits everywhere! .Fav Manga & Anime.

This list could go on forever!

The first five episodes of Gunslinger Girl were entertaining and heartbreaking to watch. I'll be playing the DVD one more time before I take it back to the video store. Now, I really have to find my own copy. The series was released not long ago here and I find it very fascinating. A tad on the sad side, considering the girls who work for this "secret" government sponsored assassin agency are all very young and have dealt with tragedy beyond the normal scope of what any little girl should, if ever, go through. "Henrietta", a name given to one of the girls whom this story focuses on, was involved in a very tragic experience. Her entire family was murdered and she herself was left for dead. The "Social Welfare Agency" found her and gave her a second chance at life. Henrietta's Handler, Jose, has taken her under his protective care not because he is responsible for what she does but because he has genuine feelings for this girl. Afterall, he was the one who chose to give her a name. It's not exactly a life you'd want since these girls are genetically enhanced and their minds are "cleansed". Their fates are that of human killing machines. They are genetically modified to be the perfect assassin. If you'd ever watched a movie called Point of No Return or Le Femme Nikita, you'll get a sense of what Gunslinger Girl is all about. Okay, I've rambled on about this and you're probably bored out of your mind. So, I'll stop here and pounce off to sleep. Grrowl. Wierd, yep.
