| I'm not sure if this should be in a spoiler tag, but I'll put it in one anyway. This is just what came to mind after reading your thoughts about Pricilla. I am a little distracted right now with another series so this may not be worded the way I wanted :/ |
 |
| To be honest i like the ending but i am pretty sad, because i loved these pure Feelings from Pricilla. She was attatched to him, followed him blindly, told him her feelings. I didnt really thought that he would be interested at all first, but i have totally fallen for her Character so i wished that he would give in to her and then the story made me expecting to much, but as he said he definatelly would give her an Answer after he comes back i were like [wow is he really thinking of giving her a chance? the quick remembering of her name was also something which could be interpret in that direction, but then at the end i was huge dissapointed, not that he did answer with no, he didnt care to answer at all! Why? Why the hell did she become such a sidecast at the end? :( Thats my only sad point about this overall very good Anime ,) |

| Did Carmen just confess her feelings as well? But yeah this anime was enjoyable. :) |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Why are we using spoiler tags? Anyone reading a discussion of the last episode should have watched it first. To me, Pricilla's feelings were never rly noteworthy. Seemed like a crush she could develop on just abt anyone who made the right impression. Wendy needed to be on the brink of losing Van to feel jealous to realize her own feelings. I think his telling her she looked taller was a way of acknowledging her coming into womanhood but its nice that he din jump her right away haha. Funny that he wanders into her place (love how huge Kame has grown) and sweet that he has the picture in his coat. Also, WTF with the giant rock falling on them O_O srsly!? |
 |
| I never once thought that Wendy had any romantic feelings toward Van, he was more like a friend/companion. Pricilla on the other hand did share romantic feelings toward him. I don't think Van felt the same way about her, but she definetly liked Van. She was pissed at the very end when he left without telling her, making it pretty obvious to me she cared a lot. I think there just isn't a replacement for Helena in Van's mind. But Carmen did like Van, maybe more so than Pricilla. enjoyable episode, liked it a lot. |
| What an enjoyable series this was. It's kind of funny how Michael and Fasalina just died like that. Good riddance though since I hated them. It would have been nice to see an epilogue on how everyone was doing but the one on Wendy was okay. Plus, HOLY CRAP how did the turtle get so big! All in all, this was a great series with some flaws but nonetheless great. |
 |
| LOL, final scene was so priceless. Anyways, great series..and you owe Priscilla a date still, Van :> |
 |
| Nice episode, i kinda expected something more then winning coz Van is supposed to be stupid haha but it somewhat worked together in the end. I appreciate "after few years" part , i like those kind of hints on how it is with characters after the main story. Didn't expect turtle to become this huge haha , it would be nice if they also hinted if Van and Wendy ended up together in romantic way after all. Well i think they did, he just didn't want to force clueless kid to marry someone weird as him but after those mentioned few years its different thing :) Overall Very nice show i pretty much liked it , I love the way Van's character presents itself its very different from typical anime protagonists. 9/10 Sent with Mal Updater |
( Currently interested in OP MC genre. Recommendations are welcomed, preferable those yet not on my list ) |
| So, in the end everyone had feelings for Van...what a lucky guy lol. Anyway, the show itself was awesome. I loved the amazing armor fights. And the ending was good too, even though I wanted to see Van and Wendy getting together. But the meeting in the end might be a hint to it, right? All in all, it was definitely one of the best shows i've seen in quite a while. |
 |
| This series started pretty slow and I almost dropped it, but then it kept getting better and better. They did a great job in creating some really annoying antagonists and The Claw was a great villain. I'm so happy Van and co. took care of them and there was no crappy "lets understand each other" type of ending. I'm surprised so many people get into "who Van ended up with". As far as I can see, he was very much a complete simpleton and not really the kind of guy who would make a good couple. And just like Spike in Cowboy Bebop, his heart would always belong to the one woman. Nevertheless, it was cool that he ended up seeing Wendy again some years later. |

| Pretty good story, some annoying overused tropes (destroy the world to save it) but overall it was fairly well written but... if their gonna make an epilogue they should make sure they show everybody instead of half-assed like they did. No bonus points for you. I really didn't want Fasalina to die, death is the easy way out. She should have suffered more to atone for how annoying she was but I guess she just couldn't handle reality. Yes I think it was suicide. |
| I like Hentai, you like real life. Instead of complaining about my tastes, be grateful you now don't have to compete against me. |
| Nice ending, glad the claw died like that, I hated him. Fasalina and that stupid brother deserved more suffering, wendy should have shot him in the head. In the end van and wendy kinda got together, pricilla was cool all in all. The mecha fight was terrific. |

| This was a fun, nonsensical story about single-minded revenge up against single-minded idealism. What Yukiko said about the meaningfulness of a 'normal' life might seem uncharacteristic for a show where the protagonist and antagonist operate on the most extreme and (I think purposefully) cliche anime logic. But a desire for that is the driving force behind a lot of the character's actions, and of course that makes it an important aspect of the plot (like why else would there be so many hometowns just getting absolutely destroyed?) When a simple life is taken away from people, it leads to desperation and chaos. It was satisfying that he got his revenge with no bullshit. Anime doesn't usually let that happen, and it being so straightforward was fitting for the kind of show this was. I'd call the script 'old-school' if that makes sense. Not really seeing the connection to Cowboy Bebop or Trigun as others claim, the inspiration for this definitely comes from old episodic anime. Also, the Volkein's design was really fucking cool. |

| Absolutely loved it from start to finish. Wonderful world, story, characters and mecha approach. I'm so glad I played SRW and got to know of this show's existence. 10/10. |
| My impression of the first episode was a very positive one. I loved the bombastic style, the wild west aesthetic and the lone wanderer seeking revenge narrative. Animation was well above average and character design was on-point. Wendy's character design in particular! But two or three episodes later, the "monster of the week" episodic format became stale and boring. As expected, it gradually turned plot-focused and then, I started enjoying it much more. But still, the story is pretty damn silly and there's a lot of important details that were never explained. Good character dynamics could compensate for this deficiency but most of the main cast had very simplistic, one-note personalities. To make matters worse, the enjoyable Van x Wendy dynamic was spoiled with the sudden inclusion of a handful of new teammates. Wendy and Van were then pushed to the background in favor of much less interesting characters. I really wanted to like this anime more than I did. But I can't help but shake the feeling that it squandered so much amazing potential. 7/10 |

| finished last ep of gun x sword Im quite conflicted by this ending. The end stuff made me laugh. I liked how carlos response to Priscilla was like "What about me? Will i do?" Carmen managed to confess to Van and Wendy, quite quickly, met Van once again. And god damn that turtle grew. My complaints or observations: What the hell is Overflow? what type of bullshit last minute schtick they add into this. I wish I knew why The Claw even killed Elena I know he was a crazy man but still, what gave him reason to|| kill her. Granted, the story purpose is not to really know his reasoning, just to give us a reason to latch onto Van as his loved one died and he managed to accomplsih his goal which was brutal||. I'll admit I enjoyed the fighting and his CHESTO! Also, really, Michael and Fasalina. Ya had to do them like that? Quite unsatisfactory. This ep pissed me off and made me laugh at the same time. Lets get on with my review of the show. It had its moments. I enjoyed the times we did focus on the Claw and it was fun to see everyone gather together from past episodes to help out. I had a few laughs here. But I felt characters werent fleshed out much. They had cool designs and lil snippets of backstory but there needed to be more. I think OST was really fun. I also liked the character designs and enjoyed the fighting. I just think this end really mucked it for me. Imma give the show a 6.4/10. |

| Improved as it went along, really. The first half was your standard western parody nonsense, but it did pick up once other characters started getting involved. I just wish the antagonists had more coherent motivations for their allegiances and motives beyond their vague proselytising. |
