Gun x Sword-san

These short episodes portray the cast of Gun Sword in a very wacky way. The characters appear as though they're in a cheap puppet show. So don't expect much in the way of art or storyline, but if all your looking for is a good laugh, then you could do far worse than watching Gun Sword-san. Oh, and Kameo the turtle talks.

Gonna keep it short and simple: Gun x Sword-san is among the best surrealist/absurdist anime out there. The main anime (GunxSword) is not even needed to enjoy this precious and fantastic gem. The only thing holding it back is being relegated to DVD when everything should be on streaming now.

It has everything you need:
Fast talking psycho characters
Pervy talk
4th wall-breaking shenanigans
Subversive as hell
Hilarious critics about the anime culture

The rough 3D models from 2005 are not a detriment at all. In fact, it just makes it even better for how absurd and budgety it feels.
It's like crushing coal into a diamond. The VA's do God's work ... bringing these weird looking shapes into life, especially Kameo that apparently is almost a senile old man in the flower of his youth.

There are so many meta jokes about the parent anime and the industry that it reminds me of how Gintama executed it's comedy way back when it was starting to air. The metaness of it all is very charming and it's important to value these old animes with this particular style cuz they are not a dime a dozen, that's for sure. Please go watch it right now, somehow
