Synopsis

In the dangerous suburbs of Chicago, skilled bounty hunters Irene "Rally" Vincent and "Minnie" May Hopkins run Gunsmith Cats, a firearms store of questionable legality. One day, Bill Collins, an agent for the Chicago branch of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives, blackmails Rally and May into working with him on a case. The stakes are high, but Rally’s gunmanship and May’s knowledge of explosives are unmatched. As Rally and May unravel the secrets of the case, the two will need to use guns and grenades while being faster, stronger, and better than everyone else in order to stay alive.

Gunsmith Cats is possibly one of the best animes to come from the late 90’s in terms of animation at the least, The car chase scene, The little things like them loading the magazines into the guns just phenomenal animation

The story isn't anything crazy, Just two girls and some guns but I'd say this was definitely worth a watch, Good enough for casual people to sit through but nothing crazy


I'd rank this a solid 7/10, I haven't read it as of writing this but I suggest reading the manga if you do enjoy this since they do a lot more in the manga from what ...

Guns: for days
Smith: well, Rally runs a gunshop? that's like half a gunsmith
Cats: only in the intro. I really thought there would be more cat ears in this show

Fortunately, Rally and Mae are absolutely stacked with appeal, so it actually took until about half-way through the OVA for me to realize there are no cats in this show at all. All of the dude characters are somewhere between lame and obnoxious, but most of the runtime is spent on Rally and Mae bouncing off of each other and pulling each other out of tight spots. The action is well choreographed and paced, meaning that there ...

Mixed Feelings
An anime with perfect production, but an average script.
Gunsmith Cats is technically sensational, the soundtracks are very good, a very unique atmosphere, very good animation, a simply impeccable artistic direction, a very eye-catching design and an excellent visual representation of Chicago, making it a series that is well worth watching just by its technical terms.
However, narratively speaking it is well mediated, the characters are only supported by charisma, fun situations and an interesting story, but not so well used.
At least it's a really fun anime to Watch.
