Gunslinger Girl.....where to start? *some spoilers but not ruiners*

I was first drawn into this because it was on the recommendation bar for Phantom of Inferno (Requiem for the Phantom). And as that is one of my favorites I had to check it out..

Story-8 Eh...I would not say this particular anime has one specifically drawn out plot...more like separate stories revolving around the girls in the story. This site has all but one of the girls as "main" but I believe Henrietta to be the official main, as she and her fratello have the most interesting and unique episodes.

Art-9 The art in this show is not 100%, but it is very polished and not crude or glitchy. I was not thrown off by any colors and this helped to keep me drawn in.

Sound-10 Amazing soundtrack, not my favorite but definitely in my top 10. The soundtrack helps to remind you of what this anime is actually based around and how it is not a daycare but a government organization.

Character-10 In my opinion, the development is what drives this entire show forward. I could relate (figuratively) to almost every one of these girls. The fact that their emotions still push out even though what they have been through is very cruel and unusual.

Enjoyment/Overall-(9) My enjoyment as well as my final verdict stand as one. Although this has not made it into my top 10, it was close and that is saying something. I wouldn't compare it to Phantom: Requiem for the Phantom in any way however, as that holds a plot and this one does not. But do not let that scare you away, as it is very good to say the least.
