The problem with Gunslinger Girl is that it's trying to be Neon Genesis Evangelion but in a much different way. It takes the cliches anime would have and turns it into a typical deep and intense anime. After my cousin showed me the trailer many years ago, I assumed this wouldn't have been a very good anime but as I got older, I decided to try it since little girls with guns sounds cool, but something didn't seem right. It took some time to figure out what was going on.

Henrietta is a shy and quiet little girl who has been tasked with the job of assassinating. In the episode I saw, she somehow turned crazy and started shooting on a rampage, which she doesn't seem to understand. The characters around her are thin. Artistically, the emotions that it conveys and the way the characters were created were okay.

Henrietta's dub voice actor did an okay job in voicing the character. The antic that the character did when she hit the guy with the case was cartoonish and she also came off as too violent.
