Gunslinger Girl Official Trailer

[DeathByGeek]

The girl has a mechanical body. However, she is still an adolescent child.

[insaneinsanityXV]

@lordoflizardsp

Me to! Its so frickin creepy but I love it!

[lordoflizardsp]

.....ooohhh...that gives me the chills, every time I see the part with Rico at the end of the trailer. "I am sorry." *shiver*

[MrArson105]

never mind i know the name now

[nikl1100ify]

I feel bad for what happened to Henrietta but even though what happened her I always see Henrietta blush at Jose I think Henrietta likes him oooooooooooooooooooo!

[nikl1100ify]

a violin case

[MrArson105]

does anyone know the name of the music playing in this trailer

[isaidwtfman]

woot reconized grey ayres voice lol gonna watch it looks good. even tho seen this in lots of animes brain-washed by gov and put robotics in em but realy it never gets boring:)

let the blood flow!!! lol

[cupcakesimulation]

What kind of case does Henrietta carry that gun in?

[ELITEHAMSTER123]

@cupcakesimulation 4/4 (full size) Amati Violin case. At least, I think its full sized.

[zzZChiTownRockerZzz]

lupe fiascos little weapon would go nicely with the trailer

[crosshairjunky]

I have almost every rifle in this anime series.. I guess i'd better buy the box set to get see if I'm missing any.

[Caribbeanpiratesrule]

reminds me of that recent movie Hannah

[reaperpunk94]

is the creator watch leon the professional ? Lol

[24mat1]

This anime was sad but it had its moments. Very good anime bought both seasons.

[slinq]

@24mat1 i didnt watch #2 but #1 made me cry when u know who died i do not want to be a grain of whiet

[DancingDruidStudio]

*reads argument between 1991 and ghost*

If only all fights were like that...

[ELITEHAMSTER123]

@DancingDruidStudio instead its more like whats in the video ^

[kingkarl12341]

kurama heart

[AnimalCreation]

and this isan anime? I've seen better

[YuriHanaY]

@AnimalCreation Have you ever watched it?

[MrsBloom3]

I urge you Gunslinger Girl fans to read the manga! It gets so intense! I fear it's nearing the end!!

*Spoiler-ish*

Many of the girls die. ;_;

[AliYume1]

"I now see the system could use some improvement." Reallty? What was your first clue? *spoiler alert* Henrietta snapping or Elsa going ax murder-crazy?

[Killuminatyi]

This anime is just incredibly awesome!

At first glance many people (including me) would think this is just an anime made to attract attention of viewers (you know, a bunch of girls with guns killing people) but it's so much more then that, it's so emotional and stuff, the ending almost made me cry.

[Neichus]

@Killuminatyi Agreed. I was told to watch this series and raised an eyebrow just hearing the name. Instead it just sucked me in and has to be one of the best series I've ever seen. This is the ultimate anime for demonstrating the degenerative effect treating people as a means rather than an end has on all involved. Not only are the girls forced to do the most horrific things but even the handlers who have any conscience suffer knowing what they're doing. Nothing comes of it but pain.

[vicetown4]

This anime reminds me of the movie Hanna

[Ghostshepard]

@vicetown4 The movie Hanna got it from this anime.

[mewtwo3291]

sweet! its like an army of Hit-Girls in their arsenal!

[brendamzy]

watched HANNA last night. I couldn't help thinking that it reminded me of this anime.

[Uncrazamatic]

Very sad moments in this show,like when Rico has to kill the boy she has feelings for.So fucked up.Or Henrietta they hint she was raped.and they had to remove her uterus.So sad.

[saltyavocado]

Definitely one of the best anime's out there if you want something thought provoking and free of cliches. It's horrifying and beautiful -- and you'll fall in love with these girls by the end of the thirteen episodes.

[Kneeblekiidiyuffie]

I luv this Anime

It's the best!

[Killuminatyi]

Reminds me of a movie called Leon (I think), about a guy who teaches a little girl how to be an assassin.

[GoGoVengo]

@Killuminatyi (Leon) the Professional. and the Girl is played by Natalie Portman.

[eliR101]

what is the name of the song?

[kaminohanshin]

*thinks for a moment* you know, it seems whenever there are bad-assed fighting girls, they usually fight strictly male grunts or middle-ranking bad guys, few leaders bad guys, and, in only a few animes, precious few, high-ranking female villians. I dunno if it's just me or has anyone else noticed it?

[then00best]

@kaminohanshin The show isn't too focused on violence. The trailer exaggerates how much fighting there is. But yeah, most of the enemies are nameless grunts. There is a young guy (20 or younger) and a woman later on

[VanOostjien]

Sounds like Chrisian Bale

[raiden2525]

Not your typical good and evil black and white style of anime. This picture is painted in shades of gray, and focuses a lot on the unique psychological profile of the little girls turned assassin. Really a must see.

[DJohnTR6767]

At 1:31 what season and episode was/is that from? thats the one I want to get!

[dataznfoo]

whats the music in this trailer. i know it's tema 2 but i wanna know the name of this version

[grantmaster13]

That was more gay than Bill Cosby with Charlie Sheen in Taco Bell getting ready to satisfy their late night munchies.

[JapaneseMonsters14]

@grantmaster13 damn grant, that was comedic burst of pure liquid gold smothering a chocolate cake.......in other words, your comment was funny

[SgtSmith13]

@grantmaster13 RESPECT +5000

[JapaneseMonsters14]

@SgtSmith13 I pissed my pants both times I saw grants comment!

[mark60060]

i don't like english dub.

original japanese is way better.

[darkphantom213]

*sigh* one of the most under-rated animes...

[Galwaybanana]

shed be savage at css

[minion119]

i wonder if they ever become adults?

"Gunslinger Woman"

[trielasakuraraven]

this anime may look bad but it actually the BEST ANIME EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[darkphantom213]

@trielasakuraraven agree with u man



[robertekew]

What song was used in this trailer?

[narutosuperfan335]

is theire ani romance in this anime coz it looks good but i was thinking ya know..

[robertekew]

@narutosuperfan335 very little actual romance. There are very touching brother/sister moments between the handlers and assassins, though. And Rico briefly falls in love with a bellhop, but she is forced to kill him during an assignment. In this series there's no love and fireworks here.

[thunderhorn1997]

I wish there was a 3rd series im addicted to it and theres no more i can watch :(

[pinuchi]

@thunderhorn1997 Thats where the manga comes in.

[MrsBloom3]

@thunderhorn1997 The manga goes to much farther.

[dj66dog]

LOL @ "Little girls, Big Guns"

[01Markus01]

Amazing series, so good i had to review it on my site mangareviews.weebly.com check it out

[SLisica08]

I get shivers every time I watch the trailer...

Beautiful show T_T

[ShadowSoldior]

All bets that that is the only black man in it.

[TheRealAkaRai]

@ShadowSoldior Yes, because there should be lots of black people in Anime, what with the huge population of black people living in Japan right?

[ShadowSoldior]

@TheRealAkaRai There's quite a few animes that do not take place in Japan. And even so, that is not what I meant. I meant that it was a very different thing seeing a black man in anime. And it's all majority population anyways, that's why most shows are about white people...well, depending on where you live.

[TheRealAkaRai]

@ShadowSoldior It's actually impossible to be a black citizen of Japan (or white for that matter, or hispanic) because their policy for dealing with the booming population and limited space is that you cannot become a citizen unless both your parents were born in Japan, and of Japanese descent, and you're born there too.

With anime, unless there's a specific Earth setting (like Italy here, or Britain in Hellsing) I'd just as well assume races from this planet have no bearing on what they are.

[1shot3killsH3]

1:35 was so sad for Rico. This anime took me 2 days to finish for season 1! and it was gooooooooooooooooooooooooodie! I just really can't believe it came out in 2005 and 5 years later, I begin watching it as of June 30th to July 1st... Such a good anime too.

[starfigherrocket]

that is awesome. I WANT THAT!!!! that was just amazing

[seanmaltolocal]

That SCARED THE FUCK OUT OF ME little girls guns love it....

[karategirl666]

i cant get past what was the suck of the second season animation

[whendeathdies]

i dont get y people think this is all so dark or creepy i mean there are many shounen action animes who have teens or kids kill others. even the mainstream naruto, bleach i mean ninjas are by definition assassins and shinigami=death god which speaks for itself

others like shana, the to aru kagaku/majitsu animes all have teen characters who deal with terrorist, murders, and some pretty grotesque shit

only diff is that there's no comedy here

[DarkAngel7717]

@whendeathdies The differince its that this show plays it seriously. In things like naruto even if the characters have a hard time, part of you still feels like there on an adventure. These kids it feels more real the psych and everything. Them killing people seems more real somehow.

[The2HaloSpartans]

you should post te series

[RackHopper]

This series was so great. It's an instant classic for me. It's a shame that the new creators ruined it by changing the artwork. Rico looks like a dumb blondie! I'll go and point a gun to their head and show them what a real gunslinger girl looks like.. Die my little friend...

"Oh pitiful shadow lost in the darkness,

Bringing torment and pain to others,

Oh damned soul wallowing in your sin,

Perhaps it is time to die

Would thy like to expiriance death?" -Jijoku shojo

[AriochStarr]

OMG OMG OMG! I want one! =D

[rebornfan124]

damn got to watch this anime

[AnimeLover1215]

where can i watch the second season with english subs? what's the song?

[Nekologic]

rico has the same voice as mariko from elfen lied :D

[MrsBloom3]

@Nekologic No she doesn't. Angelica has the same voice as Mariko.

[Nekologic]

@MrsBloom3 no angelica has the same voice at mayu ._.

[MrsBloom3]

@Nekologic No. They're two completely different voice actors. You must hear the difference. Rico is voiced by Luci Christian. Angelica is voiced by Monica Rial. Mayu is voiced by Cynthia Martinez. Look it up if you don't believe me.

[XxAnimeLover1235xX]

Holy Shit this anime Looks SUPER KOOL!

[smileyhappyface13]

@2828Nutcracker - Well it really all depends on what anime you are watching! Anime like this has a fair bit of blood, as you can see in this preview. I don't really think there is another anime out there that is more gory than Elfen Lied though. But if you are into a action/suspense kind of anime I would recommend Code Geass (its on Bandai Entertainments Channel). There is blood, but I wouldn't say that there is a lot. :]

[2828Nutcracker]

Just a quick question, don't get mad! How gory is this anime? I tried to watch elfen lied, and that was too gory for my liking. I've watched little clips of this anime, and little blood splatters coming out when someones shot dosn't bother me. But brains and guts flying across the room is too much. I need an answer!

[whitemage26062]

@2828Nutcracker

its violent but clean if that makes sense. Nothing more then that of a csi or some cop show on tv.

[movieman2000]

this looks fucking awesome

im gonna order the blu-rays when i get a chance (and the money)

thank god i love crazy anime

anyone seen kite this kinda reminds me of kite that was awesome too

[Greebar]

@movieman2000 I always say "I'll buy it when I get the money" so right now my list should be around 50+ items long. It never happens D:

Unless of course you make some kind of Golden list...

[HeartlessTimmy]

Ooooo :) P90<3 How lovely :)

I'll watch this AsAP

[eacortes]

This show deffinately stood out amongst so many animes. It has a real deep, vehement meaning to it that rattles you with despair and pity for these girls. The action is fine, but the chemistry of the characters relations is so moving, and sometimes chilling. A real jewel amongst anime. Love the musical scores!

[nicoliolipoliBAMF]

i shall watch this anime!

[Goldeagle10]

An incredible show, not just the blood and gore but a deep story line

[AirStylesWindia]

This show is not about : Little Girls with Big Guns.

When really, the main attraction of this show is how the girls and their handlers cope with each other in their f*cked up world. They struggles.

The girls are basically dead(not literally) before they got taken in and change into cyborgs. (Children = easier to adapt to cybernetic implants as they're still growing)

It break one's heart when you see them kill. They're not that different from ordinary little girls, but the world they live in.

[AirStylesWindia]

Through out the show, I find myself feeling sorry for these cyborgs.

Their training, their handlers mindset, how their handler feel about having child cyborgs, brainwashing, "False affection", "real affection".

And ultimately, yes, they do have flaws, several of them...

This show is great.

[eacortes]

@AirStylesWindia Well said, it seemed so sad to see how coldly they dispatched their foes, and innocent people. Rico seemed the coldest of them all, like when she gunned down that kid in the hotel.

[Wildnose]

I saw all the episodes! Loved it! :D

[richintalent]

What scares me about these girls is they show NO EMOTION!!!!!

[Thosecursedeyes]

only at first, because of the brainwashing. Later on their individual characters quickly take hold.

[LuckyChance345]

So they leave the governments "dirty work" to a couple of little girls. that makes sense.

[darkkuzo]

of course i remember..... i am sorry *TINK* .-.

[Ghostshepard]

@darkkuzo so sad in the show, holy shit I crieedd!!

[1991ByronMitchell]

@Ghostshepard thats because ur a fucking cry baby

[Ghostshepard]

@1991ByronMitchell I watched the show when I was 10, I think it was normal, and I'm a girl, chillax, robot douche.

[1991ByronMitchell]

@Ghostshepard holy kid i was kidding, no need to get upset, i cry too

[Ghostshepard]

@1991ByronMitchell Ok. :P

[1991ByronMitchell]

@Ghostshepard I knew this was the right thing to do

[Ghostshepard]

@1991ByronMitchell Wow, that's really intense of you, man. Thanks, I appreciate it. You're not a douche. :3 (but if you are still trolling...)

[1991ByronMitchell]

@Ghostshepard thats because i am a troll lol jk ok bye

[werewolf478]

Triela is my favorite in this show... i don't know why I think its because of her attitude or her outfit but she's my fav. And this show just kicks major ass...

[ssjwes]

I dont know what it is but cute little girls blasting with fullauto weapons is awsome

[tonmandude]

word

[theXpurpleXgurl]

looks awsome! where can i watch this in english?

[Xonx68]

Well, I guess there might be a glimmer of hope for the possibility of a live-action version. If they can make that stinking pile of turd called "Kick-Ass" into a movie, then there surely should be no objection to creating a live-action version of something as magnificient as Gunslinger Girl.

[eacortes]

@Xonx68 I just saw Kick-Ass and it was a VERY good time at the movies. I could'nt help but think of Gunslinger Girl when Hit Girl goes blazing into action, it was fantastic! Yeah, the fact that they had the balls to put an 11 year old girl actress in that kind of subject matter does offer a flicker of hope in the distant future that there could be a Gunsliger Girl movie.

[Elisa12131415]

*face palm**sceaming* I guess i should stay away form little kids 4 now on.

[bffmaureen]

the guy at 1:33 is kaoru's voice from ouran high school host club *-*

[1angelyn1]

Rico is my favorite in this Anime

[1stclasswarior]

1:01 - 1:04 is godly!

[tom0378]

Note to self, stay away from little girls carrying a violin case.

[richintalent]

I'll be afraid of little girls from now on...

[gd01skorpius]

:20 second mark.... uuuh, where did those casings come from?

[draco606]

They from the FN P90 that Henrietta uses.

[draco606]

They are*

[gd01skorpius]

*Face palm*

[ScaleDragoon]

Rico is my favourite....

[TravisEngland222]

this looks badass

[Punk7680]

Woah, you must be an idiot.

[xochequetsal]

when rico says,"I am sorry" she sounds too heartless and robotic in english. in japanese she is much more emotional sounding

[frozenpandaman]

so true

[harlequin2262]

Good. It emphasises just how creepy those girls are. And one of the major themes of the show, which tends to show the girls as cute and very creepy in the same moments.

She's being polite while SHOOTING the guy. Emotionlessly. When there's been a sort of macabe romance subplot developing between them.

[xochequetsal]

but thats not what the creator was implying as he wrote this, they are just little girls FORCED to be assasins, while they are all trying to find out if their emotions are theirs or the conditioning. Obviously, Rico was felling a real emotion while being with the dude. Then Jean tells her to kill anyone who sees her on a mission so she has too. She doesnt want to! and the japanese version is still better.

[xochequetsal]

when i say "implying" i mean that they are not emotionless

[harlequin2262]

Yeah, exactly why it's so creepy.

In the way that they're bouncing up and down on a bed, all cute and conventional, but they're talking about how few people they've had to shoot that week.

I found the Japanese voices sort of whiney. Too high pitched, yeah? Sounded kinda fake.

[popular13]

which episode is 0:00 to 0:30 from?

[Ateater]

Episode 1.

[xochequetsal]

its not a movie idiot...

[Dflowen]

Anyone got the music in the background? It's cool.

[norsef]

Would it really be too much to ask for the girls to be voiced by girls rather than women in their twenties/thirties talking in a silly voice?

[sakuravsino123]

It can't be that way because girls have to go to school, while women in their 30s and 20s do this as work....

[draco606]

What are you talking about the voice actors did extremely well in matching voices to the characters. This is one of a handful of animes where the dubbing company actually succeeded in hiring quality voice actors.

[MitsukoLi]

Who are you kidding? The voice acting in this is absolutely abysmal. The main guy sounds like some 20 year old american guy with a lisp, not an italian agent.

[draco606]

First of all "american with lisp"... lol, awesome.

Secondly, the voice acting in this was well done. If you want to talk about a bad selection in casting then you should be talking about Higurashi. That dubbing was abysmal.

[demonblooduchiha]

they arent voiced by children in the original japanese version either

because children aren't competent enough for voice acting

not enough to meet the cast atleast

[sukipenghin]

I LOVE gunslinger girl

its my most favorite anime

I love it so much I saw the first and second season in english AND Japanese

lol I don't even speak Japanese

[PRETTYBIRDBULLFROG]

I know right me to its my favorite anime!!!!!!

[strtthshw]

This...is nothing like Dollhouse. Someone said it was, and well, now I know they fail at life :P

[Hakkenden]

lol why is it always the cute girls that kill?

kinda reminds me of Claymore...girls being experimented & such anyway I'll watch it since I love action =P

[ccsgirl12]

Hmm...I've been wanting to see this anime but im too lazy =.= I mean it looks awesome!...But im lazy.

XD

[yohanisburg]

This dub was honestly amazing, and I generally hate dubs.

Rico's voice is so cute :3

[StripedTearsBroken]

1:07.. Boobjob..?? Um HELP D;.

[MrsBloom3]

She's getting her arm repaired.

[StripedTearsBroken]

well, it was covering her boob, and there was blood when her boob should be, and i was like o.O whatever more like second chance at SEX life.

[kikyouwuv]

Rico is my favorite and the cutest but triela is just amazing (the best assasin).

[Takanu065]

Gunslinger Girl season 1 and Gunslinger Girl season 2 were both awesome. I have them both. I am happy to say though that Gunslinger Girl season ends happily for once.

[Summer891234]

can someone tell me why she kill the boy

[HaylieBogan]

He saw her on a mission, she didn't know what to say to him, also, well there's flaw's in the reconditioning apparently and obviously they think shooting someone solves EVERY problem. I can agree to an extent, oh well can't blame them they kick ass!! :)

[draco606]

There are flaws to the girls, but the reconditioning isn't the reason why she shoot him. She was given a standing order to kill anyone that sees her on a mission. I would assume that all the girls have this order, but they only show Rico receiving this order. The flaw in that scene wasn't her shooting him, it was the length of time it took her to take action.

[koolycali]

holy crap i never thought of it like that but your right to the average person killing the some one that did not deserve it would be the flaw but the mind of the ones giving orders isn't thinking who but how long thats amazing that you thought of that your awsome

[xxskyvipe2rxx]

@draco606 in my opinion, i think rico's hesitation is because she is the youngest one and according to Jean she cant do anything on her own and yes the order to kill any one that sees her on a job applies to all

[Draconian606]

@xxskyvipe2rxx that"s what i meant about Rico. Her hesitation is her flaw, Triela her attitude, and Henrietta with her affection and i think in the show they were trying to imply that she would develop memory loss with more reconditioning. I say that for Henrietta, because when asked where she learned "are just smaller tasks" (from the Ep. about Elsa's death) she said she couldn't remember, but she learned it form Jose.

[elvinliedfan]

i already have the first season.

[VictoriaxDyllan]

The crap was that? Looks awesome... must find on YT...

ARG!! They does not have episodes on YT.

Is this dubbed or is it OEL?

[KoyotoShadow]

It's dubbed.

[dog74586]

am on the last episode woot!!! can't wait

[gatheringleaves]

I loved Elfen Lied

So I might have found my new fave anime

[lollypoppylo]

I WANT THIS! but im still watching kodocha!

[sukipenghin]

this anime was fantastic

i highly recommend watching it

[alexpdog]

Is this anything like Black Lagoon? I loved that anime, and I was so upset when I was done.

[Jimjimmyjames909]

it looks good and it seems similer to elfen lied.
