Digging up more gems from the past, I would say that this is definitely a "feel good" series, perfect for destressing (and during times when a guy is really stressed out

).

I have always been a fan of travel/journey stories and this is just the type of series I like to watch. The main appeal to me from this series is the mood in which it goes by. "To find the ultimate battle stratergy without fighting" is a unique view during times of constant conflict.

The characters are all pretty much likable. Rushuna is super cute and has a huge chest, not something I am particularly fond of, but that is usually because they are only for display. But in this case Rushuna uses them to store her bullets and make the enemy lose their will to fight, which does count as being some kind of use, so all is forgiven ^^

I didn't have much trouble liking this series but if there was one thing I can change, it would have to be to make it a bit longer. The character could have used more development and depth but I know how hard it is to balance the two, hence the ending was rather "to be continued"...teasing the viewer is bad

Overall a well earned 8.5-9/10 from me...this is just something that will put a smile on your face

Oh yeah, this one takes me back. It was a pretty good show during it's time. The heroine reminded me of Vash from Trigun, so I would often refer to her as the female version. The tone of the show was nice, but it didn't have a very big impact on me. I would've liked to see more intense romance and drama into the mix, but the likeable characters, awesome action and sweet fanservice evened itself out from the negatives. Overall I'd give it a 7.5/10. Would've given it an 8 if it didn't feel like a cheap knock off of Trigun.

I rather liked this show, had some great fight scenes, charming lead heroine, and a strong soundtrack.

However, I do think it suffers from a big flaw. I feel like it oversimplifies its themes. In other words, I don't think forgiveness and pacifism are as simple and easy as the show makes it look. I guess part of this might have to do with the short length of the series, but I find it rather silly that characters let go of their personal issues so easily. I'm sure Rushuna's breasts feel very nice, but people don't let go of their grudges with a simple hug. Not too mention, I never felt like Rushuna's beliefs were seriously put to the test, which limits the impact the show otherwise could have.

Basically comes down to the "there wasn't enough time to develop anything". I was quite surprised that I hardly felt and "filler" eps at all when watching it (which was unusual). So yea...this series could have benefited by being longer ^^

this was an intersting series, I might even consider buying it. I do hope they make another season/series someday.

One of those throwback series that didn't really age too well imo. Somewhat bland character designs, cheap animation techniques used for action scenes, forgettable plot, and worst of all, for a series about gunslinging the gunshot SFX were pretty bad and there was barely any indication of people actually getting shot and taking damage.

Basically some sort of cheap Trigun-ish knockoff with fanservice back when fanservice was pretty tame compared to most series nowadays and not all "let's see how close I can get to a hentai without being an actual hentai type deal" which was quite refreshing.

Rushuna's version of "Love and Peace" was never really put to the test like Vash so it was hard to take any of series more serious moments to heart. In fact the way most violent people have a complete change of heart in the series came off as pretty silly but I guess this is more due the fact of how short the series is so such expansive character development was out of the question.

I honestly only had interest in this because of a "gung-fu" clip from this series that I saw on youtube. It was actually pretty impressive to watch so I was thinking maybe there was more of that in the series but boy was I wrong. None of the action scenes really lives up to that one small clip.

The OP and ED was quite beautiful tough if there was anything to truly take from the series.
