Gunsmith Cats Manga Review
Gunsmith Cats maybe still holds that cult status now even after the internet has no doubt introduced more folks to this mid-90s OVA.
Gunsmith cats manga review. To cut a long story short after many violent and admittedly well-stylized shootout scenes in which Rally and May display an impressive capacity for violence and indiscriminate destruction it turns out that MAJOR SPOILER INCOMING the mole and indeed the mastermind behind the gun-running gang was the senator the whole time. Here for you is a revised review for Kenichi Sonadas classic Gunsmith Cats. Every other manga is way over the top and very bombastic and really heavy on Special Name Attacks which seem redundant.
Gunsmith Cats is one of the best action manga you can find on the North American market as well as one of my personal favorites. This 1995 OVA rather then start adapting the manga from page 1 or choosing the very best of Sonodas stories decided to create an anime original plot. Rally also works as a bounty hunter assisted by May which is the impetus.
Based on the manga comic of the same name Gunsmith Cats is set in a surprisingly realistic Chicago and features the bounty huntergunsmith Rally Vincent and her grenade-obsessed partner May Hopkins. The only drawback was Dark Horse policy of flipping the art to conform with westerns expectation of left-to-right reading. Sure there were some Mobile Suit Gundam titles that intrigued me but aside from that GSC and a few other titles nothing else of manga really grabbed me.
Gunsmith Cats boiled down to its essentials is girls guns and grenades. New characters are introduced often enough to keep things interesting but infrequently enough that I could actually keep track of them. So the original manga was written and illustrated by Kenichi Sonoda.
NTSC seems at first glance to have the edge over the NTSC-PAL anime transfers we normally get in the UK but a few minutes with the flicker the jaggies and the over-saturated colours have me thinking that the slightly smoother animation just isnt enough. Better than the manga better than a lot of anime. The manga is available in English from Dark Horse.
The anime adaption amounts to a three-part OVA that was produced by OLM Inc of Pokémon and Berserk fame. There is also a five-volume sequel series Gunsmith Cats Burst. Gunsmith Cats Revised Edition Manga Volume 1 - AstroNerdBoys Anime Manga Blog AstroNerdBoys Anime Manga Blog says.
