Having enjoyed both "Noir" and "Madlax" I was pleased to find the third part of Bee Train's "Girls with guns" trilogy available on Funimation's YouTube channel. When I started watching I immediately noticed that the quality of the animation was better than that in the two previous series. Another difference that soon became apparent was that this series is far less violent than its predecessors'.
Nadie is a bounty hunter who has been hired to capture Ellis, a girl suspected of murder, a murder that she herself does not know if she committed as she has lost her memory. Once they are together the grow closer and later Nadie's contract is changed to protecting Ellis as she heads south to a lost village. On their way they meet a variety of characters such as L.A. a rather creepy boy who is obsessed with Ellis and will kill anybody who tries to stop him getting to her and Ricardo, a bounty hunter travelling with Lirio, a young girl who likes our two heroines. I've tried to keep the plot description to a minimum to avoid any spoilers.
Even though there is a far lower body count than the previous series it still managed to be exciting. As well as toned down violence there was less fan service than "Madlax", there was the occasional bare bottom but nothing more. As with the other parts of the trilogy this has a great sound track. I really enjoyed this series and hope it it gets a UK DVD release one day.
These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
