Gunslinger Girl
Aired: 2003 - 2004
An action drama anime produced by Madhouse, based on the manga by Yu Aida serialized in MediaWorks' Monthly Comic Dengeki Daioh. Set within the Italian government's anti-terrorism agency "Social Welfare Agency," the story depicts girls who, after suffering severe injuries, are given cybernetic bodies and conditioned as assassins. The series delicately portrays the distorted bonds between each girl and her handler (fratello)—Henrietta and Jose, Rico and Jean, Triela and Hilshire—weaving together intense gun action with the girls' underlying sorrow against the beautiful backdrop of Italy across 13 episodes.
