Themes: Weapons
Plot Summary: For those of you out there that remember the OS-tan manga and anime mini-series, this is a bit along the same lines. In this case the characters are not representing computer operating systems, but firearms from around the world. The general storyline is quite funny, and a bit "ecchi" in nature but is well written and not overy silly.

The only reason I'd ever watch this would be to see how many guns I'd recognize from my old army and Operation Flashpoint days. And of course to see if any guns from my parts made it to the show.
However, that's not a very heavy reason so I'm in no hurry to watch the ep. Especially since what I've read of the show is hardly high praise.
I mostly found the episode amusing from the ecchi connotations. I'll see how the rest of the eps go, but this can get old fast.

This is one wierd show. As expected from japan o_o. But yea, will watch episode 2.
Thanks shinta|hikari for the sig.

Fortunately this episode had more meaningful fight action than the first one. I have now higher hopes for the later episodes. Also a good idea to make 5.56 middle schoolers and 7.62 high schoolers.
The onee-chans were needed badly to keep things interesting.Originally Posted by Kraco
Before I started watching this show I was under the impression that "the girls are guns" meant that they transform into guns for their companions to use, but it's apparent that they personify and shoot themselves..

And SMGs are elementary schoolers. I should have guessed. However, I'm far more looking forward to the two girls with nonhuman ears shown in the OP (around 1:10). According to some manga spoilers I was subjected to they should be quite interesting characters.
Was all the stuff they said about Eru true? xD

Episode 5 - HS

This episode surprised me positively. I was fully expecting them to censor some of Sako's antics from the anime, or at least mellow them, but it seems they all made it through. For some reason I found those scenes really funny. They are guns, so they won't be killed by getting shot at, which removes any tragedy from scenes like that. Last but not least, I can't claim Sako being Finnish wouldn't make me root for her, as villainous as she is. It's made all the better by how good she is.
I hope Ichiroku breaks Sako into tiny little pieces for shooting Sig like that. I like crazy villains, but not when they are petty and insecure. It is not cool being insane, but being cool despite being insane is what makes a good villain.
Peace.
Same, though from the preview, it looks like it might be the other way around.

Man, I had such hard time not being a manga prophet when I was reading your comments up there. I didn't hate Sako at any point, so I had no such sentiments after that head shot, but perhaps it's exactly because of that why I found your rage all the more hilarious, considering it only made Sig cuter, especially when she was pouting.
Now that the arc is over, looking back at the whole tournament, the Sako and Galil team's level of fighting skills were quite well above the rest, which makes it all the sadder she needed to leave. She only lost because she was fighting a totally different war from the rest. She wasn't interested in winning the tournament as much as beating the current leader in a humiliating manner. That's a huge handicap she gave herself. It would be easy to say she lost because of arrogance, but since without that arrogance beating Ichiroku would have only yielded winning the standard exam war, it would have meant nothing to her. Well, at least Galil is happy either way. Though Galil staying behind means Sako will now be all alone, wherever she went...
I would never say I was glad Sig got shot, but I will say that she recovered nicely.
I haven't forgotten how she kept shooting Funco after the round ended, so I can never like Sako.

I hate Sako, especially with that tacked on "redemption" scene. It just felt unnatural and stupid. I would have hated her less if she kept being insane and evil.
Peace.
What tacked on redemption scene? Her behavior was consistent and straight-forward from the beginning till the end, of course within the bounds of the limited time she stayed in the show. She targeted M16 when we saw her for the first time, but withdrew when Sig appeared. During the middle matches she got personally interested in FNC (the interest in M16 being of the deposing kind). At the very end she lost to M16 and so she did what she could with FNC before leaving, and in doing so actually managed to beat Sig (though whether she knew that or not is unknown).
It's not Sako's fault if FNC as the primary main character is so forgiving.
You simply want to keep hating her. Don't try to come up with flimsy excuses you don't need.
I don't know about that. She took pleasure in Funco "Usagi" -chan during the match, that's for certain. But then she pumped her full of bullets... and next episode decides she needs to apologise so passionately kisses her.
Seems pretty schizophrenic.

So, in your opinion suddenly kissing someone you have hardly traded any words with before counts as an apology? You ought to be careful out there, Bill. If you accidentally (or purposefully) bump into a woman in the streets, she might take a dim view of you kissing her passionately out of the blue as an apology. The cops will be no more understanding, either.
I might be inclined to agree on inconsistency if she truly had apologised in a normal manner and looking like she meant it. Now it looked like she merely used it as a pretext to get closer to Funco to steal the kiss. I have no doubt she derived some sadistic sexual gratification from shooting at her back then. The kiss wasn't that different, though less physically painful for Funco.
