The Bus's Transit of Anime Realities
Gunsmith Cats Since my interest in anime began early in 1997 due to AnimeFan in GameFan magazine, one of the title reviewed was the final GSC chapter which seemed to be pretty interesting and unique since it was set in my favorite big city. Unfortunately since SunCoast was putting "must be 18 years old to purchase, ID required stickers" I had to wait until they restocked these videos to buy them. When February 1998 came around I had only one month till I was 18, but all that waiting was unnecessary since A.D.V. films put all the episodes on one tape. Finally those guys correctly packaged an anime and sold it at a fair price. Okay now I have the series. Probably the most interesting thing about it how accurately portrays the "Windy City" from its L Trains to sky line, the interstate highway to the the soda cans, that Min Mei Hopkins is wearing a shirt of my favorite baseball team, the Cubs, to the blues soundtrack which is pretty cool. Its got a lot of action, but I feel its still more of a comedy kind of like any Schwartzineger action film between T2 and Eraser. The biggest flaw with the series it tries to hard to create scandals and conspiracies that hurt the series as it goes a long. If you want a comedy, you may want to buy the first 3 Files of Burn-Up W instead, but the comedy is a lot more ridiculus, so if you want something more down to earth this is it. Also the action in GSC and conspiracies are a lot better done than Burn-Up W did. When it comes to these series your going to have to give something to get something, but either way you'll still get chicks with guns. |
