@@thiccfork8664 yup it is and all the sound Clips for it are real he sent over members of his team to get pictures of the landscape and s*** in Chicago and while they were in the states he got them to also fly to California cuz he had a connection at a car museum to get him a video and audio clips of the car and just think for a second what it must have been like for those Japanese people to see a 67 GT500 that would be like a Canadian or an American going over to Japan and getting face to face with a 1966 Nissan GTR
@@WeHeartGiantRobots fun fact about Rally's car if you want to get a real one in real life you're going to have to drop anywhere from $300,000 to $600,000 depending on condition
@@TheUssrcjak47 Jeez, and they are hard on the ATF as it is, imagine how bad it would be if a remake goes up to Waco and Ruby Ridge (I do know there’s a fairly long manga but I don’t know what year it ends)
So the other thing is, this is spot on location scouting. It's amazingly accurate to chicago and crazy detailed down to individual streets and buildings even way out in indiana. Blew me away
This is pure KINO for gun enthusiasts . This anime and cowboy bebop are the shows that propelled me into the hobby and the very reason I own a browning hipower and a Jericho 941
There is more detail on the guns and cars than on the character designs, but that's ok, it's all good. Sonoda loves cars, guns, girls, and America, particulary Chicago.
The mangas ( Gunsmith Cats and the 2008 sequel Gunsmith Cats Burst) focuses equally on cars and guns. The car Rally drove was a '67 Shelby GT500 Cobra, not a Mustang II Cobra (which I shit you not I took a picture of a blue one today) until she got a Boss 302 swapped Cobra II in the Burst manga after her GT500 explodes. Bean Bandit also is a reoccurring character in the manga. Fun fact: They actually recorded exhaust notes from Mustangs and live gun fire at ranges while visiting Chicago. Being a gun and car enthusiast this show got everything right for me and especially the attention to detail and lengths they went to in making the mangas and ovas.
Yeah they clearly put a lot of time and effort into getting the details right for this OVA. Makes sense, if you're adapting a manga for gun nuts by a gun nut.
If I had all the money in the world I would bring this back so hard the OVA deserves 26 episodes instead of the 3 we got. Understandable though considering how expensive the animation was.
Fuck me, I just got the absolute mother of all nostalgia gut-punches…I’m pretty sure Gunsmith Cats was the second manga I ever got into, waaaay back in, like, 2007-2008. And considering that my first manga was Fruits Basket, Gunsmith Cats was definitely my first “real man’s” manga. Page after page of guns, scantily-clad ladies, guns, car chases, guns, explosions and guns, and all of it so beautifully drawn. Definitely a golden oldie. 👌
Absolutely amazing accuracy details on the guns! During the warehouse shootout a shotgun hits the door. I went back and paused to count exactly 9 impacts which indicates the shell used was 00 buckshot.
Rally's baby is a 1967 Shelby GT-500 with a 428 tuned out to over 500 bhp. She doesn't acquire the Cobra II until the Burst manga when that asshat Percy destroys her Shelby and buys the Kng Cobra before her.
As you said, if you like girls with guns, you will like this movie. If you ever watched a cheap action film from the 90s, wished it was animated by a really talented team, and then was released as an Anime, that's all this is, and I love it.
Do a video on Aldonoah Zero. It kinda has a so "bad it's good" quality with all the nonsence it throws at you. Love your Gundam discussions BTW and i hope you guys try some of the alternative universe series like 00 and IBO.
We've got a policy at WHGR that basically goes "if Demo D reviewed it, we probably won't cos he did it better". But hey, never say never. Definitely gonna delve into some of the other Gundam universes as well.
I love guns as much as the next guy but you can't tell me guns is the only reason to wash this handmade when Rally drives a 67 GT500 for f*** sake the best muscle car to ever exist in my opinion
Rally's Mustang 2 cobra is not featured in the anime it's manga only and she only gets the Mustang 2 Cobra spoiler alert if you don't want spoiler stop reading but she doesn't get the Mustang 2 Cobra until Shelby gets blown up because a terrorist rigs her with a bomb and rally has to make the decision try to save her car and risk it blowing up killing countless people or get the car as far away from a populated area as she can and let the car go out with a blaze of glory
if i remember correctly it was cut short after the 3rd episode and so were many other good ones like Tenchi Muyo that were just killed off for more of these less then desirable animes sure some of them are quite good but half of them lack the same concept in art and anime is best left to the hand drawn versions rather then CGI animation because that is the laziest way to go plus the action is far better, plus most of the CGI animes never make it past the 1st or second episodes as to where the old hand drawn animes they made it well into a 2nd or 3rd season even though a few never made it due to lack of money and viewers at the time and no one bothers with the newest animes i think it's all in how the art and skill and hard work put into it is what makes others enjoy it so much
Oh there's questionable shit in Gunsmith Cats, the manga is more explicit about it Minnie May is underage and has been dating her much older boyfriend for a while, oh and she was a child prostitute before she met Rally, so yeah.
@@WeHeartGiantRobots The first US release of the manga censored this part of the plot. Technically she's 17 and thus not underage in Illinois (though it's uncertain if Sonoda was aware of the relevant laws when he wrote it -- at the time he wrote it the AoC was 16), but the really weird/creepy bit is she took growth hormone blockers to keep herself small.
The animation is beautiful, the characters are easy to get behind, but, if your the smart type, the plot of each episode can be a little predictable. Other than that, it’s a cute little gunslinger series that, unfortunately, only consisted of three episodes. I’d give it an 85%, and it’s definitely worth a watch.
