My perfect anime <333

The manga is the top favorite on my 'currently reading' list so i expected a lot from the anime. I'm quite a girly fangirl so pure fighting wouldn't interest me much.

What makes this stand out from other similar action anime series is the main female character - Koko. She is one of the coolest female anime characters i've ever seen. She is surrounded by a team of extremely capable bodyguards but is nothing like a typical naive and innocent girl in most anime series. She's brave, mysterious, calm and collected, and always smiling even in the middle of a gunfight. Yet she's not like a typical cool-cold type of anime girl either. She's very expressive, has a funny personality, handles/manipulates people well.

I love all other characters as well, they're all so different. Koko's team is so much fun. I always have a thing for characters who genuinely enjoy fighting and don't take it too seriously. They're all awesome and carefree-looking. So far i haven't seen a real villain yet. The whole story is about arms dealers so you might think most of them are bad guys, but they're all so different and interesting characters.

The art is excellent. All the faces are so distinctive i'm sure i would be able to tell them apart even without the hairstyles and colors, which is extremely rare for an anime.

Being a fan of the Gundam series, i rarely watch gunfight anime but this one is the best one i've seen. Not only are the gunfights well made with very smooth moves, the tactics and strategies are also very cool. Of course the weapons are drawn meticulously beautiful.

So far the anime has followed the manga very accurately and i like that since the manga is one of my favorite ones of all time. The manga is tagged on baka-update with 'romantic subplot'??? I haven't seen any either from the manga or from the anime yet but Koko-Yona is such a cute duo. Can't see anything romantic between them though, he's 10! Btw i don't think i know how old Koko is?

Here hoping ss2 will continue being such a masterpiece :)
