Like I've said to friends before, one of the perks of being a nanny is that when it's just the younger kids and nap time comes around I usually have a solid 2 hours or more to just relax. A good chunk is often watching anime at the computer. Had some time tonight: Was watching a few kids for my best friend and they all were asleep by about 8. Four good hours to myself. So used it to watch Gunslinger Girl and really liked it!
The plot goes between decent and a bit hokey at times but still good enough to keep me interested. It's the personality of the characters and the psychology of their professional relationships that really kept me watching tho. I don't recommend the dubbed, tho, as it was more wooden than usual but no choice as Hulu was messing up on the subbed versions.
I'm horrid at reviews but that's the long and short of it: Gunslinger Girl is interesting, a very different kind of plot and a nice break from the usual anime.
