This was quite entertaining. There are alot of gunfights, but the violence isnt of the highest level.
The story is quite unpredictable as the main character Koko and her crew try to sell her arms around the world and selling arms is a dangerous bussiness.
Sometimes the competition wants them dead, or the buyers try to change the deal. But the thing that makes it enjoyable to watch is the fact that Koko tries to outwit them and tries to defeat her enemies using more then only brute force. It really does make it more then a triggerhappy anime.
The characters have a pretty interesthing personalities. When you see Koko you will think shes a childish girl, but that changes pretty soon when you see she's a fearless leader that knows that her goods are instruments of death.
Or Jonathan a child soldier that hates weapons but is forced to work together with Koko.
This anime reminded me of Lord of War and I enjoyed it alot. I would highly recommend this if you like animes like Black Lagoon.
