Well, I couldn't determine the correct place to put this thread, so I guess I'll just ask it here.

I'm a big fan of gunplay. I loved shows like Cowboy Bebop, Gunsmith Cats (although the manga was much better), Gasaraki, and Noir. Trigun was okay, it didn't really hit anything. Hellsing is just...weird, but I've only seen the first 2 episodes. BUT! Blue Gender is beyond badass, if you haven't gotten a chance to see that show, watch it.

Can anyone recommend anything else, with an ungodly amount of gunplay? Preferrably girls w/ guns. I'd like to know if there's anything out there I've missed.

That's actually a much better question than I figured at first thought. There's plenty of anime with good swordfight choregraphy or good fistfight choregraphy, but what about good gunfight choregraphy? I can't seem to think of many good anime bullet ballets (a la John Woo). Well... maybe it's just because I don't tend to watch that kind of anime Anime smile + sweatdrop. I can think of City Hunter though; that has moments where the gunfights gets pretty cool.

I may be laughed at for bringing this title up, but Lost Universe actually has a fairly good amount of gunplay, mostly by Millie.

*Laughs at CorneredAngel* Razz

But seriously, that's a good recommendation. I'd check out Lost Universe for the guns, too.

well, I remember seeing some trailers for an anime a LONG time ago called "Powerdolls". I looked for it on DVD since it seemed interesting, but I can't find anything. I remember mecha and girls running around shooting people, so I tried to find it, but to no avail.

And I heard Kite was shunned in the US because of it's "kiddy porn" content, so I stayed away from that, but seriously, can anyone recommend anything, other than Hentai.
