Irishchatter I absolutely loved this girl team type of anime, both Nadi and Ellis were such badasses. Nadi kinda reminds me of a Han Solo type and Ellis is just really a smart girl who you wouldn't want to mess around with. I even loved how this anime has that relaxing western style added to it, it really brings the series into light here lol! To be honest with ya, this anime is a lot better then Noir since the characters have such unique personalities and are likeable! 9/10!!!
Tweekums Having enjoyed both "Noir" and "Madlax" I was pleased to find the third part of Bee Train's "Girls with guns" trilogy available on Funimation's YouTube channel. When I started watching I immediately noticed that the quality of the animation was better than that in the two previous series. Another difference that soon became apparent was that this series is far less violent than its predecessors'.Nadie is a bounty hunter who has been hired to capture Ellis, a girl suspected of murder, a murder that she herself does not know if she committed as she has lost her memory. Once they are together the grow closer and later Nadie's contract is changed to protecting Ellis as she heads south to a lost village. On their way they meet a variety of characters such as L.A. a rather creepy boy who is obsessed with Ellis and will kill anybody who tries to stop him getting to her and Ricardo, a bounty hunter travelling with Lirio, a young girl who likes our two heroines. I've tried to keep the plot description to a minimum to avoid any spoilers.Even though there is a far lower body count than the previous series it still managed to be exciting. As well as toned down violence there was less fan service than "Madlax", there was the occasional bare bottom but nothing more. As with the other parts of the trilogy this has a great sound track. I really enjoyed this series and hope it it gets a UK DVD release one day.These comments are based on watching the series in Japanese with English subtitles.
Edgar Shmeld Like previous bee train animes plot focuses on girl duo. Plot focuses around bounty hunter Nadie who is hired to protect socially inept girl Ellis who posses mystical powers. Although plot is centered on mystical Ellis powers, plot isn't filled with unexplained events. Unlike previous tittles El cazador doesn't feature insane gunfights with tons of corpses but there is still quite some action. Also unlike noir/madlax it has good dose of humor mixed in, and it makes series much more light hearted although it still features many dark scenes. Few words on music: As with other Yuki Kajiura composed music in El cazdor it adds a lot of atmosphere and is on level. On downside of this anime is that it features quite few episodes which arnt relevant to plot in any manner and mostly serves as filler and can scare of some viewers very slowly developing plot in first 10 episodes.
andrej-zupanic The anime focuses on two main characters, Nadi and Ellis. Nadi is a bounty hunter and Ellis is a murder suspect. Watching just the first episode won't help you understand the plot, because it just opens the secrets and the second episode follows the same way. To understand what is going on, you'll need to watch all episodes, since the first few episodes develop characters and set the story. After that the story starts to unfold. But I won't tell you what the story really is about. You'll just have to see it for yourselves.The animation is good, kinda cute, and still you get comedy, thriller, action and drama in it. The comedic and dramatic moments are the ones that make you watch this anime. They really are detailed. The music is good and it really portrays the events in the anime.The only negative thing is the length of the series. It is said that it will only contain 12 episodes and this is too bad, because eight episodes are already out, so it means only four left. What a shame. I really wouldn't mind, if there were more episodes.But anyway, it is a nice anime with a good plot. It is not perfect, but still it draws your attention. It is good entertainment and that is enough for me.
