Review of Gunsmith Cats

A duo of girls with a vigilante streak are strongarmed by the ATF to do some odd jobs that lead to the discovery of internal corruption. As the information trail gets followed, the danger of the situation rises. Gunsmith Cats is comprised of 3 25ish-minute-long episodes and watches like a classic 80s action flick starring two hot-headed women. There is the noir detective, the car chase, the hitman (or hitwoman), the shoot-'em-up scenes, and the predictable and timeless progression of things going from bad to worse until they finally get better. There is even a bit of fanservice built right into it. The animation is great, thecharacters are kept fairly simple in their dialogues, and the plot can only be said to have aged gracefully. ATF? Internal corruption? Selling confiscated firearms in deals brokered through congressmen? What an unbelievable notion - the stuff of pure fantasy, of course.

If you like girls with guns, good animation, and a vintage-style action movie plot that has solid execution then I recommend Gunsmith Cats to you. It does not overstay its welcome.
