A bit of a nice tactical bait and switch there with the themes and content; you think you're getting some ridiculous action filler with tough, gun-toting little children but it's actually a pretty serious drama that focuses on the relationships and thought processes of people in a pretty shitty situation. The characters are all quite different and this makes character interaction the show's main draw. The girls are cute, the animation is great, the music is wonderful, VA's a bit iffy and the art is great. Solid show.
