"Gun X Sword" is an anime were each episode is a random encounter along the journey of Van, not until half way through the series do the main characters begin to have a destination and a more defined goal. After getting half way through the series the plot and story-line pick up the pace as the main characters battle with the man with the claw becomes more and more action packed. One thing that this show does however that is very note worthy is that in most openings for anime you see all the characters that will appear in the show even before they appear, in "Gun X Sword" its opening shows the outlines of characters that will appear later in the show but just the outline. This is great so that way when you meet characters in the show for the first time you don't know if they are going to be a main character or not.
"Gun X Sword" is full of action and a wide range of characters that go from bad-ass to completely weird and unnecessary. Some characters you will like an other you can't wait till they are no longer apart of the show. The ending episodes is were this anime really pulls itself together, the climactic ending will leave the audience on the edge of its seat until the very last episode. In all not a bad anime, but one that take a little more time than necessary to grow on you.
Good:
-Wide array of personalities in entire series, no two characters are alike...beside the few sets twins that show up in the show.
-Large amount of climactic action scenes
-A climactic ending that keeps the audience engaged.
Bad:
-Beginning of the series was weak and not very attractive, took too long to hook the audience.
-First half of series not much for story-line just random encounters.
Scully Rating: 7.5 out of 10
