This is the story of some little girls. Girls who were about to die, and were given a new life, but the cost of that new life is to become inhuman. They become cyborgs; a little bit human, and a lot machine. The reason these girls were rescued from certain death was not altruism. Their new life is as assassins under the direction of their "big brothers". The series is set in Italy, so the "siblings" are referred to as "fratelli".
They may be the most lethal little ladies around, but they are still little girls. Their emotions and reactions are those of young girls.
Strongly recommended if you want a series that mixes masses of gunfire with some thought-provoking moral questions.
The series is beautifully animated (something that sadly declines in the second season). This Bluray version shows off the beauty of the animation. I liked the DVD version, which was a good clean transfer, but the Bluray transfer is superb.Get more detail about Gunslinger Girl: The complete First Season [Blu-ray].
