July's monthly round up from MVM
20th Jun 06
Another monthly round up from MVM. So yeah, okay, most of the animes listed below have slightly questionable tiny clothing on the ladies and all that (check out the Burst Angel cover) but we love them anyway. And some of them are more interested in the blood shed than the chicks, so we like that too. More, we like that more, that's what I meant to say.
 Title: Gunslinger Girl - Volume 3
Label: MVM
Release date: 24th Jul 2006
Certificate: TBC
Price: £19.99
The third and final volume of Gunslinger Girl is released on the 24th July courtesy of MVM. The "girls with guns" series with shades of Luc Besson draws to a close.
The grizzly murder of a fratello gets Section One involved, with an investigator sent in to get to the bottom of the "cyborg problem." As the Agency scrambles to protect their girls, Henrietta and Jose find themselves on an impromptu vacation, having been sent away "for their own protection." What are they hiding? And what does Henrietta know about the deadly truth?
Then the Agency uncovers a plot which could be used to wipe out the terrorists' stronghold once and for all. Things go terribly wrong, and in an all-or-nothing attack the girls find their lives on the line. Could this be the end of the girls and the Agency? Could their lives be over before they've really begun?
