I just finished watching this, and I'll say this anime is pretty messed up. It's about training a bunch of girls into perfect killing machines. The thing is, they're all "innocent". You see these girls kill everyone, and you see them smiling so innocently. It really does give you the chills.

This isn't one of your stereotypical "girls with guns and sex appeal". The action isn't the main point of this series, rather the development of character. Well more like discovering more of the characters.

I thought this anime was very well made. The greatest aspect of this series I think is the way they handled the music. Everything goes very well in synch with each other. Each scene, each dialogue, each songs.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I thought the ending was very well done. From my experience, most animes have pretty lame/retarded endings.

But I thought this one actually fit very well.

Spoiler:

It's like what Hilshire says. It's too bad that these girls are cyborgs. It was a very touching ending that shows the human nature of these girls. It's interesting how Ode to Joy is being played while the girls are watching the meteor shower and while Angelica spends her few moments with someone she loves dearly. A piece celebrating joy of love brougth by Elysium. Damn. I really love the ending.

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh my God. I don't think I can watch this anime with the same heart again...

The Invislbe Children is a documentary where the exact process is done to train such children in Northern Uganda..

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.
