As you can see from the synopsis, Gunnm is your standard "person loses memory, fights bad guys to regain memory". I'll get right to the point: Gunnm is an anime that feels like it was rushed right out the door. It has a very ambitious plot that falls flat on its face, and ending that disappoints, and almost no character development. Yes, I know it's a 2-episode anime but that's no excuse to not have a good ending. Another gripe I have deals with character relationships. When a character confesses their love, we should be feeling happiness. In this, I just felt "uh.. okay. Who's he again?" I won't spoil the ending, but I will tell you to not get your hopes up.

There have got to be positives to this, right? Yes, definitely. The plot, as I said, is very ambitious and I was excited to the very end to discover the secrets of Gally's past and why she fell from Zalum. No luck, though. Nothing is explained. I haven't witnessed something like this since the abomination that was the Spiral ending.

Another positive is the animation style. It's dark, gritty, gloomy, and depressing. It effortlessly shows us the melancholic life of the people living in the slums and really provides so much detail. If you've seen Kite you might know what I'm talking about although this is really on a whole new level above that.

In the end, Gunnm is an anime that you should watch just for the experience. It'll give you a whole new perspective on a lot of things, but if you want something that is really deep and emotional you should look elsewhere.
