Gundress...
A while back, I picked up Gundress...
Gundress is not one of the better titles to associate itself with Masamune Shirow. There is some violence, no naughty bits and some very nice designs by Masamune Shirow, but, the story is not executed as well as I would like. I gave Gundress a 2 out of 5.
In 2100, the newly built Bayside City serves as Japan's premier international port. The Angel Arms Company is established by a former policewoman named Takako, to help wage war on terrorism with armed security suits. When the mayor is assassinated, the women of Angel Arms end up protecting the evil crime-lord Hassan, in hopes that his information will help bring down a global terror ring. Takako's back is to the wall as a band of criminals plot to kill Hassan, and the organization's leader is revealed to be the former lover of Angel Arms' own Alisa.
A classic cyberpunk story with character designs by the legendary Masamune Shirow, known as the creator of Ghost in the Shell and Dominion Tank Police.
