Wow! What's not to like about a series in which the name of every character and locale is a firearm or firearms-related reference? Very Happy

My favourite character in the series:

And her namesake:

Mr. Green

alexkusu SG

i ddnt knw MG watches anime Shocked

MooKu SG

Ahem.

There's a hint of incest in this show.

And that the brother was named Shannon, and the sister named Raquel, took some getting used to.

But overall, the story is beautiful and ended well, with Pacifica forgetting the painful loss she suffered in the days she spent with amnesia.

Oh and the soundtrack has some very nice pieces. Wink

the Bear SG

tried to watch it.. was thoroughly bored by it…

seow SG

shannon and raquel were incestious?

wu ya bo?

MooKu SG

bo ya.

shannon and pacifica!

though they're not blood siblings, they are still siblings. Sometimes their level of intimacy and the extent of shannon's protection gives me goosebumps - it seems to exceed that of a protective sibling, a guardian, or maybe more aptly put, it seems to umm, over-step onto another level a little.

Especially the last episode! Laughing

Or maybe you can put it in this way - Pacifica sees Shannon as purely an elder brother she can rely on and stick to, but Shannon probably doesn't entirely see her as a younger sister. Razz

But it's just an anime, so er, let's not think too much. Confused Rolling Eyes

MooKu SG

your siggy is stretching my screen Mad

seow SG

the last episode one bopian lah. Laughing

Anyway, if shannon and raquel were to appear as a pair, i would be convinced too. Shocked

Meia Gisborn SG

Shannon might have been overly protective of Pacifica, but none of his actions to that end struck me as being potentialy incestuous.

Truth be told, I was so hoping for a Shannon-CZ pair-up by the end of the series; the last few episodes seemed to hint at this possibility, but, sadly, that was not to be the case.
