What If a Canon Film Was an Anime? | Gunsmith Cats RTFM Part 1

9 months ago

From 1995 to 1996, three episodes of an Original Video Animation or OVA were released animating an original story set in the world of Gunsmith Cats. The original manga created by Kenichi Sonata (who some anime fans may know for doing character art/designs for Bubblegum Crisis) ran from 1991 to 1997 with a continuation Gunsmith Cats Burst running from 2004 to 2008. Despite it's quality the OVA and manga have remained relatively obscure to modern anime fans and hopefully this video will help to change that. Join me as I discuss the merits of the OVA and stay tuned for part 2 when we'll dive into everything from the comic that was left out.

Most of the music in this video is from a Gunsmith Cats Soundtrack which is not from the OVA but I believe from a radio drama for the series and it can be found here:
