Feb 9, 2009 vault2049 Recommended I've bought the Collector's Box of this anime, watched it in two days, and actually liked it very much. I don't know why has it got such a low score or why is so unpopular, all I have to say is that this anime haves everything you look for in a good anime: decent story, rich characters, action, humor and "echiness". The theme of the story is based on the the feudal Japan. A very old era where the weapon of choice was the katana, but in this anime there are guns as well, actually the anime itself centres around the use of this guns and ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 18, 2008 EcchiEcho Recommended I don't know whats wrong with everyone else but don't listen to them. Grenadier is a great anime. The story isn't overly complicated . Which can be a good thing. even though i guess for people who like really in depth stories it didn't appeal to them. The characters are very likable or dislike able if they are a bad guy. The characters generate just the right amount of mystery making you want to know more about them. There is a large amount of ecchi for guys that like to see bouncy boobs and long legs. It can also be a very funny ... Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 24, 2009 JesuOtaku_ Not Recommended On the technical side of things, great care was obviously taken with Rushuna’s massive assets and ensuring quality control on those ba-shook-shooks, but shortcuts are rampant everywhere else. "Oh look, he kinda froze…I guess that means he got shot?" "Explosion? Shake the still frame like a Polaroid picture!" You get the idea. The show never really impresses visually, and more often than not, it repulses with variable character models and halfhearted animation. The character designs themselves are sufficiently memorable, but not terribly unique. Back to the two main focuses of the budget, they’re ridiculous. No matter how busty you are, those things never narrow to ... Read more Open Gift Report
May 30, 2008 dabazzinator Mixed Feelings Preliminary (9/12 eps) Once you finish watching the first episode, don't continue on--unless of course you like a woman who can reload her gun using her breasts. Sounds cool huh? I thought so at first, but after she does it over and over again, it's like c'mon, try something new for a change. (sigh).This show is fun if you don't mind a repetitive theme, but after the first episode, not much changes. The story is just like any other anime out there that doesn't try to pry open the mind and make you think heavily on a subject; Grenadier is simple and boring. The art on the otherhand ...

Apr 12, 2008 ddrcrono Recommended I watched this originally via my University's animé club. The sole reason it was voted for as pitched was based on the idea that "She reloads her gun like this!" [shows clip of bullets flying out from between her breasts] Ok, some of you might be like "sign me up right now!" and some might be like "Oh God that's terrible". Though this is sort of one of the main "recognition" features of this animé, I'd say there's more to it than that. Don't expect crazy plot depth and ridiculous twists, but as I recall there's enough to it to make it interesting and though relatively ... Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 9, 2010 albesir Recommended Grenadier is an anime that most people ought to enjoy seeing once. It isn't a genius work of art or anything, but it is something enjoyable to pass the time with. And at only 12 episodes, it would be a good way to take a break from some long, serious anime you happen to be watching. Cause it's about as light an anime as you can stand, really. While I say that it's almost too lighthearted, it just fits, and it kind of warms you up. You may laugh at or scoff at those sappy moments in life, but more ... Read more Open Gift Report
Apr 30, 2013 Snakeskins Recommended Boobs, everywhere... This basically follows a super well-endowed ditzy blonde chick as she runs around trying to prevent fighting and violence in general. How does she plan to do this? by stripping them of their armour, which is meant to be taken the dirty way, but after so long the phrase just gets really lame, but yeah thats her plan. To do that she decides that flashing smiles will solve all the problems, guess what, ... Read more Open Gift Report
Dec 7, 2011 Wallachia Mixed Feelings Will Grenadier's service with a smile put one on your face? Grenadier is a manga series by Sosuke Kaise. Halfway through its initial publishing run from 2003 to 2006, it received a twelve episode anime adaption by Group TAC. It's pretty short, so Grenadier is an easy show to pick up. Whether or not it's worth it is what shall soon be found out. Visuals: The artwork in Grenadier is fairly consistent and doesn't show too many quality issues. It's never very detailed, but does have fairly vibrant ... Read more Open Gift Report
Nov 7, 2019 mouthpiece Mixed Feelings Grenadier is the smutty daughter of Trigun and Rurouni Kenshin. It has the same theme in it (fighting for something, either honor, peace, or ambition) and at the same time it has lots of brainless fan service in the form of nude and action. Although most such shows have only an excuse for a story, this one in particular is occasionally trying to focus on its theme in ways that are somewhat smart. So the story begins with swordsmen being wiped out by modern weapons. A survivor of them meets a girl who happens to be a master gunner with the title of Grenadier. She is ...

Jan 7, 2018 Skinwalker8200 Recommended Dear readers, If you have nothing else to watch at the moment, then you must watch this anime, since it has comedy, some action and ecchi in it. The story about getting a bounty on your head is something I haven't seen so far, so that is original. It was confusing in the beginning though, because the main characters were saving people and the female main character still got a bounty lol. The art is old, because it is an anime of 2004, but I still enjoyed it and that fact isn't something to be worried about. The characters were good developed and I also liked it, because ...

Oct 17, 2012 Hoochfox Mixed Feelings By no means painful to watch, but more of a time killer than good entertainment. The plot feels a bit contrived as do many of the characters, and some events and decisions seem completely illogical and clearly exist only to force the plot in a given direction; perhaps I blinked at the wrong time but the end moments of Rushuna Tendou's climactic battle left me wondering what in god's name I had just missed. But perhaps you're watching for the ecchi - which is mediocre and, by the time you've seen the same boob-jiggling gag three times in rapid fire succession (pun intended), ...

Aug 1, 2016 TheMKninjaYT Recommended There are times where you see an anime that gets good reviews that you don't necessarily agree with, and feel like they're building it up too much (for me, a prime example is Attack on Titan), where there are others that get called mediocre or even bad that you find yourself liking (I like Tokyo ESP quite a bit). Grenadier fits into the latter for me, I quite enjoy it. The story, in my opinion, is probably the weakest element. It's mainly just our three heroes travelling across the world and fighting people along the way. There are parts of the story that are quite nice, ... Read more Open Gift Report
Feb 26, 2023 AeroGunz Mixed Feelings “Grenadier: The Beautiful Warrior” is what happens when You’ve read “Trigun” and think “Hmm… What if Vash had huge breasts, zero to no drama and didn’t have a crippling donuts addiction?” It’s an anime about an overpowered, blonde bombshell gunslinger with a huge bosom, a pretty useless sword slinging companion and their journey to set the wrongs of the world right.. If You think that is an oversimplification of the anime… For most of the anime the main cast consists of: Read more Open Gift Report
Jun 3, 2012 mdude009 Not Recommended A grenadier by definition was a soldier in around the Napoleonic era that specialized in using grenades, however in anime terms aparently grenadier means "take a concept of a show that was good and add over-the-top fan-service." That good show I'm talking about is of course Trigun, and you will see me use that show as an example a lot during this review because the fact of the matter is that Grenadier is basically a half-assed rule 63 (one of the rules of the internet, "if it exists, there is a female version of it, no exception") version of Trigun. On to the review. Story 2/10: ... Read more Open Gift Report |
