I stumbled over this anime series while perusing utube, and it is very entertaining. The characters are very appealing, very well drawn, and my only gripe is that they cannot handle their firearms properly. They need to keep their fingers out of the trigger guard, and Revy's choice of the 92F is rather strange because it is not really a girl's gun unless you well over 5ft 8" and have long fingers. I am 5ft 8' and I find it hard to put my trigger finger joint on the trigger of a standard 92F. The best gun for a person of around 5ft 6' is the 1911-AI, even a small hand can get to the trigger easily, and the pullback is very short. Also the 92F has a nasty habit of decocking back into DA(double action)once you push the safety up with your thumb, making your next trigger pull long and tough. Although the berreta is higher finish quality, I would recommend the taurus version of the 92F, because they have a different safety/decocker that allows you to put the gun on safe without decococking it from SA back into DA. Apart from that the 92F is OK, just a bit oversize for a 9mm luger, reliable because of the open-top slide(no stovepipe jams), but definitely not suited to Revy. I like the character of Rock, he is the stereotype blur japanese boy, entranced by all the weird characters around him, but kinda cutely drawn. Hopefully he will take a more active role in the series instead of just having to be rescued by his dreamgirl, Revy. The other characters are all so well parodied that I laugh everytime I see them. I guess they represent how the japanese see the rest of the world. It's a great series and I hope to continue watching it. Thanks for your very nice pics.

Her Japanese sounds very... well, Chinese; the accents are very much in line with the Mandarin accents I'm familiar with from Taiwan, and not at all like the flatter and more glottal noises of mainland Chinese. Color me impressed - especially since Revy apparently DID want to get Rock out of there, and lied very well about him having the papers. :D I just wonder how she kept them in place without having them fall while she was running around...
